Aerocruise Air Charters provide helicopters, propeller aircraft & light jets for air taxi charters.
Helicopters: We can charter helicopters to access remote locations with limited infrastructure that are ideal for charters to mines and rigs.
Propeller Planes: From piston propellers that can fly up to four passengers to turboprops for groups of up to eight people, propeller planes can land in small airfields closer to your final destination.
Very Light Private Jets: For a smooth, fast flight for up to six passengers, a private jet is a flexible short-haul travel option.

Questions About Flying by Private Aircraft
Chartering a private jet is straightforward: you define your travel needs (route, passengers, timing), choose the right aircraft type, and book through us who arrange everything from crew to catering. Costs vary widely depending on jet size and distance, but options like “empty leg” flights can reduce prices by up to 75%.
Choosing the right aircraft for a private flight is all about balancing comfort, range, passenger count, and budget. Here’s a clear framework to help you decide:
Key Factors to Consider
Private jets typically cruise between 500–600 mph (Mach 0.80–0.90), which is slightly faster than most commercial airliners. The fastest private jets today, like the Bombardier Global 8000 and Gulfstream G700, can reach Mach 0.935–0.94 (around 700 mph), making them the fastest civilian aircraft since Concorde.
The range of a private jet depends heavily on its size, fuel capacity, and design, but modern jets can cover anything from short hops to intercontinental journeys without refueling.
The amount of luggage you can bring on a charter flight depends on the aircraft size, passenger count, and runway limits. Unlike commercial airlines, there’s no fixed baggage allowance—your luggage capacity is tied to the jet’s design and weight balance.
Key Considerations
One of the perks of chartering a private jet is that check-in is dramatically faster and more flexible than commercial flights.
Typical Check-In Timing for Charter Flights
Arrive 15–30 minutes before departure
Most operators recommend arriving about half an hour before your scheduled flight. This gives time for security screening (minimal compared to airlines), baggage handling, and boarding.
No long queues
You’ll use a private terminal (called an FBO – Fixed Base Operator) where staff handle everything quickly and discreetly.
Flexibility
If you’re running late, the aircraft usually waits for you (within reason). Unlike commercial flights, the schedule revolves around you.
International flights
Allow a little extra time (30–45 minutes) for customs and immigration clearance, though it’s still much faster than at a regular airport terminal.
Yes—you can absolutely fly with your pet on a charter flight, and it’s one of the big advantages of private aviation compared to commercial airlines.
