How On-Demand Jet
Charter Works
Charter Works
Most people new to on-demand private jet travel have little knowledge of how it works. In fact, many first-time clients at evoJets have questions in some very important areas.
Who owns the planes?
There are thousands of aircraft certified for retail private jet charter in the United States.
- These planes are owned by private individuals, companies for corporate travel or aircraft management companies that charter planes for profit.
- To make a plane available for charter, an owner must register for the appropriate air carrier certificate. For retail charter, the certification is FAA Part 135.
- Once certified, an owner can place an aircraft on the charter market, available for consumers to rent.
How are planes paired with trips?
On-demand jet charter providers use a variety of methods in sourcing aircraft for clients.
Our cost calculator is the most effective and accurate tool available on the charter market, providing accurate estimates based on historical rates and standard availability.
- The average first-time client may find it difficult to rent a private jet for a single trip. The industry is fragmented, with many companies operating aircraft.
- The role of a private jet broker is to provide the best aircraft for a given trip, in an evolving and fragmented marketplace. Experience and relationships are incredibly important.
- Brokers rely on relationships with owners in various markets, as well as industry tools to locate, evaluate and offer safe, cost-conscious aircraft for clients.
