Common Questions
About choosing between PrivateFly and Jet Partners
What is the main model difference between PrivateFly and Jet Partners?
The current PrivateFly website states that PrivateFly is now FXAIR. Its terms identify PrivateFly Limited as trading as FXAIR and acting as an intermediary between the charterer and aircraft operator. Jet Partners acts as an air charter broker under 14 CFR Part 295 and arranges mission-specific flights performed by properly licensed direct air carriers.
How is pricing handled by PrivateFly?
The aircraft operator's quotation and any special conditions are documented in the Charter Contract; historical PrivateFly rate claims are not current evidence. Compare the current written proposal or booking terms with a Jet Partners mission-specific quote; neither provider's terms should be inferred from an old public rate or fee.
Does PrivateFly operate the aircraft?
PrivateFly Limited trading as FXAIR is described as an intermediary, not the aircraft operator. The contracted aircraft operator supplies the aircraft and crew and performs the flight.
What should I verify before booking with PrivateFly or Jet Partners?
Confirm the contracting party, direct air carrier, aircraft, operational-control disclosure, included and excluded charges, payment schedule, change and cancellation rules, service area, passenger requirements, and any recovery terms in the current written agreement.
Which private aviation model might fit my trip?
PrivateFly may suit travelers researching the former privatefly brand and its current fxair charter pathway. Jet Partners may suit a traveler seeking trip-by-trip broker sourcing without joining a recurring program. The right fit depends on the mission and the current written terms, not a universal provider ranking.
