FAQ

Is aircraft charter a safe way to fly?
Yes. Aircraft charter is as safe as flying with one of the top airlines in the world. Aircraft used for charter services fulfill the same stringent technical requirements as any state-of-the-art airliner. Charter companies and pilots are certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and country specific Authorities before they are allowed to fly. Once this certification is achieved, their continued operation is at the Authorities' discretion, and they receive constant oversight under rigid safety regulations.  [moreHow does Jet Aviation ensure charter client safety?
