Private jet charters | Official Website

Access to private jet flights has never been easier, with customers able to choose from a variety of jet ownership and charter programs available on the market. Moreover, private jet membership cards and hop-on services further make private jet travel more accessible. Besides ownership services, private jet management companies offer charter programs and jet memberships to their customers.

The question arises: Is chartering a private jet better than purchasing a membership? Which one is more economical? The answer depends on the user. Occasional private jet charters may offer greater flexibility and be more economical than signing up for a membership program. Conversely, for more frequent use, a private jet membership may return greater benefits, particularly lowering the rental cost of the aircraft.

Private jet charters are typically done on a per-hour basis, with the minimum number of hours determined by the service provider. The cost depends on the size and type of the aircraft, along with its model. Older models with greater flight hours logged can be relatively cheaper, whereas newer models offering greater comfort and technological advancements are more expensive to rent.
