Group private jet charter
One jet. Everyone's share, worked out.
Charter the whole aircraft for your group, see one all-in price, and split it the fair way: equally, by seat, by leg or by bags. Flights by FAA Part 135 operators.
- All-in group quotes
- Split four ways
- No membership
- One all-in numberTax, segment fees and airport charges are in the total before anyone splits it.
- Fair-share mathsThe calculator shares the bill by person, seat, leg or bag, and shows its working.

- One organiser, one advisorWhoever plans the trip deals with a single advisor from first message to landing.
Four ways to split
Split it the way your group calls fair
Every group has its own idea of fair. The calculator handles four of them, with tax and fees already inside the total.
Equal shares
Everyone pays the same. Simple, and right when the whole group flies every leg.
6 people · $30,000 → $5,000 each
By seat
Couples and families count by seats taken, so a family of four carries four shares.
4 seats + 2 seats → ⅔ and ⅓
By leg flown
Joining for the outbound only? Pay for the legs you are on and nothing else.
Each leg shared by who is aboard
By bags
Skis, golf clubs and big cases carry a bigger slice of a set part of the bill.
20% of the bill shared by bags
A worked example, not a quote
If an all-in quote came to $30,000 and six people flew every leg, equal shares would be $5,000 each. Change one assumption and the calculator redoes the maths.
How it works
How a group books
One person organises, everyone flies. Here is the path from first message to boarding.
- 1
Send the trip and the headcount
Route, dates and how many are flying. Mention anyone joining for one leg only, and the bags.
- 2
Get one all-in price
Your advisor returns aircraft options from Part 135 operators, each with a total that already includes tax and fees.
- 3
Split it, then fly
Agree shares with the calculator. The organiser signs the charter agreement with the operator, and the group meets at the private terminal.

Seats, range and the seat-hour
How many each cabin carries, and roughly what one seat costs per flight hour when the cabin is full. US market estimates.

Safety and standards
Same standards, however you split it
Everyone in the group flies under the same rules. We arrange the trip; a certificated operator flies it and keeps operational control.
Part 135 operators
US charter flights are run by direct air carriers certificated under Part 135. Abroad, the foreign equivalent applies.
Audits we look for
ARGUS ratings of Gold, Gold+ or Platinum, Wyvern Wingman and IS-BAO registration at stages 1 to 3 are noted in your quote when they apply.
Crews with proper rest
Pilots work within legal duty and rest limits, so group schedules are planned around them rather than squeezed.
FAQ
Group questions, answered
Can each of us pay the operator separately?
Usually not. One person or company signs the charter agreement, and the operator takes payment under it. How the group settles up afterwards is yours to decide; the calculator helps you agree the numbers first.
Is the 7.5% tax shared too?
Yes, it is part of the bill. On domestic US trips the federal excise tax applies to the charter price, while the segment fee is charged per passenger per leg, so the calculator puts that one on whoever flies each leg.
What if someone drops out?
The aircraft costs the same with one fewer person, so everyone else's share rises. Read the cancellation terms in the charter agreement before the group commits, and agree among yourselves what a late withdrawal means.
How many people fit?
From four on a very light jet to around nineteen on the biggest jets, though luggage matters as much as seats. Tell us the headcount and the bags and we will size the aircraft.
Can some of us fly only one way?
Yes. Tick only the legs each person takes and the calculator charges them for those legs alone. Mention it in your request so the quote reflects the right numbers on each leg.
Are skis and golf bags a problem?
They take room. Small jets fill fast with sports bags, so list them in your request; the bag-weighted method in the calculator then shares that space out fairly.
Can we bring a dog?
Lots of operators accept dogs and cats if they approve it in advance; say so in the request and we will quote only aircraft that allow pets. Check everyone in the group is happy with it too.
Do we need to join anything?
Nobody in the group has to join, pay a deposit or open an account to get a quote. Money changes hands only after the organiser accepts a quote and signs the charter agreement.
