Group Charter Flights
Group charter flights move 20 to 300+ people on one aircraft, on your schedule, to your airport.

About group charter flights
The customers are sports teams flying league schedules, companies running incentive trips and offsites, event and production crews with equipment, government delegations, and tour operators building programs around routes airlines do not serve. When the alternative is booking ninety scattered seats across two connecting airlines, a single chartered airliner is usually cheaper per head and always simpler to run. Aircraft selection follows group size and sector length. From 20 to 50 passengers, regional aircraft like the Embraer E145 or ATR 72 do the work economically.
From 50 to 180, narrow-body airliners, the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737 families, cover continental sectors; many are available in reduced-seat VIP configurations of 40 to 90 seats with business-class pitch throughout. Above 180 passengers or on intercontinental routes, wide-bodies such as the A330 or Boeing 767 come into play. We quote at least two configurations per request because the price difference between a full-economy 737 and a 60-seat VIP conversion of the same airframe is large, and groups deserve to see both.

How it works
Group charter operates under full airline-standard certification: an air operator certificate with scheduled-carrier-level maintenance and crew requirements, which in practice means the same regulatory floor as the airline you flew last month. We screen operators on fleet age, on-time performance where data exists, and audit status before presenting options. The operational layer is where a group charter succeeds or fails, and it is most of what we do. Slot coordination at congested airports, catering scaled from sandwich boxes to plated service, baggage and equipment handling for teams with cargo, name-change flexibility up to days before departure, and a dedicated check-in area at the FBO or terminal.
Sports teams get late-night departures after fixtures; incentive groups get branded cabin service; production crews get equipment weight allowances agreed in writing before contract.

What to expect
Pricing is per aircraft, not per seat, so the per-head cost falls as the group grows. A regional turboprop sector can come in under scheduled-economy pricing for a full aircraft, while VIP-configured narrow-bodies price against business class. Send us the group size, the city pair, and the dates; firm options with total pricing come back the same day where fleets have live availability. Group charter flights also remove the single biggest failure mode of group travel on scheduled airlines: one delayed connection stranding a third of the party.
On group charter flights the aircraft waits for the group, not the reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our services.
Often, yes — group charter is one of the few corners of private aviation where the per-person math can rival business class, and sometimes even premium economy. When you divide the cost of a chartered airliner or large cabin aircraft across 30, 50, or 100 passengers, the per-seat figure drops sharply, while the group gains schedule control, a dedicated check-in, branded touches on board, and the ability to fly point-to-point without connections. Sports teams, incentive groups, corporate roadshows, and event delegations use group charter precisely for this reason. The economics improve further on routes where scheduled airlines would force layovers or split the group across flights. Give us your headcount, route, and dates — the per-person comparison usually surprises people.
Yes — 50 passengers is comfortably within group charter territory. Depending on the route and budget, the right aircraft could be a regional jet in an all-business configuration, a VIP-configured airliner with lie-flat seating, or a standard narrow-body chartered whole. Each option changes the experience: a VIP airliner feels like a flying lounge, while a full narrow-body charter maximizes value per seat. We also handle the logistics that come with moving fifty people — group check-in at a private terminal where available, baggage handling for equipment, customized catering, and coordinated ground transport at both ends. Larger groups are equally feasible; we arrange charters from 20 passengers up to several hundred on wide-body aircraft for the largest delegations and tours.
