Whether flying for business or leisure, a charter flight is the most comfortable and convenient way to reach your destination. One of our team’s most frequent questions was: "So where do you fly to?".

It is an absolute privilege that we have the opportunity to connect more than 200 remote communities across Australia every year. And with a fleet of 40 aircraft, we can fly you anywhere in Australia. 

Here are 7 reasons why you should fly charter with us.

1. A Flexible Schedule

One of the main reasons to fly a charter is the opportunity to fly whenever suits you.

We recognise that most people are juggling both personal and work commitments most days, and every minute counts. And that's why we offer you the opportunity to choose the time of the flight and the route that best suits your needs.

Air travel can be stressful, and when something comes up at the last minute, it can be frustrating not being able to travel. Fortunately, it’s not challenging to reschedule your flight when flying on a charter plane. You just need to liaise with our friendly operations team, so they can reroute your flight or – if necessary – reschedule your flight for a later date.

2. Choose your Departure time

Unlike flying commercial, where passengers must arrive at the airport hours before departure, when using a private charter service, you can check in much closer to take-off. Sometimes you can arrive as little as 30 minutes before your private aeroplane is due to depart. 

3. Reach Destinations Commercial Jets Can’t

Our extensive fleet of 40 aircraft can land on different airstrips that commercial jets cannot. This means that you can fly directly to your destination across Australia. No more layovers and time squandered.

4. Charter Flights Are the Perfect Choice for Time-Critical Transportation

Whether it's Government business, Healthcare workers, FIFO teams, tradespeople, leisure travellers or freight transportation requirements, including pet travel, a charter flight can accommodate local direct services for all sectors who require fast access between ports.

5. Reasonable Travel Expense

A private charter is a convenient choice for travellers who once thought they were restricted to flying commercial. When you consider the per person cost on a charter flight, it is often very cost effective. Chartair also provides complimentary refreshments while relaxing at our private passenger lounge, to enhance your private charter experience. Essentially, in this time of flight cancellations, and the impacts of Covid-19, knowing that you can avoid crowded airports becomes an attractive alternative as you know you can travel with peace of mind.

6. Security and Discretion

You will be travelling faster and more conveniently, but you will also have privacy and the highest level of discretion. Chartair upholds the highest safety standards. With CASA-approved Safety Management System, Aircraft maintenance, CASA approved CAR217/ Part 141 Training and Checking Organisation trained aircrew; we have the most critical components to ensure compliance and enhanced safety. At Chartair, safety is everyone's responsibility – whether on the ground or in the air, we merely won't compromise.

We fly many high-profile personnel across regional Australia, and our customers can all rest assured their travel in comfort is held respectably private.

7. Weather Restrictions

Across the Northern Territory, there are distinct climate areas. The wet season with tropical cyclones, monsoonal rains and storms can make access to remote communities across the Top End challenging or impossible. Let Chartair fly you to isolated parts of the country if they are inaccessible due to weather conditions prohibiting access by road.

There is no denying that chartering a flight will be the best travel decision in 2022 and beyond. The flexibility, control, and privacy that a private plane provides will make travelling a dream, allowing you to arrive at your destination without worrying about delays or crowded airports.
