In industry lingo this is called on-demand. The next option is some sort of jet card or membership program. It\u2019s another form of charter. In the U.S. alone, there are more than 60 providers with policies and benefits varying widely. In fact, I\u2019ve identified over 65 variables that can impact which program is right for you.

For 10 to 100 hours, look at jet cards and memberships. From 50 to 400 hours, fractional shares or lease might be right, and over 200 hours per year, full aircraft ownership is a realistic consideration.

While you may find a single provider that meets all your needs, think of your private aviation solutions likes cars in your driveway.<\/p>\n<p>You may need more a couple different types. Chances are you aren\u2019t going to drive the Rolls Royce to the mountain house in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s review the options, and how they might fit for you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>On-demand Charter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is by far the place most people start, and even here you have choices. You can book your flight with AirCharter.com, which will assign it to the lowest biddine Operator the company that will be flying you, AirCharter.com is an intermediary who reviews options from a variety of operators, and then presents you with those best fitting the needs you articulated. And the safets way to travel is <em><strong>Private Jets In A World With COVID-19.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Think of it like going to Prague for the first time. You could spend hours reading reviews of different hotels, and then book direct, or you can get a good travel advisor such as AirCharter.com who takes the time to figure out what you want, and then matches you to a hotel that best meets your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Not to get too far in the weeds, but since you will find out anyway, who owns the airplanes you charter varies. In some cases the operator owns or leases the aircraft. In others, they serve as a management company for owners who rent out their private jets when they aren\u2019t using them.<\/p>\n<p>The latter is important, because when receive quotes back, payment, cancelation and usage terms can vary, even if two are from the same operator. That\u2019s because two individual owners may have different stipulations in their contracts with the same management company.<\/p>\n<p>With on-demand charter you book trip by trip, and AirCharter.com prices out each trip per your request, so you don\u2019t have to worry about long-term commitments. In Fact its cheaper than a Jet Card Programs or <span class=\"plus\" data-ga-track=\"caption expand\">Fractional ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Still, for novices, it can be confusing. Why do two Bombardier Challenger 350s, each with eight seats, each manufactured in 2015, have different charter prices?<\/p>\n<p>It could be the rates the owners want based on their cost structures. One may have three full-time pilots to rotate through vacations and sick days, while another uses contract pilots. All charter operators have to meet government requirements articulated in the FAA\u2019s\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2019\/09\/03\/part-135-private-jet-charter-rental-what-you-need-to-know\/\" href=\"https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2019\/09\/03\/part-135-private-jet-charter-rental-what-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2019\/09\/03\/part-135-private-jet-charter-rental-what-you-need-to-know\/\" aria-label=\"14 CFR Part 135 rules\">14 CFR Part 135 rules<\/a>, however, some have more rigorous standards.<\/p>\n<p>Argus, Wyvern, and IS-BAO each provide third party safety ratings awarding different levels of achievement, however, not all include on-site audits. While they provide directional insight, a good broker knows the reputation of the operators. From experience, a good broker stays away from operators that cancel flights at the last minute, those with high turnover or other warning signs.<\/p>\n<p><small class=\"link-embed__byline\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/douggollan\/2020\/02\/15\/senators-sanders-and-warren-endorse-the-benefits-of-private-jets\/\"><\/small>Industry lore is that most people call several brokers to request quotes, with AirCharter.com we do the shopping for you to get you the lowest prices while giving you the best Aircraft with the highest safety ratings, so if you go the on-demand charter route, you will probably spend several hours not only soliciting quotes, but then reviewing the terms and conditions of each. Once you find a broker like AirCharter.com who knows what you want and is able to deliver, you\u2019ve hit the jackpot.Friends who charter regularly are a good sounding board, as most folks who charter have had gone through a few brokers and operators before finding the ones they count on.\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.argus.aero\/aviation-due-diligence\/certified-broker\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.argus.aero\/aviation-due-diligence\/certified-broker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.argus.aero\/aviation-due-diligence\/certified-broker\/\" aria-label=\"Argus\">Argus<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/app.wyvern.systems\/public\/directory\/broker\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wyvern.systems\/public\/directory\/broker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/app.wyvern.systems\/public\/directory\/broker\" aria-label=\"Wyvern\">Wyvern<\/a>\u00a0both certify brokers and the lists are a good starting point.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Downsides of On-Demand Charter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Downsides of on-demand charter include that each brokerage or operator prices trips differently, so you might see two brokers or a broker and operator offering the same jet for the same trip at different prices. AirCharter.com works on very small margins and are willing to share the Operator Name and Tail name using our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aircharter.com\/credits\/\"> Tail Credits<\/a> Program that cost as little as $4.00 per Tail.