Charter a Plane

Contact aviation charter companies directly to reserve a plane or make reservations through a charter plane network that contacts air charter services for you.

I recommend: Use an air charter company network, such as Air Charter Network or Air Charter Service, and grab discounts and special deals. Save money by flying “backhaul” on empty leg flights of aviation charter companies through air charter services networks like Leg Seek.com. These are typically empty return seats on previously chartered flights. Charter airlines often sell one-way tickets, which means the return seat is empty and priced at a discount. Charter airline networks keep track of these “backhaul” flights and sell them for the air charter company.

Travel With Charter Airlines for Convenience

Not only is flying airline charters less stressful than flying commercial, but also chartered planes are typically smaller and are private, and airline charters can land at just about any airport. Many of the smaller airports are more conveniently located and have more accessible parking with point to point air-to-ground transportation. Luggage can be taken from your vehicle directly to your plane.

I recommend: With the convenience, easy access and stress-free environment chartered flying offers, the benefits supersede the costs. Select your airport (AirNav.com) and even select your plane; easily fly based on your own schedule or your company's schedule. Choose from various national and international air charter companies: Revolution Air, CSI Aviation Services, Air Royale or Air Charter.com.

Get Your own Private Pilot and Plane

Find private pilots willing to charter to small groups. In fact, a few remote locations are only accessible by sky ferry or a private air taxi, and as more people are doing business via the Internet, your company may find it necessary to travel to business destinations off the beaten path. Some businesses opt to even buy their own planes and hire commercial rated private pilots to fly them or allow their own licensed employees to fly the planes. Leasing planes is more of an option for businesses today as well. Never miss an important meeting again due to commercial airline delays.

I recommend: For sky ferry, air taxi and private pilot services, contact smaller charter air companies directly, such as Executive Air Taxi Corporation for travel between major Midwest cities and cities on the East Coast or Northwest Sky Ferry, which offers flight services for the Northwest including Washington, Oregon and Canada.
