How to Organize a Group Charter Flight in Mexico

Whether it's a corporate retreat, bachelor party, family reunion, or a group of friends heading to Los Cabos, organizing a group charter flight is easier than you think — and often more affordable per person than you'd expect.

Step 1: Define Your Group Size & Route

Start with the basics: how many people, from where, to where, and when. This determines everything else. A group of 6 friends going from Monterrey to Cancún has very different needs than a corporate team of 14 flying Mexico City to Guadalajara.

Step 2: Choose the Right Aircraft

Aircraft selection depends on passenger count and route distance:

  • 4–7 passengers: A light jet like the Learjet 35A or Phenom 300.
  • 8–9 passengers: A mid-size jet like the Hawker 800XP.
  • 10–16 passengers: A heavy jet like the Challenger 604.
  • 16+ passengers: Consider a turboprop or even two aircraft flying together.

Step 3: Split the Cost

Here's where group charters get interesting. A light jet from Mexico City to Cancún costs approximately $13,000 USD total. Split among 6 passengers, that's about $2,167 per person — comparable to a business class ticket, but with zero lines, zero delays, and a completely private experience.

For larger groups on a heavy jet, the per-person cost can drop even further. We provide clear, all-inclusive quotes so everyone knows exactly what they're paying.

Step 4: Coordinate Logistics

A few things to organize with your group:

  • Passenger manifest: Full names and IDs for everyone (required by aviation authorities).
  • Luggage coordination: Light jets have limited baggage space — communicate limits early.
  • Arrival time: Everyone should arrive at the FBO 15–20 minutes before departure.
  • Catering: Want food and drinks on board? Let us know in advance.
  • Ground transport: Arrange pickup vehicles at the destination.

Step 5: Book & Confirm

Once you've collected passenger details and confirmed the date, booking takes just a few hours. At VolarJets, we handle:

  • Aircraft selection and availability check

  • Ground transportation
