Questions

Private flight questions, answered

What does Charter-A arrange?
Private jet hire, helicopter charter and air taxi flights, worldwide. We choose from jets, helicopters and turboprops to suit your trip, whether it is business travel, a VIP transfer, an event or a leisure getaway.
How quickly can I fly?
Same-day departures are available. Our desk is open 24 hours a day, so call on +44 20 7781 8094 for an urgent flight, or send a request online and a charter specialist will reply as quickly as possible.
What does a quote include?
A fully inclusive price for the whole aircraft, built from the real costs of your flight: crew, positioning, flying time and airport fees. There are no extras added afterwards.
Can I take my pet?
Yes. Dogs and cats can fly in the cabin with you. Tell us when you enquire and we will plan it, including the paperwork your route needs.
What is the difference between a private jet, an air taxi and a helicopter?
A private jet suits longer routes and larger parties. An air taxi is a short-hop service for small groups, using regional airfields. A helicopter lifts off from places jets cannot, such as a heliport or a private site close to where you are going, and is ideal for transfers and events.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing. We check the forecast with you and tell you early if a flight needs to move.
