  • What is private jet charter?

    A private jet charter is a personal, unscheduled flight that is tailored to your personal travel needs. Rather than purchase a singular seat, the passenger/s rents the entire aircraft, allowing them complete flexibility and a faster transfer.

  • Why fly Private?

    There are many reasons why people chose to fly private rather than book a seat on a commercial flight. One of the main benefits of flying by private jet (or helicopter) is the general convenience it brings, but more specific examples include:



    Time Saving – Travellers can forget the hassles of showing up 2 hours before a flight to stand in check in queues, security checks and boarding lines. Private jet travel means that you can simply arrive 15 minutes or so before your flight’s departure time, and you’ll gain access to a private lounge where you can wait for boarding. This valuable time saved on waiting allows for extra time at your destination, or to prepare for your travels.



    Comfort – Whilst commercially scheduled flights must accommodate the needs of the general public, a private jet charter offers privacy, personal space, a one-to-one service, luxury furnishings, and the opportunity to tailor meals to your dietary needs.



    Business – It’s becoming increasingly popular for companies to offer private jet travel to their teams. When every minute away from your desk costs money, business charter can pay for itself. With a business charter, employees can work and prepare whilst they are in the air – on board facilities include WI-FI, telephone and boardroom facilities.



  • Are private jets safe?

    At Jet Vision, above all else, safety of your passengers is our highest priority.


    To ensure this for all our passengers, we have stringent requirements that our partners must meet to enable us to offer their aircraft.  Some of the key elements that our partners must have are as follows:



    1. Every partner and aircraft we use must be on an Air Operators Certificate issued by the country they are based in. This means the Aviation Authorities of that country audit the operation and aircraft to ensure they meet the requirements to operate commercially. All the partners and aircraft we use have to meet the same standards as all the airlines within that country.  For example, all the UK operators are regulated by the UK Civil Aviation Authority and they audit all the companies twice a year in exactly the same way as they audit commercial operators such as British Airways, etc.
    2. Every partner we work with carries out two simulator checks each year on every pilot to ensure they meet the required standards to operate the aircraft.
    3. All our partners have independent maintenance organisations to ensure all the maintenance and checks are completed as required on their aircraft.  This is a legal requirement and any deviation from this would result in the operator losing their Air Operators Certificate.
    4. We also ensure every partner and aircraft has the correct insurance requirements to operate commercially and this is audited by us.

    There can never be any compromise on safety, and we only offer aircraft that meet all the requirements above.


    Private flights use private terminals that notably less crowded (and much cleaner). Once onboard, passengers will have the full aircraft to themselves, so you don’t need to worry about contamination from others. There are much fewer interactions, giving you a much safer experience traveling.

  • Where to book a private jet?

    Hiring a private jet and navigating all the options available can be overwhelming, so most people chose to use a private jet broker to streamline the process.



    When you contact Jet Vision, we’ll ask you to tell us about your trip: Where you’re going? When are you going? Who are you going with? Etc.


    Once we’ve established your primary needs, we’ll help you choose your preferred jet, using our expert knowledge to recommend the best aircraft for your journey. To do so, we’ll take into account your route, destination airport(s), length of trip, luggage, and your budget.

  • Is Jet Vision offering a Jetcard?

  • How much are private flights?

    Despite their luxury positioning, private jet charter can be cheaper than you may think. It is possible to take a private flight for a lower cost per person than purchasing business/first class airfare if you travel with multiple people of your choice (you rent the jet, not the seats).


  • Is buying a private jet more cost efficient than chartering?

    It depends on multiple factors. If you charter more than 200 hours per year, private travel becomes an essential part of your life, it may be time to buy your own jet. Our team of experts in private aviation acquisition will guide you through the process of purchasing a private jet and assist you in making an informed buying decision. Learn More



  • Can a private jet land at an international airport?

    Flexibility to land whenever and wherever is one of the main traits of business aviation. Although there are restrictions, there is often a way to get clients as close to their destination as physically possible. It is true that a private jet can land at an international airport, as well as a domestic or regional airport, allowing you to save time to arrive closer to your final destination while saving money on ground transportation. 



  • How much luggage can I take on a private jet?

    How much luggage you can take with you on a private jet charter flight depends on a few factors: The type of aircraft you are flying on; how many passengers are onboard; and what type and size of luggage you have.



    The luggage capacity for a private jet aircraft is given as a volume of cubic feet and as a general rule, this will equate to at least one suitcase and one carry-on item per passenger – based on the maximum number of passengers the aircraft can carry.



    But don’t be limited on your luggage and travel light with our luggage service.  Traveling with a lot of luggage, both business and private, can be a lot of "hassle". Travel a lot easier and enjoy maximum convenience with our door-to-door luggage service. Travel-light, avoid hassle with ground transportation and you can even save money by booking a smaller aircraft to / from your destination.

  • Can you smoke on your own private jet?

    With commercial, scheduled flights, travellers must refrain from smoking inside the aircraft. Private charters allow for clients to smoke onboard, however, this must be requested at the time of booking so that your broker can arrange a smoking-friendly aircraft.

  • Can you fly by private jet with a dog?

    Pets on Jets! One of the biggest worries for pet owners is the stress that their furry family members can suffer during travel. So, it comes as a welcome relief that private charters can be tailored to accommodate your pet and allow for them to join you in the cabin.



    Whenever you travel, whether for business or leisure, have you wished you could arrange a pet flight to take your faithful friend with you without hassle and fuss?


    When flying by private jet that’s exactly what you can do! Many UK airports are now allowing pets on planes; extending their VIP terminal facilities to accommodate passengers who wish to bring their pet with them.



    UK residents are able to take pets to other EU countries and designated non-EU countries, and arrive back to the UK without the need for quarantine provided your pet has been microchipped and vaccinated against rabies.



    On board a private jet, your pet can join you in the cabin and enjoy the journey rather than going through the traumatic ordeal associated with commercial flight procedures. They can get comfortable and look forward to being pampered by aircraft operators who can provide favourite food and snacks, preferred bedding and a litter tray. What more could you want for your furry companion?



    Let’s face it, pets need a holiday too and they’re part of the family! You’d miss them and they’d miss you too! And with more and more hotels becoming pet friendly, there’s never been a better time to bring your four-legged friend with you.

  • What is an Empty Leg?

    Every time a private jet is booked for a one way flight, an empty leg becomes available for the return journey, because aircraft must fly empty to return to its previous destination and pick up its next set of passengers. This means that by booking wisely you could save up to 75% on the cost of a conventional private jet charter. Learn More 

  • What is an FBO / VIP Terminal?

    fixed-base operator (FBO) is the private terminal passengers use before and after a flight. It’s regularly equipped with a parking, lounge, cafeteria, restrooms, meeting rooms, and security check areas. Flying private offers passengers a number of advantages over commercial air travel, including the ability to board the aircraft 15 minutes after their arrival.
