Both commercial and private aviation involve flying passengers to their destinations, but they differ significantly in terms of flexibility. Commercial aviation operates on fixed schedules and routes, while private aviation offers more flexibility regarding time, route, and other aspects of the journey.
Charter companies provide services that allow customers to rent or lease an aircraft for a specific itinerary or period. This service grants passengers control over their flight schedule, destination, passenger count, and onboard facilities without owning a jet. Customers can choose from various aircraft categories such as Very Light Jets, Small Light Jets, Super Light Jets, Midsize Jets, Super-Midsize Jets, Heavy Jets, Ultra-Long-Range Heavy Jets, and Executive Liners.
According to Globe Air, air charter services are divided into four categories: Private Charter, Corporate Charter, Cargo Charter, and Emergency and Medical Charter. These services cater to different needs ranging from personal travel to urgent medical deliveries.
