Private Jet Charter Services and Flights
Shared Charter Aircraft Empty Leg Flights and Charters

Flying by charter differs from scheduled aviation in many ways, but from the point of view of the customer it can be summarized in three words: efficiency, privacy and flexibility. You may be a corporate travel planner trying to get eight executives from New York to Nebraska as safely and with as little downtime as possible. You may be trying to lift a critically ill patient from one hospital to another. You may be trying to move the all-star cast, crew and equipment of a block-buster film from Los Angeles to Vancouver, or you may just be trying to get your family from London to Aruba as swiftly and comfortably as possible. Whatever your priorities, charter air travel gives you the freedom to organize the trip around your needs.

When you fly scheduled airlines, you travel on the airline's schedule (assuming they're on time) and zigzag along their hub-and-spoke routes, connecting here, changing planes there, and sometimes doubling or tripling your travel time. Long drives to and from large commercial international airports, time spent reserving, picking up and clearing airline tickets and checking, tagging or even losing luggage drains your productivity even further. You then wait in lines with no end in sight, only to disrobe, unpack, be searched and then get dressed. You repack and regain your dignity, while finally climbing aboard an aircraft with 300 perfect strangers. A useful and private business meeting on board a commercial airliner is all but impossible, and completing work confidentially or otherwise is more than a challenge.

With charter, you fly where you want, when you want, in the plane you want, and with extra amenities you choose yourself. Increasingly more and more business and pleasure travelers are discovering the advantages of charter travel. Time is money and every wasted moment is a lost opportunity. Aircraft charter puts you in control of your schedule by placing a fleet of aircraft at your disposal anywhere you are in the world.

airway distance: The actual (as opposed to straight line) distance flown by the aircraft between two points, after deviations required by air traffic control and navigation along established routes. The difference between this and straight line distance will vary throughout the country. Average figures would be between 5–9%.amphibious floats: FLOATS or "pontoons" equipped with retractable wheels that permit the aircraft to operate from paved airports.

ARO: Airport reservation office. Staffed by the FAA, this entity allocates landing and take-off reservations for unscheduled aircraft in and out of the following airports: JFK, LGA, EWR, DCA, ORD (see airport identifier listings for codes). Since these allocations are scarce and granted 48 hours in advance on a first-come-first-served basis, travel to these five airports may be difficult by charter.

Green Jets Incorporated (Greenjets) arranges flights on behalf of clients and Greenjetcard members with FAR Part 135 air carriers that exercise full operational control of charter flights at all times. Greenjets does not own or operate aircraft. Flights are operated by FAR Part 135 air carriers that meet all FAA safety standards and additional safety standards established by Greenjets.



Air charter is also known as air taxi, executive charter,
jet charter and is part of general aviation.

Air charter is the business of renting an entire aircraft (i.e., chartering) as opposed to individual aircraft seats (i.e., purchasing a ticket through a traditional airline). While the airlines specialize in selling transportation by the seat, air charter companies focus on individual private aircraft and itineraries, urgent or time-sensitive freight, cargo, air ambulance and any other form of ad hoc air transportation.

In the United States air charter and air taxi operations are governed by Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, unlike the larger scheduled airlines, which are governed by more stringent standards of Part 121 of the FARs, which are regulations designed for scheduled air carriers.

History

The growth of corporate aviation and related air taxi and air charter suppliers, boomed following the close of World War II. With surplus aircraft available, air charter companies entered the business of charter flights for executives, high end travelers, special missions (such as organ donor flights, critical auto parts freight, etc.), sports teams, entertainers, etc.

Technology and business structure

The 1960s saw the arrival of the first small jets, such as the Learjet. The Learjet was adopted by some of the first jet air charter operators, such as Hop-A-Jet and Clay Lacy. Both companies still exist today as larger charter management firms. Charter management became popular at the dawn of the private jet age as a way for companies to own aircraft "off their books" - namely away from the prying eyes of shareholders. Local entrepreneurs realized that by managing the aircraft that belonged to another entity (one that could afford to buy the multi-million dollar aircraft) they could help offset the cost of ownership through rental income and aggregate owner costs for insurance, fuel, maintenance, etc. Today, this type of aircraft ownership arrangement forms more than 75% of the on-demand air charter industry for the United States, which encompasses about 70% of the air charter activity in the world.

In 2004, the FAA began the process to re-regulate the Part 135 industry, mainly due to the widespread problems created by the tension between aircraft owners and management companies. The FAA felt that air carriers (the air charter companies) had in some cases begun to lose operational control. The term "operational control" indicates which entity (aircraft owner, management company, broker, etc.) is controlling the aircraft's movements, crewing and compliance with applicable government regulations. In 2006 the FAA released a new Operations Specification regulation and guidance which more clearly defined the requirements for operational control of an aircraft performing a private charter flight.

Air charter options available

Several options are available for flying privately, according to investment available and flight frequency desired. Fractional ownership programs popularized the notion of private aircraft use and ownership in the 1990s. A number of owners share an aircraft (or a certain type aircraft - one of many a fractional company manages). Owners purchase typically from 1/2 to 1/16 of an aircraft, pay a per-flight-hour charge, related fuel and flight fees, and divide management expenses. Fractional aircraft ownerships growth led to the advent of regulations in the United States designed to regulate fractionally owned aircraft companies. These regulations are given in Part 91 Subpart K and bring fractional aircraft operations into line with existing air charter regulations, making fractional ownership into simply another flavor of ad hoc air transportation.

