The Avianese pillar
Charter, your way.
Choose the channel that suits you. Every conversation is private. Every advisor can quote and book on the spot. No queues, no call-backs.
The value isn’t in the rate. It’s in the time.
Price matters. In private aviation, the real value is time recovered, a direct routing that commercial cannot match, and a cabin that works from wheels-up to touchdown.
This page exists because we would rather explain pricing than obscure it. The tables below are indicative. Your actual quote reflects availability, repositioning, and timing on the day. But this is the shape of it.
What actually changes the number.
No two charters price the same, and most quotes hide why behind one round total. Here is what sits inside the figure, so you can read your quote and know what each line is for.
Aircraft class & range
Bigger, longer-range jets cost more per hour.
Distance & flight time
Most of the price is flight hours; longer legs cost more.
One-way & repositioning
Empty ferry legs to reach you are charged.
Dates, demand & notice
Peak dates and short notice push prices up.
Airport, FBO & handling
Landing and handling fees vary by airport.
Crew, overnight & duty
Multi-day trips add crew overnight and duty time.
Fuel & surcharges
Fuel moves with the market, shown as its own line.
Taxes, permits & extras
Taxes, permits and extras like catering or pets.
Aircraft rates by category.
Rates span nine categories, from the Citation Mustang at entry level to the Global 7500 and VIP airliners like the Airbus ACJ320. For full specifications on every aircraft, see the Aircraft Guide.

Three ways to fly. Honest about which is which.
Charter is straightforward, transparent brokering. Vault adds a deposit and rebates on top. Agency flips the model entirely for those who fly often. In plain terms:
Charter
Pay per flightHow you pay
A clear, itemised quote per trip
Cost vs a broker
Competitive and transparent
Commitment
None, fly when you like
Best for
Occasional and one-off trips
Vault
Deposit once, draw downHow you pay
A deposit you spend against, fully refundable
Cost vs a broker
Charter pricing, less a rebate ladder up to 5%
Commitment
A refundable deposit, no per-trip lock-in
Best for
Regular flyers who want priority and rebates
Agency
By applicationHow you pay
A flat fee, never a per-trip margin
Cost vs a broker
Around 25% lower, operator savings passed to you
Commitment
By application, on committed spend
Best for
Frequent flyers, roughly $100k+ a year
Why we do not sell jet cards.
A jet card asks you to pre-pay and commit, then quietly works against you. We built the Vault to give the upside without the trap.
A jet card
×
Locks you in for a fixed term and balance

Fixed hourly rate on a set aircraft category

Peak-day and remote-airport surcharges

Service tends to slip once you are committed
Avianese Vault
✓
No term and no lock-in, the deposit is refundable
✓
Any category, fly light to heavy as needed
✓
No peak or remote-airport surcharges
✓
No expiry on your balance
✓
Priority earned on every flight, not assumed
A jet card can feel cost-effective, yet the lock-in, the surcharges and the slow drift in service quietly erode that. For anyone flying often, the honest best value is not a card at all. It is Agency: one flat fee, operator cost passed straight through.
Avianese Vanguard · AOG protection
AOG stops the aircraft. Not the trip.
Aircraft on ground, AOG, is the one risk no broker controls: a technical fault, a crew issue, a grounding, and a trip can collapse hours before departure. Vanguard removes it. For 5% on top of any charter, we guarantee a like-for-like replacement so your plans hold, with no claim to file and no scramble. It is the difference between a crisis and a non-event.