<\/p>\n<p>You may also get quotes for your trip that include empty legs. These are repositioning flights to get an aircraft where it needs to be for a revenue flight or back to base. If the person paying for the full-priced flight changes plans, your empty leg can be canceled on short notice. If you see prices that are markedly lower than most quotes, make sure to ask if they are these ferry flights. With limited airline options, or if you are flying from an airport without airline service, you\u2019ve been warned.<\/p>\n<p>That brings me to the other consideration with on-demand charter. For the most part, if your flight is canceled because of a mechanical or the pilot is sick or can\u2019t get there, you are on your own so to speak.While the operator or broker will likely help you find a replacement, you are responsible for any extra cost unless it is otherwise stipulated. It may meaning paying the new provider while waiting for a refund from the one that couldn\u2019t provide service. Wiring $30,000 on the spot might not be easy.<\/p>\n<p>Additional services such as catering and deicing is a la carte. There may also be extra charges for using WiFi. Not all aircraft accept pets and some have restrictions on oversize luggage, so make sure you provide the broker or operator with all relevant information at the time of booking. Don\u2019t just show up and assume you it won\u2019t be a problem to bring along your eight French Poodles.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Players<\/h3>\n<p>AirCharter.com has invented the first booking engine for the Private Jets In A World With COVID-19 industry back in 2000 and has been at this since 1993. There are more than a thousand and 573 Argus <a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2020\/03\/04\/argus-reveals-top-part-135-private-jet-charter-operators-for-2019\/\" href=\"https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2020\/03\/04\/argus-reveals-top-part-135-private-jet-charter-operators-for-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/privatejetcardcomparisons.com\/2020\/03\/04\/argus-reveals-top-part-135-private-jet-charter-operators-for-2019\/\" aria-label=\"Part 135 charter operators\">Part 135 charter operators<\/a> in the U.S. with at least one business jet available for charter, although some work mainly through brokers. Over 70% have five or fewer jets in their fleet. While some or the larger players have floating fleets, an operator at your local airport might make sense, so size doesn\u2019t necessarily matter, particularly if you do a lot of same-day returns. AirCharter.com has over 1933 Operators Worldwide that we work with and over 13,400 aircraft in our database to best serve our customers.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike AirCharter.com that invested over $50 Million in our booking and Charter Management, Air charter brokers aren\u2019t regulated or licensed. All you need is a laptop, WiFi connection, slick website, and subscription to some of the databases that show availability of aircraft from various operators. Before you buy, make sure you know who the owner is. Google to see if there is a history of complaints or lawsuits. Whereas with AirCharter.com you can see the operator name and aircraft tail number before requesting your trip.<\/p>\n<h2>Jet Cards and Private Jet Memberships<\/h2>\n<p>Jet cards and private jet memberships are a form of charter, so you have the same choice between operators and brokers. In fact, some programs are a mix, and during peak periods, many operator programs go off-fleet to meet extra demand. The good news is you will typically get an upgrade to a larger jet to soften the blow.<\/p>\n<p>Many jet cards give you benefits of full or fractional ownership, namely guaranteed access, fixed pricing, and consistent standards of aircraft, sans the long-term commitment.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy blocks of time starting at $25,000 or 10 hours of flight time. If you need more, you buy more. If you don\u2019t, you\u2019re not stuck with a bunch of expensive metal.<\/p>\n<p><small class=\"link-embed__byline\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/douggollan\/2019\/08\/22\/private-jet-travel-is-greener-than-you-think\/\"><\/small>Typical jet cards users spend $75,000 to $500,000 per year on fights. However, some companies spend millions. They either don\u2019t want to have jet ownership listed in their public financial reports or simply want an easy out if their needs change suddenly.<\/p>\n<p>Jet cards and private jet memberships have changed quite a bit, so today\u2019s programs have more variables, meaning you really need to do your homework before choosing.<\/p>\n<p>Some use dynamic pricing, so similar to on-demand charter, except they typically offer service recovery guarantees, sourcing standards and other perks.<\/p>\n<p>Six-figure deposits are no longer a necessity. Pay-as-you-go programs charge you an annual membership, then you are billed on a flight-by-flight basis. You can even use a credit card on file so you don\u2019t have to worry about transferring funds for each trip. Don\u2019t forget to amortize the cost of the membership across your anticipated flight hours to understand your true cost.<\/p>\n<p>I believe the two strongest benefits of card programs are the combination of guaranteed availability and fixed one-way rates.<\/p>\n<p>Guaranteed availability means that if you book outside the deadline, typically between eight and 48 hours on non-peak days, you are guaranteed an aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>Combining it with fixed one-way rates means you know how much you will pay in advance, and your hourly charge is based only on the flight hours where you are onboard. You don\u2019t pay for the empty repositioning flights.<\/p>\n<p>Many programs offer efficiency discounts for qualifying roundtrips, typically two billable flight hours per day. For example, if you made a three hour flight from your base to somewhere on Friday and came home Sunday, your six flight hours of flying time divided over the three days you were away would earn you the discount. Roundtrip discounts from the more than 250 programs I\u2019ve analyzed range from zero to 40%. In other words, the fine print can save &#8211; or cost you tens of thousands of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>Other perks of card programs can include being able to upgrade or downgrade size of the aircraft based on need, again at fixed rates with guaranteed availability, or having multiple aircraft at the same time. In other words, for $100,000, you can have your own flight department on call. In fact, many aircraft owners use jet cards when their birds are in the shop or if they need a different type for specific missions.