What Is a Charter Flight?

A charter flight is a private aviation service where you hire an aircraft exclusively. Unlike commercial flights where you buy a seat, on a charter flight you rent the entire plane. You decide the departure time, route, origin and destination airports, and who travels with you.

It's the most flexible, private, and comfortable way to fly. Whether for business, family vacations, special events, or medical emergencies, a charter flight adapts entirely to your needs.
