Safety & Security

Since 9/11 the number of people looking to charter private jets has increased dramatically on a global scale. Businesses are seeking out affordable and more reliable alternatives to commercial flights and are finding the solution in the form of aircraft charter services. As well as the dedication and commitment of charter companies they also cite the exacting and stringent approach to safety and security as a major factor in their choice to charter private jets.

The high level of investment into the private jet charter industry facilitates incredibly high standards and an increasing level of technology and sophistication ensures a premium level of service. Jet charter companies have to evolve and innovate in order to remain competitive and provide the most luxurious aircrafts in the world.

This is a billion dollar industry that attracts and serves the management and executives from other billion dollar industries. There are already over 2000 business aircrafts in Europe (and over 10,000 in the USA) and it is well documented that celebrities, Chairmen, Heads of State, Government officials and Chief Executives chose private jet charter flights due to their impressive safety and security measures.

All of the existing private jet charter flight companies are required by the Regulatory Bodies of their specific country to carry out intensive and extensive maintenance and testing to ensure the highest safety standards are met. Many companies have on-sight testing and maintenance hangers equipped with the latest capabilities and resources to ensure that they meet exacting standards for operational safety and security. It is also reassuring to know that most private and executive jets are less than 3 years old whereas, according to Boeing, the average age of a commercial airliner is nearly 13 years.

Private jet charters are usually flown by an experienced team of 2 pilots who often devote all their time to flying these particular types of aircraft. On average they also commit even more time to vigorous training and re-training than commercial pilots.


Addressing Safety and Security Concerns:

  • You always know exactly who you will be flying with – consequently the risk of rouge baggage is virtually eliminated.
  • Vigorous safety checks to comply with national and international safety standards
  • Arrangements can often be made for additional security personnel to fly with you
  • Your choice of landing destinations can be varied or changed – even mid-flight
  • Most modern charter plane fleets are made up of very ‘young’ jets
  • Cabins are equipped with emergency procedure equipment inclusive of smoke hoods, emergency medical kits and external defibrillators.
  • Operators are covered by public liability insurance

The reputation of private jet charter flight companies are strongly built on the foundations of offering the highest levels of comfort and security and as such an incredible investment – both financially and in terms of maintenance hours – goes into insuring very high standards of both.
