Our Air Charter, also called air taxi or ad-hoc flights require certification from the associated country’s national aviation authority. The regulations are differentiated from typical commercial/passenger service by offering a non-scheduled service. In the U.S. these flights are regulated under FAA Part 135. There are some cases where a charter operator can sell scheduled flights, but only in limited quantities. The same regulations also apply to Air Ambulance and cargo operators.

Types of Services

There are several business models which offer air charter services from the traditional charter operator to
brokers and jet card programs:

• Charter Operators – certified by their associated government body such as the FAA for US carriers have legal authority to advertise and conduct flights for hire.
• Air Charter Broker – Charter Brokers arrange flights on behalf of their clients, acting as an “Authorized Agent”.
• Jet card – Programs offered by both brokers and operators where a customer is offered a fixed hourly rate for a specific jet category and the broker or operator sources a jet from the available charter fleet.
• Online marketplace – Online Booking platform where the client can choose and book the desired aircraft directly with the operator.
