Safety, security, convenience and productivity are key reasons why individuals and companies choose on-demand air transportation for personal and business travel. Air charter flights operate on the passenger’s schedule, allowing considerable flexibility. With the ability to fly in and out of more than 5,000 public use airports in the United States – more than 10 times that of the airlines – air charter provides safe and convenient access to your destination.
Even with all the benefits air charter provides, it also is true that not all air charter operators can or will meet your specific wants and needs. You must become an educated air charter consumer. A general understanding of what questions to ask and what answers to expect will assist you in your effort to choose a charter operator that will provide the aircraft and service level you require and deserve.
This NBAA guide, available exclusively to NBAA members, serves as a basic introduction to aircraft charter. It provides a high-level over-view of the aircraft charter industry and the federal government’s involvement in establishing regulations and overseeing charter operations. The guide also provides you with tools you may customize and use to pre-screen charter operators and charter brokers to obtain competitive quotes for charter flights.
