About Private Jet Charter

Most people who are new to private jet travel have very little knowledge about how it works. In fact, many customers using Forjet for the first time have questions in some very important areas.

What are the safety standards of the aircraft used?

The FAA has requirements for the equipment, maintenance and crew of each aircraft, but the open charter market is largely unregulated in terms of safety.

  • The FAA does not have the resources to inspect every certified charter aircraft.
  • There are two major safety rating agencies that specialize in private jet charters – Aviation Research Group (ARG/US) and Wyvern.
  • While there are exceptions, most reliable aircraft operators are registered with one or two companies.

Peak Season Charter Flights

Peak season trips are no different from other charters, but increased demand can affect pricing and availability.

  • When booking a peak season trip, contact your provider at least 30 days in advance if possible.
  • With major holidays approaching, flyers are booking fast, limiting the pool of options available for late-booking customers.
  • If all planes at or near the departure airport are already booked, you may have to pay more to fly on a plane from outside the area.

Last Minute Charter Flights

Last minute trips may require special considerations, but most flights can be booked with little notice.

  • Last minute charter flights are a basic offer offered by every on-demand provider.
  • The uptime varies by provider, but most flights can be arranged in as little as 2-4 hours.
  • Aircraft and crew availability is a primary concern for last minute travel. There is a limited number of aircraft and pilots available for a particular journey at any given time.
  • For example, it can be difficult to book flights from rural airports at midnight during major holidays!

If you are new to chartering a private jet, an on-demand program may be the right choice for you.

With no capital commitment required and the ability to try out different aircraft, on-demand charters are a great way to familiarize yourself with the world of private jet travel..
