With access to over 7,000 aircraft and our team of aviation experts available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year, Air Partner can offer maximum flexibility - so if your plans have to change at a moment’s notice, we are always on hand to fly you to where you need to be.
Navigating the process of booking
We are already noticing that clients are using private jet services in place of first-class or business-class scheduled flights. Many scheduled flight routes have been canceled as travel restrictions have cut demand, and it's likely to take time for scheduled services to recover as travel requirements increase. Private charter offers a reliable alternative with guaranteed availability, so you have peace of mind that you will get to where you need to be and you'll have access to routes instantly as they open up.
With 60 years of experience in aircraft charter and industry-leading aviation safety & security solutions, Air Partner is the perfect choice for your first private jet charter.
If you're looking for a more secure alternative to scheduled flights and are new to flying privately, we have put together a simple guide to help you navigate the process of booking.
1. Send your enquiry
When enquiring, it is helpful to include the date, departure times, route, number of passengers and number of bags. In the current circumstances with various travel restrictions in place, we may ask for information about your citizenship and visas. Our team are highly experienced and will advise you on any travel documentation needed to meet country requirements.
2. Choose your aircraft
We will search the market to find the best solution for your flight and present you with a number of options to choose from. During these uncertain times, we are offering options for flexible cancellation, so you can book ahead with peace of mind.
3. Book
When you want to confirm and book your flight, your Account Manager will provide you with a contract to sign. We will then send your passenger brief detailing the route information. At this stage, we will request the passengers' passport details and discuss on-board preferences with you. All the details for your flight, including landing slots, handling and on-board dining are managed by us.
Get Maximum Safety
Booking private jet charter with Air Partner gives you much more control over the travel environment and enables you to effectively mitigate your risk of exposure. In addition to aligning with general industry practices of working with all partners to implement required safety measures on board, such as disinfecting the cabin and the provision of PPE, our Charter team have worked closely with our Safety & Security division to closely assess risk at every point of your journey. We are at the very forefront of the industry and are currently responsible for advising airlines on risk management as the travel industry starts to determine how they will approach these new challenges to maximise the safety of passengers. This means we can provide you with industry-leading guidance and advice so you can rest assured you can control and minimise your risk to exposure from the moment you leave your house to when you arrive at your final destination.

How can you benefit from Empty Legs flights?
Another cost-efficient way to fly private is through empty leg flights. They can save you up to 75% of the charter price and are great for people with a flexible schedule.
Empty legs are flights that are due to operate without any passengers as the aircraft repositions back to its base, or is going elsewhere to be ready for its next flight. If you are flexible and can move quickly, you could hop aboard the empty leg and save up to 75% on the cost of a conventional private jet charter.
Can I fly with my pets when travelling by private jet?
Pets are allowed on private flights. You can travel with your pet safely and comfortably in the cabin. You may need to carry the correct documentation for your beloved pet, depending on where you are flying. If you are planning on flying with your pet, you may consult with us beforehand so that we can make any necessary arrangements and advise you accordingly.
