From the ops desk

The things people ask us before they ask for a quote.

The same questions come up on nearly every first call. Operators ask how long the permits take and who meets the aircraft. Charter clients ask what the flight will cost. These are the answers, written out once so we can send a link instead of repeating them.

For operators and dispatchers

Overflight permit lead times

Ten jurisdictions compared in one table, ordered by which permit to start first.

FBO vs ground handler

A place versus a job. What each vendor category actually sells, and which one your trip needs.

For charter clients

Private jet charter cost

Hourly rates by jet size, and how they turn into the price of a real trip.

What's in a charter quote

Every line on a quote after the hourly rate, and what each one pays for.

Empty leg flights

Why a jet flies empty, how much less the flight costs, and what you give up for it.

The operator guides are written from what we file and what we run, not from a competitor’s version of it. The charter guides work from published market rates and say when, because charter prices move. If a question you have is not answered, the ops desk is on the phone rather than behind a form.
