Our Views On Safety   Air charter operators meet very stringent safety requirements set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration and other regulatory authorities worldwide. As a result, air charter is one of the safest forms of transportation available today. In fact, statistics indicate that it is safer to travel in a chartered aircraft than by automobile (Department of Transportation's Transportation Safety Information Report). Please refer to the information below for details describing the requirements and processes necessary to become a certified air charter operator. The following general guidance information has been prepared by the National Air Transportation Association as a Member service. FAA Certification Pursuant to the US Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), if an entity is going to hold itself out to the public offering on-demand air charter or air taxi service, that entity must be licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration as an Air Carrier and meet the stringent operational, maintenance, and safety rules required thereof (foreign government bodies have very similar requirements to those of the US FAA). In addition, the operator must have been found fit, willing, and able to perform as an Air Carrier by the Department of Transportation (formerly by the Civil Aeronautics Board), and must hold an economic certificate of exemption. In order for an operator to be issued an Air Carrier Operation Certificate, the operator must develop and publish for use by its flight and ground personnel, an Operators Manual which addresses the requirements of the FARs. In addition, the operator must develop and have approved by the FAA an in-depth, comprehensive flight crew and cabin attendant training program. Both of these documents must be accepted and approved respectively by the FAA. Once this process is completed,

Charter flights to Hawaii   Now that summer traffic has almost dissipated entirely, it’s time to find charter flights to Hawaii. Now keep in mind, many other tropical locations would probably offer a cost benefit over flying private to Hawaii. Cancun is a much closer flight for anyone on the east coast, but Hawaii has its own charm. Maui, one of the most beloved of all the Hawaiian Islands, lives up to its superlatives with exotic beaches (like Kaihalulu), palatial resorts (like the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea) and lush terrain (as seen in the Iao Valley State Park). Now the question on everyones minds is price, Hawaii won’t be cheap, here’s some comparison for private travel fees from the Northeastern/Southeastern US to Hawaii and Cancun. The following are estimates for 6 passengers, one way flight. New york -> Cancun - $16,437.00 (mid Jet) New York -> Hawaii - $56,497.00 (Mid Jet) California -> Cancun - $30,627.00 (Mid Jet) California-> Hawaii - $37,800.00 (Mid Jet)   Flights to Hawaii will have to almost always be flown in a large (heavy) jet if one does not want a fuel stop, most capable of seating 12-18 people, so for a larger group (14+) the price per passenger drops dramatically. Both available airports are in Maui, and our preference is always to land at a business/executive airport, in this case Kapalua Airport. Kahului Airport (IATA: OGG, ICAO: PHOG) is a regional airport in the State of Hawaii, located 3 miles (5 km) east of Kahului, Hawaii on the island of Maui near Haleakala. The Honolulu-Kahului corridor is one of the busiest air routes in the USA, ranking 13th with 1,632,000 passengers. Kapalua Airport (IATA: JHM, ICAO: PHJH), also called Kapalua West Maui Airport, is a regional airport

What is Private Jet Charter? Many have asked, what is private jet charter? What does air charter entail? Air charter is easy enough to explain; Air charter or private jet 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 cargo, air ambulance and any other form of ad hoc air transportation. These air charter companies offer a large variety of aircraft, such as helicopters and business jets. Charter jet categories include turbo props, light jets, mid-size jets, super mid size jets, heavy jets, and airliners. Now that we know that chartering means renting the entire aircraft, we can go through what is included in charter. Lots of confusion can arise about what is included in charter. Upon booking a private jet, you will have the jet for the entire duration of your trip. This means air time of course, if you fly to Cancun for a month, it is very unlikely that the jet will wait at the airport for the entire month. But it will be available to you at the requested time of return. FBO services are included, FBOs are essentially privately owned terminals, made to cater to VIP clientele. FBO services Two pilots are always included for every trip, no matter how small, even a short distance 1 passenger trip will have two wyvern/argus approved pilots. All fuel fees are included in your price, along with onboard catering. Catering for very short trips will have snacks and beverages, but offers meals for longer trips. All
