What on-demand means
The aircraft is yours, for exactly the trip you need
On-demand charter is the simplest way to fly privately. You charter a whole aircraft, with its crew, for a specific journey. There is no joining fee, no block of hours to use up and no commitment beyond the trip itself.
Because every trip is sourced afresh, the aircraft fits the journey: a light jet for two people to Geneva, a larger cabin for eight to Dubai, a turboprop where the runway is short. We arrange aircraft from operators we know and trust, check the details that matter, and stay responsible for the whole journey, including the cars: our own cars and chauffeurs in London and Manchester, and a trusted global network everywhere else.
Why people fly this way
Time is the point
- Depart when it suits you, from the airport nearest you, not the nearest airline hub
- Arrive at the private terminal minutes before departure, not hours
- Reach smaller airports close to where you are actually going: Cannes, Samedan, Sion, Chambéry
- Several cities in one day, and home the same evening
- Privacy to work, talk or rest, with people you chose to travel with
- Pets, skis, instruments and awkward luggage handled without drama

Trip calculator
Which aircraft can make the trip?
Type where you are flying from and to, and how many are travelling if you know. You will see the distance, a realistic time in the air and which aircraft can fly it non-stop. Then send it to us and we will find the actual aircraft.
Distances are great circle, the shortest line over the earth. Non-stop is judged against 85% of each aircraft's published still-air range, which leaves a sensible margin for reserves, wind and load. Times are a planning range for the time in the air, not a schedule. Aircraft are arranged with licensed commercial operators, and every quote is checked against the actual aircraft, the load and the forecast for your date.

Questions people ask
About on-demand charter
Who operates the aircraft?
We arrange charter with aircraft operators we know, and we stay responsible for your journey from door to door. Our own cars and chauffeurs are in London and Manchester, and a trusted global network covers everywhere else.
How much notice do you need?
More notice means more choice and usually a better price, but aircraft can often be arranged within hours. See last-minute charter.
Is the price per seat or per aircraft?
Per aircraft. You charter the whole cabin, so the cost per person falls as the group grows.
Do I need a passport for a private flight?
Yes, for international flights. Passport and any visa requirements are the same as for an airline. The checks simply happen in the private terminal and take minutes.
Would a jet card suit me better?
If you fly often enough that agreeing each trip separately is tedious, possibly. See jet cards and block hours.
