Houston charter clients fly everything from single-engine pistons up to airliner-size aircraft, and the right one depends on your route, your group, and how much baggage is coming with you. Below are the three kinds of charter we arrange. Every flight is operated by a certified air carrier that has been through our internal due diligence.
Passenger Air Charter
Most of what we arrange out of Houston is passenger charter: energy executives running to Midland and back in a day, families heading to the Gulf or the Caribbean, corporate groups moving to a meeting together, and patients and relatives coming in to the Texas Medical Center.
Aircraft categories run from pistons and turboprops, through light, midsize, and super-midsize jets, up to heavy and long-range jets for transcontinental and international legs. Turboprops and light jets handle the Texas and Gulf Coast runs economically. Heavy and long-range jets are what you want for Europe or a nonstop to the West Coast against the wind.
For groups above nineteen passengers, the aircraft required would fall into regional airliner, or airliner-size. Those trips operate under a different set of FAA rules, and we cover that on our safety page.
You do not need to arrive at a category before you call. Tell us the route, the headcount, and what you are bringing, and we will shortlist the aircraft that fit and explain the trade-offs between them.
Air Cargo Charter
Houston moves a lot of time-critical freight, and the energy and petrochemical sector is the reason. Drilling components, replacement parts for a plant that is down, oversized equipment that will not fit in a commercial hold: we arrange the aircraft and crew to move it.
We charter the full aircraft rather than booking space on someone else’s. Tell us the weight, the dimensions, where it is going, and when it has to be there, and we will come back with options.
Medical/Air Ambulance
Arranging medical flights and air ambulance flights all over the world, we have the contacts and relationships to make it happen fast. Whether you are carrying just an oxygen tank for yourself and want privacy, or you’re the person in charge of getting an accident victim or medically unstable person to a hospital, we can assist you. We offer quick response times, and people that care.
Talk Through the Options
If you are not sure which category fits your trip, that is a normal place to start. Call 1-888-987-5387 or send us your route and passenger count, and we will narrow it down for you. You can also read how we choose which Houston airport suits a given aircraft. Hobby, Bush Intercontinental and Ellington are all run by the Houston Airport System.
