worth individuals and corporations who have the private jets on Part 135
air charter certificates. The vast size of our network allows us to

essentially a product of
five things: passenger count, baggage requirements, range,

Jet Charter
Block Rate Programs are the perfect alternative for
individuals or corporations that fly 25 to 300 hrs per year.

Can I get a
seat on an airplane?
“Yes”, but
you need to charter the entire aircraft. No matter how many
passengers, the rate is the same. Thus, flying with 3 or more
passengers can often save you money compared to flying the
airlines.
What's an
empty leg flight?
This is
when the aircraft is already scheduled to fly a passenger (or
pick up a passenger) on a one way flight. The other "leg", that
the aircraft needs to fly is empty of passengers, and is
considered the empty leg or backhaul. Since the aircraft has
been paid by the first passenger, the empty leg rate is
substantially reduced (between 25-60% off the regular price).

What safety
and security standards do Air Broker Net have?
At Air Broker Net, our main focus is
safety and security. For each charter flight request, we also request
the latest aircraft maintenance records of the charter aircraft you will
fly, require that pilots have a certain minimum of flight hours
and experience, and ensures sufficient insurance coverage of the
charter aircraft operator.
From among the 1,400 regulated charter jet operators, Air Broker
Net only selects those that meet the high standards set by
independent auditors like WYVERN (Flight
Safety) and Q-STAR.
As far as security is concerned, Air
Broker Net requires background checks by its charter jet
operators, from flight attendants to pilots. The FAA has
recently enhanced security regulations at private airports and
requires that: " All passengers present two forms of
identification before entry to the aircraft. " Pilots have the
right to inspect passengers and luggage. " Aircraft are
inspected prior to the boarding of passengers.
We conform to the standards
established by the FAA for airlines, except that you don't have
to wait in long lines as you pass through security procedures.
In many cases its just you and four or five other passengers.
Security delays are virtually non-existent.
How would
you compare Air Broker Net's
Jet Charter Block Rate Program with a typical
fractional ownership program?
The Air
Broker Net Block Rate Program has no membership fees, no
acquisition costs, no monthly management fees, no long-term
contractual commitments and no hidden costs.
Rather than being tied to a specific jet aircraft as with fractional
programs you can select the right jet aircraft for each trip: heavy
jets for long trips; light jets for shorter trips. What makes
block rate program even more compelling is that a jet aircraft is always
available. You don't have to contend with co-owners when you're
ready to fly. In addition, Air Broker Net’s aircraft operators
that are used in this program adheres to the stringent
requirements of Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations and other standards set by independent
auditors. These standards are much stricter than the Part 91
rules that apply to most other fractionally owned aircraft,
unless you choose to use a fractional aircraft used in a part
135 air charter operation like Air Broker Net’s
Fractional
Aircraft Solution.
How far in
advance do I need to book my charter flight?

private air
charter through us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year with only a

complicated itineraries (with multiple destinations), we suggest

private aircraft.
Are tickets
needed?
Almost
never. When chartering a smaller aircraft we only need the
passenger names and information one or few days prior to
departure. I some cases we can get you a flight within a few
hours of prior notice. When chartering large aircraft, some
airlines require individual tickets or a group ticket, but most
airlines require only a passenger manifest.
