See what flights cost
We don’t own any jets. That’s the point.
Owning a fleet means selling you whatever is parked closest. We work the other way round: we look at your trip, then pick the aircraft and the operator from about 400 we have inspected ourselves. We turn down roughly one in four.
Most of our clients never fill in a form. They message the desk, someone who already knows that they take the aisle seat, that the dog travels too and that the car should be a van because of the skis, and the rest happens quietly.

Clients
What clients tell the desk
We moved a board meeting from Zurich to Riyadh with nine hours’ notice. Every director landed with the papers printed and the cars waiting.
The squad flies straight after night games, often into airports that close at eleven. Three seasons, and we haven’t missed a curfew.
They told us the cheaper jet couldn’t make Aspen in January with our camera kit. They were right, and we stopped shopping around.
The part you shouldn’t have to think about
Before an operator flies one of our clients, we read its last two years of audits, check the pilots’ hours on type and visit the base. About one in four doesn’t make it through.
Every flight has two pilots, both with at least 3,000 hours. Our operations room follows each one live, and if something changes, a weather diversion or a slot delay, you hear it from us first, not from the airport.
- Two pilots, always
Both with 3,000 hours or more, at least 500 on the aircraft type.
- Audits read, bases visited
Two years of audit history before an operator flies a client.
- Followed live
The Geneva operations room watches every departure until the engines stop.
- Insured on every leg
Liability cover checked per flight, not once a year.
Empty legs this week
Jets flying home empty, at a fraction of the price
When a jet has to reposition, the price of the whole aircraft drops. These go within hours, and times can move with the original booking.

Things people ask before their first flight
How quickly can you get a jet ready?
Usually three hours in Europe and the US. Our fastest this year was 74 minutes, Luton to Geneva, for a client who had missed a scheduled flight. Long-range jets need a little longer to crew.
What is included in the price?
Aircraft, crew, fuel, airport and handling fees, standard catering and Wi-Fi where available. Anything extra is listed on the quote before you book.
Can I bring my pet?
Yes, on most aircraft. Tell us when you book so we can arrange the right paperwork for your destination.
How do jet cards differ from charter?
A card fixes your hourly rate and guarantees an aircraft with 24 hours' notice. Charter is priced per trip with no commitment.
Do you offer sustainable aviation fuel?
Yes. You can add sustainable aviation fuel to any flight, and corporate clients receive emissions reports for every trip.
Where to next?
Tell us the trip. A flight coordinator replies with aircraft options and an all-in price, usually within thirty minutes.
