PRIVATE AVIATION EXPERTISE

Charter arranged by someone who's flown the mission.

Tell me where you need to be. I'll tell you what it actually takes to get there — and put you on the right aircraft with an operator I'd put my own family on.

How This Is Different

Most charter quotes are generated by someone reading availability off a screen. They'll sell you the cheapest tail that technically fits the route.

That's how you end up on a Part 135 operator with a thin safety record, in an aircraft that can't make your leg without a fuel stop, with a crew timing out on the return.

I book a charter the way I'd flight-plan it, because that's the job I do the rest of the week.

What I Handle

Mission analysis.

Runway length at both ends. Hot-and-high performance. Realistic payload with your actual passenger count and bags. Whether the airplane makes it nonstop or you're planning a fuel stop nobody mentioned in the quote. On international trips: customs, overflight and landing permits, handling, and crew duty limits on the return.

Operator vetting.

Certificate status, safety audit ratings, insurance limits, and fleet condition. I look at the specific tail number and the specific crew — not just the company logo.

Straight pricing.

Quotes with the full picture: occupied hourly, repositioning, overnights, landing and handling fees, catering, de-ice, and taxes. No line items that appear after you've committed.

The details that make a trip.

Ground transportation, FBO selection, catering, pets, and the odd requests. If it can be arranged, it will be.

Empty Legs

When an aircraft is repositioning without passengers, that flight is being flown regardless — and it can move at a fraction of the standard rate.

The catch is that empty legs are unpredictable and short-notice by definition. If your schedule has flexibility, get on the list and I'll send opportunities as they surface.
