Private charter flights for business

A private business jet rental is your fast track to time-saving convenience and travel flexibility. It’s the only truly effective solution for executives, senior management and key personnel who have strict schedules to stick to, meetings in different cities or several site visits in a single day. 

Being able to hire a private jet anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice is about more than taking back control of your travel schedule. The space and comfort of an executive jet allows you to choose how you’ll spend your time in the air. This could be working on a presentation, meeting with clients or colleagues, or relaxing so you arrive energized for the next push ahead.

With so many popular business planes to choose from, your dedicated jet charter specialist will make sure you always enjoy the ideal aircraft for a particular journey, whether it’s a light jet for domestic travel, a turboprop for those hard to reach areas, or an executive airliner for transcontinental flights.

Private aircraft rental for leisure

Private plane rental for leisure travel is becoming extremely popular. Why? Because we value every moment of our leisure time, which means the journey is as important as the destination. 

When you fly with a small charter airline, like those we work with, you avoid the frustrating issues around commercial air travel – easy airport parking, access to private terminals, no queuing in long security lines, and the peace of mind that your aircraft charter will wait for you if you’re a few minutes late. You can also take more luggage or equipment on board, relax and stretch out in a comfortable recliner, and enjoy good food without a plastic knife or fork in sight.

Whether it’s a short trip for a weekend’s skiing or a two-week vacation in the Caribbean, your dedicated charter expert will guide you through the easy process of booking a private jet and help you choose from a variety of popular private planes to get you and your loved ones to your destination in comfort and with a minimum of fuss. You arrive relaxed, well-rested and ready to make the most of your adventure.

Questions about Flying by Private Plane

How do I charter a private jet?

After you’ve inquired about a charter jet, you’ll be assigned a personal charter specialist. This person will send you a selection of quotes to choose from, each of which will have a clear breakdown of aircraft and airports as well as the reasons they’ve been chosen for you. If you want to go ahead, your account manager will make the bookings and send you the flight details. This includes directions to the terminal and any other important information to do with your charter.

Your personal account manager is your go-to person for any questions or requests you have up to the flight and, if possible, they’ll meet you at the terminal to see you off. Throughout the process, they’ll be contactable 24/7, and you can call from anywhere, whenever you like – that’s how easy it can be to rent a private jet!

How do I choose a plane for my private flight?

Your dedicated account manager will narrow down your best options from the many aircraft available to you. When helping you to make your final choice, we always base our advice on your needs for that specific trip. You can take a look at our aircraft guide for more information.

How fast is a private jet?

This depends on the class of jet. Typically, Heavy Jets, Super Midsize Jets and Midsize Jets fly at speeds from 400 to 500 mph, Light Jets around 400 to 480 mph, and Turboprops at 220 to 315 mph. But keep in mind when choosing a charter jet, that the speed of an aircraft can be affected by things like headwinds, jet streams, altitude, flight turbulence, weather conditions, and the number of passengers and baggage onboard.

How far can a private jet fly?

Heavy jets are designed to carry as many people and as much baggage as possible over longer distances. Used mainly for international travel, the average range of a Heavy Jet is 7,000 miles or eight hours of nonstop flying time.

Midsize Jets are a good choice if you want to fly 2,450 miles – that would be the equivalent of flying from New York to Los Angeles in less than five hours without having to stop to refuel. But keep in mind that the distance an aircraft can fly depends on a number of things like payload which includes the number of passengers and baggage onboard as well as the amount of fuel carried and wind and weather conditions.

Light jets that usually seat four to eight people, are a luxurious way to travel distances of up to 1,500 miles before having to refuel, or three to four hours of flying time. Turboprops are especially cost-efficient over distances of 600 to 1,000 miles.

How much luggage can I take with me on charter flights?

We will let you know how much the hold can take on the aircraft you’ve chosen. You will be able to upgrade if you need more space. Usually, you would be able to take more baggage with you on a private aircraft rental than on a commercial airline. You might need to upgrade if taking onboard items like golf clubs or skis.

When do I need to check-in before my charter flight?

When using private terminals, you can check in much closer to take-off than on a commercial airline flight. Sometimes you can arrive just 15 minutes before your airplane is due to depart, and in some cases you can be driven directly to the aircraft for boarding.

Can I fly with my pet on a charter flight?

Yes, although there are rules when flying into or out of the US with a companion animal. They will need a pet passport as well as being microchipped, and their rabies vaccinations must be up to date. A private air charter is one of the kindest ways to transport your pet from one destination to another.

How much is a private jet flight?

The cost of a private plane rental depends on the distance you travel and the aircraft you’ve chosen. A short 40-minute flight in a small plane could cost around $2,800, while the price of a 1.5-hour flight in a Midsize Jet will be closer to $34,500. As the size of jet and flight times increase, how much you’ll pay to rent a private jet will also increase.
