Charter is the convenience of not having to depend on the airline schedules. Charter is saving time and, often, money on your business trips. Charter is having complete control over your travel environment – you can land or leave wherever and whenever you’d like!

Charter is only smarter under certain circumstances. The airlines are very competitive when it comes to carrying a lot of people, for long distances, to a limited number of destinations, and when time is not critical. So, traveling between two very distant, major cities, like Los Angeles and New York, or traveling overseas makes sense on the airlines.

But there are times when Charter makes a lot more sense. For example, when you have several places to go — but very little time; or, if there is more than one person going; or, if your destination is not a major hub; or, when the airline schedules just don’t fit your business schedule.

Before you can compare the costs of airline travel to Charter, consider the time and money you will save on overnight expenses – motels, meals, car rental and wages — and factor in the inconveniences you will face with the scheduled air carriers. Many times it is smarter to Charter.

Yes. For years, aviation has proven to be safer than driving your car. Our pilots must maintain standards set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and are checked a minimum of every six months. Plus, they are sent to simulator training to maintain a superior level of proficiency. This helps to maintain aviation as one of the safest forms of transportation.

Every charter operator must have a certificate from the FAA ensuring that the operation meets or exceeds the agency’s standards for aircraft maintenance, management control and keeping track of its crews’ training, flight time, and health. Also, ask for verification of the type and limits of insurance coverage carried by the operator. Executive Air Transport’s certificate number is ECJA4630.

The pilot(s) must hold either a Commercial Pilot Certificate or an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA, just as the major airline pilots do. Every six months he or she undergoes a mandatory proficiency check ride with an FAA inspector or designated examiner, who also verifies the pilot’s knowledge of specified routes and the aircraft being flown — just like the airlines.
