Why use a commercial jet broker over a commercial jet operator?

Let us take the pilot’s seat

We have a comprehensive knowledge of the aviation industry. When engaging an existing airline directly, you may only approach a handful of operators; while these operators will almost certainly be able to get you from A to B, it is our depth of industry knowledge and breadth of contacts which will ensure that the operator, and the aircraft, are both fit for your purpose. We have existing relationships with an almost-inexhaustible list of operators the world over; we know the way they work, and they know our processes in turn.

We understand that each and every one of our clients, whether professional or membership organisations, or, indeed, travel companies who broker with us has different needs – we work diligently to secure the best deal for you in terms of value-for-money and type of charter. When considering chartering a flight, by only approaching airlines you are already familiar with, you are excluding a large section of the industry and potentially precluding yourself from getting the best deal available. Surprisingly, just because the airline operates from your home country, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be cheapest – it is sometimes cheaper to position a foreign aircraft in the UK, and subsequently fly out. We have access to a pool of airlines, and a wealth of insider knowledge – for example, newly-incorporated operators often have a small gap between obtaining the aircrafts and getting licences for their regular flight schedules; by keeping on top of global aviation news, we are in the best position to broker a favourable deal for your charter.

Fine-tuned and tailor-made

When using a broker rather than booking directly with an operator, each charter is tailored exactly to your specifications. As our client, you benefit from extra layers of protection – we work within, and completely understand the aviation sector, ensuring we pay specific attention to the financial health of airlines, as the markets can be volatile. A myriad of extra assurances and protections are added to your journey as a result of our specific terms and conditions – including sourcing a replacement aircraft up to the value of the contract in the case of issues with the aircraft. Over the last 30 years, we have garnered both the experience and the contacts required to ensure that all paperwork is in place for each charter. We understand the industry and its laws and restrictions; by choosing us, you find your charter in a safe pair of hands.

We deal directly with ground staff, handlers, and caterers, giving the opportunity for customisation in all aspects of your trip – from the food we serve to on-board swag. Our Flight Enhancements Team work tirelessly to melt any travel-induced stress and ensure that every part of the charter is in line with your taste the minutiae. With over three decades of experience, and an ever-growing list of industry contacts, we ensure that you secure the best possible value – in both expenditure and experience.
