What is private jet charter?
Chartering a private jet means hiring an exclusive aircraft for a tailor-made flight, different from traditional commercial flights. While commercial flights follow fixed schedules and predefined routes, charter offers total flexibility to the passenger in relation to their preferences. Furthermore, it is important to understand that there are differences between private flights on demand and those offered by travel agencies with fixed packages. The first offers more control, customization and privacy.
Is it safe to charter a jet?
Yes, as long as the charter is carried out with companies approved by ANAC. It is essential to check that the aircraft operator has all required licenses, valid insurance and a safety record. Illegal flights, often offered at prices well below market prices, can put passengers’ lives at risk. Therefore, always require the operator’s CNPJ, the aircraft’s registration number and confirm that the flight is being carried out under air taxi authorization.
How to charter a jet step by step
Aircraft search: Use a specialized platform like Flapper to search for aircraft by type, route, number of passengers and amenities.
Quote: Enter the origin, destination, date, time and number of passengers to receive an estimated route price in real time on the Flapper platform.
Contract and payment: After choosing the aircraft, you will receive a digital contract with all the flight information. Payment can be made by bank transfer, pix and even by card.
Before the flight: Flapper’s service ensures that all details are ready, such as documents, logistics in the VIP lounge or FBO (executive terminal), crew information, among others.
When is it worth chartering a jet?
Chartering a jet becomes especially advantageous in situations such as commitments in multiple cities on the same day, traveling to destinations without direct commercial flights or to guarantee total privacy. Furthermore, the cost-benefit can be higher than business class flights, especially when the group of passengers is larger. The time saved in queues, connections and delays also contributes to a more efficient and productive experience.