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike on-demand charter, jet cards usually have service recovery guarantees. You won\u2019t have to pay extra for replacement aircraft, and you might even get credits based on length of delay. Since they vary, another reason the fine print matters.<\/p>\n<p>Once you find the right program and know the rules and policies &#8211; something you should spend the time to compare before you buy &#8211; you can book in seconds, often online, by calling, or even text message.<\/p>\n<p>Some card programs include deicing, gourmet catering or catering credits, free WiFi and other perks like discounts and special offers with luxury partners.<\/p>\n<h3>Downsides of Jet Cards and Memberships<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on where and when you are flying, you might beat your program rates with on-demand charter. Then again, when you buy a jet card, you aren\u2019t getting married. If there are trips you feel you can do better from the open market, there\u2019s nothing stopping you from getting broker quotes, and then choosing the best option for that journey.<\/p>\n<p><small class=\"link-embed__byline\" data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/douggollan\/2018\/04\/08\/what-you-need-to-know-before-buying-a-jet-card\/\"><\/small>Most programs have peak days, and often it\u2019s like two separate programs. Lead time for bookings can stretch to 14 days in advance, and in some cases you can\u2019t cancel without penalty after you make your reservation. Surcharges can range up to 40%, and I\u2019ve seen cards with over 100 peak days per year. At the same time, there are others that don\u2019t have surcharges or even peak days, and where booking windows are only 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Just like airlines, private aviation companies &#8211;\u00a0brokers\u00a0and\u00a0operators\u00a0&#8211; go bust. Take the time to figure out who is behind that website. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is still trying recover $200,000 from\u00a0a company that closed down. I recommend if you have any questions, use programs that offer escrow accounts.<\/p>\n<h2>Full Aircraft Ownership<\/h2>\n<p>As big wealth is achieved at a younger age, there has been an influx of first time owners. In other words, today\u2019s new private jet owner might have been sleeping on a couch in their dorm less than a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>While you can enter into charter and jet card contracts using your own lawyer, when it comes to fractional and full ownership, it is strongly advised to have professional advice. As good as your corporate counsel is, he or she probably isn\u2019t an expert on the minutia of business aviation law.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first questions is to think about new versus used. You will also want to interview management companies, unless you plan to set up your own flight department.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of being repetitive here, I suggest reading\u00a0\u201c40 Steps You Need To Know Before Buying A Private Jet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are many advantages to owning your own jet. You fly under the less restrictive Part 91 rules. That means access to more airports which meet OEM specifications, but fractional and charter operators won\u2019t serve. You also can design the interior to suit your tastes, including seating layouts. You can smoke a cigar or let your pet ferrets roam freely in the cabin.<\/p>\n<p>When you own an aircraft, get ready for all sorts of bills. Most owners also buy jet cards or charter when their planes are down for maintenance. And, if your needs change, you might find your current aircraft no longer is a fit. On the other side, are possible tax benefits. You can also offer your jet for charter when you are not using it to reduce overall expenses.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/iada.aero\/about\" href=\"https:\/\/iada.aero\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/iada.aero\/about\" aria-label=\"IADA, the International Aircraft Dealers Association\">IADA, the International Aircraft Dealers Association<\/a>, includes just 3% of dealers that collectively account for 60% of all pre-owned transactions globally. Each must go through an accreditation process every three years.<\/p>\n<h2>Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>If you can afford to buy a jet, or even drop 20,000 bucks on a charter, you are smart enough to have figured out how to earn more money than most people. The biggest mistake newbies make is not dedicating the time up front to figure out the solutions that are best for them. The other mistake is not engaging professionals to assist them. AirCharter.com has invented the first booking engine for the Private Jets In A World With COVID-19 industry back in 2000 and has been at this since 1993.<\/p>\n<p>One thing I can assure you is once you start flying privately, you\u2019ll understand its value and wonder why you waited so long. I like to say, flying privately won\u2019t add years to your life, but it will add years of enjoyment to your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"right-rail\">\n<div class=\"video-placeholder\">\n<div class=\"video-player\">\n<div id=\"brightcove_perform_0\" class=\"video-js brightcove_perform playable-rectangle vjs-paused vjs-controls-enabled vjs-workinghover vjs-v7 vjs-user-active vjs-layout-small bc-player-S1EBSbDn_default bc-player-S1EBSbDn_default-index-0 vjs-mouse vjs-plugins-ready vjs-contextmenu vjs-contextmenu-ui vjs-player-info vjs-errors wtat-wtatPlayer vjs-ima3-not-playing-yet vjs-ima3-html5 vjs-ad-controls not-hover\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"region\" data-player=\"S1EBSbDn\" data-embed=\"default\" data-account=\"2097119709001\" aria-label=\"Video Player\" data-video-id=\"6143482696001\">By Forbes Doug Gollan<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The safest way to travel today is Private Jets In A World With COVID-19.
