How On-Demand Jet Charter Works
Get Charter Flights Details:
For many travelers, private jet charter is a new experience, and it’s natural to have questions about how the industry works. At Primeo Charters, we believe informed clients make confident travel decisions, so here’s a clear overview of what to expect.
Who Owns the Aircraft?
Private jets available for charter are owned by a wide range of entities, including private individuals, corporations, and professional aircraft management companies. To legally offer an aircraft for charter, owners must operate under the appropriate regulatory certification. In the United States, this typically means holding FAA Part 135 approval.
Once certified, these aircraft are listed on the charter market and can be rented by travelers for individual trips, without ownership responsibilities.
How Are Aircraft Selected for Each Trip?
The private jet charter industry is highly decentralized, with thousands of aircraft operated by different companies across the globe. Finding the right aircraft for a specific journey requires industry knowledge, access to real-time availability, and trusted relationships.
This is where Primeo Charters plays a key role. Our aviation specialists evaluate your route, schedule, aircraft preferences, and budget to source the most suitable option. By working closely with vetted operators and using advanced sourcing tools, we ensure every flight meets strict standards for safety, comfort, and value.
What About Safety Standards?
All charter aircraft must comply with FAA requirements for maintenance, equipment, and crew qualifications. However, additional third-party safety oversight is essential in private aviation.
Independent safety auditing organizations such as ARG/US and Wyvern assess operators beyond regulatory minimums. Most reputable charter operators participate in one or both programs, demonstrating a commitment to higher safety benchmarks. Primeo Charters prioritizes partnerships with operators that meet or exceed these standards.
Flying During Peak Travel Seasons
Peak travel periods—such as major holidays or popular vacation seasons—can impact aircraft availability and pricing. During these times, demand increases and aircraft book quickly.
For best availability and pricing, it’s recommended to plan peak-season travel well in advance. When local aircraft are unavailable, additional repositioning costs may apply if an aircraft must be flown in from another location.
Booking Last-Minute Charter Flights
Last-minute private jet travel is one of the core advantages of on-demand charter. Many flights can be arranged with just a few hours’ notice, depending on aircraft and crew availability.
That said, availability can be limited during high-demand periods or in remote locations. Flexibility with timing or departure airports can help improve options for urgent travel needs.

For travelers new to private aviation, on-demand charter offers an excellent introduction. With no long-term commitments and access to a wide range of aircraft, it allows you to experience private jet travel with maximum flexibility.
