Archive note: This page originally introduced a 2013 infographic. A universal claim that private charter is faster, easier, safer, or better than scheduled service would be incomplete, so the comparison is now trip specific.
Private charter and scheduled airline service use different airport, schedule, cabin, and contract models. Compare the complete itinerary, ground travel, passenger and baggage needs, proposed aircraft, direct carrier, estimated timing, operating constraints, and total written terms.
Jet Partners acts as a charter services arranger under 14 CFR Part 295, not as a direct air carrier, and does not exercise operational control. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified for an accepted trip operates the flight and makes the final operating and safety decisions. Request a trip-specific proposal.
