On-demand charter

One flight at a time. Every detail in writing.

Tell us where and when. We compare the market across our operator network, verify the aircraft and crew, and send two or three itemized options, usually within the hour. No membership, no deposit on account, no obligation until you sign.

We own no aircraft. That is the point.

An operator sells the planes it manages. We sell nothing but the right answer for the trip. For each request we canvass the operators whose aircraft fit your route and party, compare positioning and price, pull a trip-specific safety report on the aircraft and both pilots, and negotiate on your behalf.

The operating carrier is named on every quote and contract, as US Department of Transportation rules require, and you can ask for its insurance certificate and audit report before you fly. If something changes after booking, you hear it from us before it is charged.

You get breadth, which matters most on short notice and at peak dates, and independence, which matters most when the safety check is done by someone who does not profit from a particular aircraft flying.

All questions

How much does it cost to charter a private jet?

On-demand charter is priced by the flight hour plus repositioning, crew and airport charges. As a guide, light jets run $3,200–5,500 per hour, midsize $4,300–8,500, super-midsize $6,500–12,000, heavy jets $8,000–15,000 and ultra-long-range aircraft $12,000–25,000, before the 7.5% Federal Excise Tax on domestic flights. A New York to Miami flight on a light jet typically starts around $18,500 one way. Every quote we send is itemized and confirmed with the operator before you commit.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Your quote lists the flight time, any repositioning, crew overnights, landing and handling fees, catering, de-icing where applicable, and taxes. Fuel surcharges are included in the hourly rate. If the operator changes something after booking, we tell you before it is charged.

What is the Federal Excise Tax and when does it apply?

The US Federal Excise Tax (FET) is 7.5% of the amount paid for domestic air transportation, plus a per-passenger segment fee of $5.30 in 2026. It applies to flights within the United States and the 225-mile zone across its borders. International flights pay a per-passenger head tax instead. The tax is collected by the operator and shown separately on your quote.

How do empty legs work and how much do they save?

An empty leg is a repositioning flight an aircraft must make anyway, sold at a discount of typically 30–50% and occasionally more. Dates, times and routing are fixed by the primary trip and can change or cancel if that trip changes. Empty legs suit flexible travellers; we publish them as they are released and notify clients who have registered their routes.

How far in advance should I book?

Domestic flights can be arranged with as little as four hours' notice, and we regularly confirm same-day departures. For the best aircraft choice we recommend one to two weeks. International trips need 24–48 hours for customs and permits, and peak dates such as Thanksgiving, the days after Christmas, the Super Bowl and the Monaco Grand Prix should be booked four to ten weeks ahead.

What happens after I request a quote?

An advisor calls or messages you within minutes to confirm the brief, then sends two or three aircraft options with photographs, year of manufacture, operator safety ratings and an itemized price. You choose, sign a short charter agreement, pay by wire or card, and receive a full itinerary with the operating carrier's name, crew details, FBO addresses and your flight-ops contact.

Where do you need to be?

Tell us the trip. An advisor replies with itemized aircraft options, usually within the hour, at any time of day.
