    5.

Flight Changes and Delays

  • AirCharter.com and/or the actual carrier shall endeavor to the best of their ability to ensure punctual carriage of Passengers and baggage. However, the announced flight times and/or airports are subject to reasonable changes owing to operational and technical circumstances beyond AirCharter.com’s and/or the actual carrier’s control (for example, cancellation of a landing permit). In the event of a change to an airport, AirCharter.com may select at its discretion a reasonable alternative airport for the Flight Services.
  • The Client is responsible for ensuring that Passengers arrive adequately in advance of the scheduled departure time. AirCharter.com and/or the actual carrier’s ability to satisfy any variation in the Flight Services shall always be subject to crew duty times and rest periods and the availability of additional crew.
  • Client may request a departure delay beyond any confirmed departure time. AirCharter.com shall agree to such delay if it (a) is compatible with crew duty time restrictions, applicable aviation regulations and air traffic control requirements and (b) does not impact on other clients of AirCharter.com or an affiliate (either as determined by AirCharter.com at its sole discretion). If Client delays a flight beyond the agreed departure time for any reason that is not the fault of AirCharter.com, the Flight Services shall be deemed to be cancelled by Client.
  • Substitutions
  • AirCharter.com reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to provide Client with an equivalent or superior aircraft owned, operated or managed by AirCharter.com or an affiliate thereof (“Substitution Aircraft”).
  • In the event AirCharter.com determines that a Substitution Aircraft is not available to provide the Flight Services, AirCharter.com shall advise Client without delay and provide a revised quotation, which may include revised pricing, to arrange an alternative aircraft (“Alternative Aircraft” that is not a Substitution Aircraft. If Client agrees to (or is deemed to agree to – see below) the Alternative Aircraft, Client shall be liable for the fees and charges set forth in the original booking confirmation plus any excess fees and charges agreed to for the Alternative Aircraft.
  • Client will have the opportunity to terminate this Agreement if (i) a Substitution Aircraft is required to provide the Flight Services and AirCharter.com determines Client must pay additional costs for such Substitution Aircraft, or (ii) an Alternative Aircraft is required to provide the Flight Services, provided, however, Client must provide written notice of termination to AirCharter.com no later than (i) five (5) hours following notification, or (ii) at a later deadline if provided by AirCharter.com at its sole discretion. Failure to provide notice in the allotted time shall be deemed affirmative consent, including to associated cost.
  • For the avoidance of doubt, if an Alternative or Substitution Aircraft is required while en-route during a multi-leg Flight Service, any written termination pursuant to Section 7.3 above shall apply prospectively for all impacted legs only. All prior legs shall be governed by the original Booking Confirmation. Consequently, AirCharter.com shall refund Client a pro rata proportion of the Price relating to those legs remaining as at the time of termination.

 

Cancellation

Cancellation Fees: If after issuance of the Charter Flight Confirmation (i) a flight is cancelled by the Customer or the Passengers, (ii) the Customer requests a schedule change which AirCharter.com cannot accommodate, or (iii) AirCharter.com is prevented from performing the flight due to any act or omission of the Customer or any Passenger, then the flight shall be deemed cancelled by the Customer and unless otherwise stated in the Charter Flight Quotation, the following cancellation fee (expressed below as a percentage of the total price of the Contract) will be paid by the Customer, or retained by AirCharter.com from the amount already paid by the Customer, as the case may be: If the Client wishes to cancel any Flight or Flights subject to this Agreement, the following rates will be paid forthwith by the Client to the Intermediary as agreed compensation: 25% of the Agreed Price if cancelled after contract exchange; 50% of the Agreed Price if cancelled within 72 hours prior to Scheduled time of Departure (“STD”); 75% of the Agreed Price if cancelled 48 hours prior to STD; 100% of the Agreed Price if cancelled within 12 hours of STD.

  3. AirCharter.com and/or the actual carrier reserves the right to cancel, without liability for loss, injury, damage or delay, Flight Services under the Terms, including where AirCharter.com, in its sole discretion, deems such cancellation necessary as a result of the Client and/or any Passenger not complying, or being unable to comply, with any of the requirements in Section 2 or Section 3 of the GTCCs.

the Cancellation Fees set out on the relevant quotation or Confirmation shall each be applicable and payable by Client,

In the event of (i) a Force Majeure Event as defined in Section 4.1 of the GTCCs or (ii) AirCharter.com and/or the actual carrier cannot, at their sole and final discretion, confirm operational feasibility of a flight, AirCharter.com reserves the right to cancel this Confirmation without prejudice or cost, and shall promptly refund to Client all amounts paid by Client pursuant to these Terms. 30-day refund: “In the event of a duly authorized cancellation under this Agreement AirCharter.com shall commence the refund process within thirty (30) working days following the receipt of a valid cancellation notification.

  3. AirCharter.com will not be liable to the Client for any loss or expense incurred by the Client or any Passenger in the event of cancellation due to their failure to comply with the provisions set out or referred to in these Terms.
