How to Organize a Group Charter Flight in Mexico
Published January 7, 2026 · 5 min read
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.
