Aircraft for Charter

Air Charter Definition: Generally there are four types of Aircraft Charter... Air Taxi, Ad Hoc, Frequent Membership and Full (Public) Charter.

1. Air Taxi, although not new, is now expanding with the advent of new generation Very Light Jets (VLJ's) coming to the market, such as the Eclipse 500, and new emerging start-up Air Taxi companies, offering "Per-Seat, On-Demand jet services", such as Florida based DayJet™. Air Taxi services are targeted more at the business road user rather than the established charter market, offering to get you between non-serviced airports, either by purchasing a single seat or charter the entire aircraft (typically 3-5 seats).
2. Ad hoc Air Charter refers to the renting of an entire aircraft by an individual, group, corporation etc. on an ad hoc basis that have specialised itineraries (i.e. one return flight), rather than purchasing individual aircraft seats or a more long term option - aircraft leasing.
3. Frequent Charter Membership is for those that have a higher occupancy demand and require aircraft on short notice. They also don't have the high outlay of a Fractional Ownership
4. Full (Public) Charter is the long term renting of an entire aircraft, usually undertaken by Tour Operators, that require aircraft on a seasonal basis but don't have the required infrastructure to operate their own aircraft.
