Fly Beyond First Class

Departure from a private terminal rather than a passenger one is where most of the time saving comes from: arrival to airborne is usually under 15 minutes, with no queues, no gate and no connection to miss. You fly on your schedule, from the airfield nearest to you, with only the people you choose on board.

Why Clients Choose Us

• Uncompromising safety. Every operator checked before you fly - current Air Operator Certificate for the class of flight, insurance appropriate to the route and passenger count, and crew currency against the schedule.
• Complete confidentiality. Passenger manifests, itineraries and flight details stay between you and our operations team.
• Rapid response. A charter desk staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with most enquiries answered with specific aircraft and all-in pricing inside the hour.
• 15+ years of expertise. An independent broker: we own no aircraft, so the one we put in front of you is chosen for your route and passenger count rather than because it is ours.

Aircraft Categories

Turboprops for short domestic legs, light jets for the UK and short-haul Europe, midsize for all of Europe non-stop, super-midsize for transatlantic on favourable routings, heavy jets for the Gulf and the US East Coast, and ultra-long-range aircraft non-stop to Asia or the US West Coast. Charter is priced per aircraft per flight hour rather than per seat, so four passengers and eight cost broadly the same.

Popular Routes

We fly most often from London Biggin Hill, Farnborough, Luton and Stansted, and from Bournemouth, Manchester, Leeds Bradford and Edinburgh. The busiest European corridors are Nice, Geneva, Paris Le Bourget, Ibiza, Milan Linate, Zurich, Mallorca and Mykonos, typically one to three hours from the UK. Long-haul, we charter regularly to Dubai, New York, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok and the Maldives.

Prestige Event Travel

The Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Yacht Show, Paris Fashion Week, St Moritz White Turf and the World Economic Forum at Davos. Event weeks are the tightest weeks of the aviation calendar: aircraft parking, not aircraft availability, is usually the binding constraint, and both are secured together.
