Definition

Private Jet Charter Brokers are intermediaries that arrange on-demand private-aircraft charter without ordinarily exercising operational control over the flight.

Overview

A broker’s value lies in operator access, aircraft matching, market knowledge and disruption support. Clients should verify the identity and certificate of the actual operator, insurance, aircraft suitability, cancellation and payment protections. Broker vetting supplements but does not replace aviation-authority oversight or the operator’s safety responsibilities.
