What’s a charter flight?

Definition of a charter flight

We call a charter flight a commercial flight organised outside the regular scheduled routes. This ad-hoc flight makes it possible to connect destinations directly at the desired times (depending on slot availability). This flight is organised under the public transport regime and has the same safety requirements as regular airline flights.

The entire aircraft is privatised for the group.

This is one of the main questions that people ask when they talk about chartering or hiring aircraft. It is important to keep in mind that the price of a private jet/aircraft rental depends on several parameters: desired itinerary, type of aircraft, geographical position of the aircraft, state of the market, …
