What charter actually means
You charter the aircraft, not a seat
Private jet charter means booking an entire aircraft — crew included — for one specific trip. You set the departure airport, the departure time and the passenger list. The operator supplies the aircraft and the flight crew. Nothing is paid in advance beyond that trip, and nothing is locked in afterwards: every flight is quoted, contracted and settled on its own.
Flyius is an air charter broker, not an airline. We do not own or operate aircraft. When you send a request, we put it to our network of certified operators, compare what comes back — price, aircraft age, cabin layout, safety rating, crew availability — and present the options side by side. The operator you choose signs the charter agreement and operates the flight under its own Air Operator Certificate.
This is also why going through a broker can beat calling one operator directly. An operator prices what it can actually fill: an aircraft already repositioning near your departure airport quotes very differently from one that has to fly in empty for you. A single quote from a single operator gives you no way to see that difference.

Charter vs the alternatives
Which private aviation model fits you
On-demand charter is one of five ways to fly privately. Here is where each one makes sense — and where it stops making sense.
| Model | Upfront commitment | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-demand charter | None — you pay per trip | Irregular schedules, or up to roughly 50 flight hours a year | Availability tightens in peak periods — book earlier for ski season and major events |
| Jet card | Six-figure sum prepaid | Predictable, repeated routes at 25–50 hours a year | Hours can expire, peak days are often blacked out, and the fixed rate usually sits above the spot market |
| Fractional share | Share purchase plus a monthly management fee | Roughly 50–200 hours a year over a multi-year horizon | Capital is tied up for years and the resale value of the share is not guaranteed |
| Full ownership | Aircraft purchase, then crew, hangarage and maintenance | Very high usage, generally above 300 hours a year | Fixed costs run whether the aircraft flies or sits |
| Commercial first or business class | None | Long-haul city pairs well served by scheduled airlines | Airline schedule, airline airports, shared cabin, no control over timing |
The industry rule of thumb: below roughly 50 flight hours a year, on-demand charter is almost always the cheapest way to fly privately, because you pay nothing for the time an aircraft spends on the ground.
Matching aircraft to the trip
What we need to recommend the right aircraft
A charter is one aircraft, with one crew, on your route on your date. These details decide which tails we put in front of you.
01
Aircraft category
Category is set by range and cabin size, not by luxury. Booking a larger aircraft than the route actually needs is the most common mismatch. Hourly rates by category live on the private jet cost guide.
02
Positioning
The aircraft has to reach your departure airport, and then return to base or continue to its next job. If it is already nearby, you pay for your leg. If it is not, you pay for the empty legs around it too. This one factor explains most of the price gap between two quotes for the same flight.
03
Trip shape
A same-day return is usually cheaper than two separate one-ways, because the aircraft and crew stay with you rather than repositioning twice. An overnight adds crew accommodation and brings duty-time limits into play.
04
Timing and season
Peak demand tightens supply and lifts prices — Alpine transfers in February, the Riviera in August, Monaco Grand Prix, Davos. So does very short notice, once the most efficiently positioned aircraft are already committed elsewhere.
05
Airport charges
Landing, handling and parking fees differ enormously between airfields. A secondary airport twenty minutes further from your final destination can be materially cheaper — and is often faster on the ground.
06
Included versus extra
Aircraft, crew, fuel, landing and handling fees and standard catering sit inside the quote. Premium catering, ground transport, de-icing and overnight crew costs on multi-day trips are quoted separately and shown as separate lines.
Every quote we send is all-in for the flight itself, with any extras itemised. We do not add a booking fee on top of the operator price.
Who actually operates the flight
Flyius is an air charter broker, not a carrier. Every flight is operated under the chosen operator’s Air Operator Certificate (AOC). We only quote operators that hold at least one recognised safety audit — ARGUS, Wyvern Wingman or IS-BAO — plus current insurance.

Questions?
Private jet charter FAQ
How do I charter a private jet?
Send your route, dates and passenger count. We put the request to certified operators and return comparable options, typically within 2 hours. You pick an aircraft, confirm, and arrive 15–20 minutes before departure. Hourly rates and route examples live on the private jet cost guide.
How far in advance should I book a charter flight?
While we can arrange flights with as little as 4 hours notice, booking 48-72 hours ahead typically ensures better aircraft selection and pricing. For peak periods (ski season, Monaco Grand Prix, Cannes), we recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead. Last-minute bookings may incur a 10-25% premium.
How do I choose the right aircraft?
Start from the trip, not the cabin: passenger count, luggage (skis and golf bags fill a Light Jet fast), range, and whether you need a stand-up cabin. We recommend a category against those constraints, then you compare the specific tails operators actually have available on your date.
Can I book one-way charter flights?
Yes! Unlike many commercial options, private jet charter allows flexible one-way bookings. This is ideal for point-to-point travel or combining with commercial flights. We also offer empty legs — one-way repositioning flights at up to 75% off.
Which airports can I use with private charter?
Private jets worldwide can access over 5,000 airports — 10x more than commercial airlines. Through Flyius, you have access to 200+ of the most sought-after private aviation airports, including Le Bourget (Paris), Farnborough (London), Sion (Swiss Alps), and Courchevel Altiport. Many are closer to city centers or final destinations than major commercial hubs.
What happens if my plans change?
We understand plans change. Standard cancellation terms are: full refund more than 7 days before departure, 50% refund 3-7 days before, no refund within 3 days. We always work with you to reschedule rather than cancel whenever possible. Premium bookings can include flexible cancellation options.
Is it cheaper to book through a broker or directly with an operator?
It depends on whether the operator you call happens to have a well-positioned aircraft on your date. If it does, booking direct is competitive. If it does not, you are paying for its aircraft to fly in empty — and you have no way of knowing, because you only see one quote. A broker puts the same request to several operators at once, which is what surfaces the difference. We do not add a booking fee on top of the operator price.
What is an empty leg, and should I wait for one?
An empty leg is a repositioning flight an aircraft has to make anyway — flying back to base, or on to its next client — with no passengers on board. Operators sell those seats at a heavy discount, typically 25–75% below a standard charter. The catch is that you take the route and the timing as they come, and the flight can be cancelled if the original booking changes. Worth watching if your dates are flexible; not something to plan a fixed commitment around.
How many passengers and how much luggage actually fit?
A Light Jet takes 4–6 passengers, a Midsize 6–8, a Heavy Jet 8–12, and an ultra-long-range aircraft up to 19. Luggage is usually the real constraint rather than seats: golf bags, ski equipment and oversized cases reduce capacity well before the seat count does. Tell us what you are carrying at quote stage and we will size the aircraft around it.
Can I fly with pets?
Yes — on most charters pets travel in the cabin with you rather than in a hold, which is one of the more common reasons people move from commercial to private. Rules depend on the operator and on the destination country’s import requirements, so it needs to be declared when you request the quote rather than at the aircraft.
What documents do I need?
Passports or national ID for every passenger, the same as a scheduled flight — private aviation does not exempt you from immigration or customs. We collect passenger details after booking and file them with the operator and the handling agent. For flights outside the Schengen area, allow time for customs clearance at both ends.
Do you charge a booking fee or commission on top of the price?
No. The price you see is the price you pay for the flight, with extras such as premium catering or ground transport itemised separately if you request them. There is no membership, no annual fee and no per-booking charge.