Jet Membership was created in 1999 by Sentient Jet, and allowed fliers to secure guaranteed access to charter aircraft in exchange for putting funds on deposit into a debit-card style account, with aircraft provided based on booking in a size category rather than by a specific aircraft model. Jet Cards became popular around 2002-2005 when fractional companies and jet charter brokerages began offering pre-pay debit accounts for per-hour private aircraft charters on specific aircraft models. Customers would pre-pay around $120,000 - $500,000 for a set number of flight hours on a particular aircraft model. Those hours may expire at a designated time or be available for partial refund. On Demand Charter is trip by trip, pay as you go charter. One of the earliest forms of private flying and still growing, the passenger selects a specific charter quote provided by a local aircraft operator or national broker and pays for that trip alone, either before or after the flight. Jet Membership, Jet Cards and On Demand Charter fall under more stringent FAA regulations Part-135 governing aircraft for hire with paying passengers.

Shared-Ride Private Jet Service is a new type of on-demand private charter which is sold by the seat and is operating in major markets along the Eastern US corridor. These services comingle passengers on private jets and access smaller local private airports in order to by-pass the major airports. The service is marketed as a quicker way to fly, with less hassle compared to the airlines. Seat prices can approach the affordability of full-fare airline prices. Some per-seat charter services like Greenjets sell themselves as "greener" and more responsible, as they are far less expensive than conventional private air charter and they can potentially reduce the number of jets in the air by placing multiple passengers on a single jet instead of them flying alone. The result can be fewer planes flying burning less fossil fuel and a reduced overall carbon footprint. Greenjets plans service to 30 major US markets by 2011.

Small helicopters with carrying capacity of 4-12 people have also become very popular. They cost far less than fixed winged aircraft and do not need an air strip to take off or land.

Developments

Some aviation professionals foresee the middle class traveling easily and with much less expense than is currently possible, using VLJs (very light jets) and other types of comparatively inexpensive aircraft. New technologies in engine design, airframe manufacturing methods, computer aided design and avionics as well as ATC upgrades, many say, will come together to drastically reduce cost while increasing efficiency, comfort and safety. These aircraft (such as the Eclipse 500) are said to be easier to fly and much cheaper to produce than current production jets. 5,400 small airports across the United States make point-to-point air travel on smaller jets quicker for travelers than the airline hub and spoke system. Next generation avionics and systems may also make these small airports accessible even in poor weather conditions.

RTI International, a nonprofit research organization, has developed a modeling and simulation tool which allows operators (or potential investors) the opportunity to craft a living business plan to gauge the potential of any prospective air taxi operation. Developed to answer questions about the economic and operational feasibility of the air-taxi market/business case during the SATS program, it has now been adopted in Europe and the US by a broad user base desiring to plan and optimize operations.

Skepticism of change

Despite the substantial investments by firms such as DayJet, other aviation professionals remain skeptical on whether we can expect this mode of travel to flourish due to the decreased cost of personal air travel. The primary obstacles being that aircraft utilization is the largest limiter in reducing costs of operation (fixed overhead) not necessarily advancements in technology.

The most notable evidence / example of this problem is the fact that direct operating costs of VLJs are not substantially lower than existing turbofan and turboprop technology that can carry larger loads, greater distances, and in some cases for a smaller initial investment.

DEADHEAD: ORIGINALLY A NOUN, NOW A VERB MEANING TO FLY THE RETURN LEG OF A TRIP WITHOUT CARGO OR PASSENGERS. ORIGINALLY COINED DURING THE INFANCY OF THE MAJOR AIRLINES, THE TERM WAS PEJORATIVELY APPLIED TO COMPANY EMPLOYEES OR SPOUSES, WHO WERE STRAPPED INTO OTHERWISE EMPTY SEATS TO GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF HIGH BUSINESS VOLUME.

DUTY TIME: THAT PORTION OF THE DAY WHEN A CREW MEMBER IS ON DUTY IN ANY CAPACITY (NOT JUST IN THE AIR). THIS CAN BE A CONSTRAINT ON LONG DAY-TRIPS, AS THERE ARE FAA-IMPOSED LIMITS ON THE AMOUNT OF TIME ALLOWED ON DUTY. MANY CHARTER OPERATORS HAVE STRICTER RULES, SO IT PAYS TO INQUIRE BEFORE PLANNING A TRIP TOO TIGHT TO THE LIMIT.

EMPTY LEG: ALSO KNOWN AS "ONE-WAY AVAILABILITY". SINCE CHARTER TRIPS TYPICALLY CHARGE FOR THE ROUND TRIP TRAVEL OF THE AIRCRAFT, EMPTY LEGS CAN OFTEN REPRESENT RELATIVE BARGAINS. THESE ARE USUALLY POSTED AS AVAILABLE FOR TRAVEL BETWEEN TWO AIRPORTS DURING A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD.
