How long will the plane and pilot wait?
The plane and pilot will remain in the city you travel to until you are ready to return....An nominal hourly fee is charged per hour while the crew waits and we will stay overnight as needed for an additional fee.

Your charter aircraft can pick up at an airport that is most convenient for you, wherever you may be.How many people can go?
The smallest, most economical aircraft can hold up to four. Aircraft are available that will hold groups of up to 5, 6, 8, 9, 16 and 30 (or less in each case) See aircraft link for more detailsHow far can we go? Can you go overseas...
