Private jet de-icing at Jackson Hole Airport

JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., Nov. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — New Flight Charters is again covering de-icing and hangar charges this winter season nationwide up to $2,500. Along with the industry’s only Best Price Guarantee and final cost guarantee on every charter, the company makes chartering easy, reliable, and the best pricing available industry wide.

Private Jet Charter at Jackson Hole Airport

New Flight Charters is the only pay-as-you-go charter broker or charter operator to fully or partially cover de-icing charges without any additional costs, mark-up or fees. De-icing and hangar costs are paid from a company reserve, which reflects the company’s commitment to a higher service level.

With 21 successful years and the same core charter team for two decades, New Flight Charters is arguably the most experienced group in the industry.

Flyers simply review a summary of best available options and quotes for their flight without any commitment to book. Quotes are total all-included and best-price-guaranteed, no membership fees, buy-ins, or unexpected invoices after the trip. 

“No one likes getting an invoice for additional charges after a trip,” commented Rick Colson, New Flight Charters’ founder and president. “As a pay-as-you-go charter broker, we are only as good as our last trip. So every trip experience must be good, or we may not see that client again. That’s a different focus than jet cards and memberships who already have a client’s large investment and their job then is to maximize profits. Service level each flight is our priority. That seems to be waning overall in the jet charter industry.”

Who Typically Pays for Private Jet De-icing?

Responsibility for de-icing charges varies depending on the type of flight company or program: jet charter, jet card or jet membership.

On-Demand Private Jet Charter (standard industry model) – De-icing is an additional charge. Charter operators and brokers bill the client separately for any de-icing or hangar costs.

Jet Card Programs – Major jet cards include de-icing costs, essentially as pre-paid, as part of their hourly rates. Minor or broker jet cards bill the client separately for any de-icing or hangar costs.

Jet Membership Programs – Most programs bill the member by invoice after the trip. Premium programs typically include any de-icing costs, essentially as pre-paid, as part of the annual fee or hourly rates.

Why is Private Jet De-icing So Expensive?

Many components go into the cost of de-icing aircraft. Costs can vary depending on the airport, region and weather. Popular winter resort airports such as Jackson Hole, Aspen, Eagle, Telluride, Sun Valley and others have higher or much higher de-icing fees. Jackson Hole and Aspen rank as the most expensive airports in the U.S. for private aircraft de-icing.

The ranking of cost components for typical general aviation airport de-icing operations, from high to low;

  1. De-icing fluid itself is generally around half the total cost
  2. De-icing trucks; acquisition, maintenance, fuel
  3. Personnel resources to manage and perform de-icing, plus training & certification
  4. De-icing pad at many airports, fluid recovery cost and maintenance
  5. FBO deicing fluid storage facility/tanks/management
  6. FBO liability insurance premium increases to cover de-icing application

 

In addition, many airports maintain two types of de-icing fluid which may increases costs. Type I de-icing fluid (orange) is for removing existing snow and ice from aircraft surfaces, and Type IV anti-icing fluid (green) for preventing ice & snow from collecting while taxiing or waiting for departure.

    Jet Charter Pricing Q & A:
    Q: Can I get a private jet charter flight for under $10,000?

    A: It’s very rare. If a flight of 1-hour or less matches up with a light jet empty leg, it may be under $10,000 total.  Executive turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 or King Air series will typically be under $10,000 for a 1-hour flight or same-day round trip in many parts of the country.  See example costs above.

    Q: What about the articles I see about empty legs for dirt cheap, same as airline fares, or even 1/2 price?

    A: There is a market for all flights, and a well-fitting empty leg will typically be around 75% of standard pricing. Keep in mind, Empty Legs are a convenient marketing angle to attract interest.  Like they say, if it sounds too good to be true…

    Q: How far in advance is best for quotes and booking? The earlier the better?

    A: Not usually. Different from the airlines, the best jet charter quotes and availability are less than 2 months in advance, often less than 1 month. Typically specific aircraft availability and pricing are not set further in advance.

    Q: When is the best time to find an empty leg?

    A: Most jet charters book less than 2 weeks in advance, so that is when the most empty legs become available in aircraft schedules.

    Q: I hear about floating fleets with one-way pricing, what is that?

    A: The biggest trend in jet charter the past decade is specific fleets that string one-way flights together in their schedules, reducing the positioning costs of traditional charters, thus allowing for reduced ‘one-way’ pricing. These are often the best cost options for one-way flights of 2 hours or more. These are the same fleets most jet cards and memberships use to minimize their costs below the rates their customers are paying.

    Q: Are there exceptions? If a jet is flying empty anyway, won’t they take me for cheap for at least some income?

    A: There is a market for flights in the charter industry, so each flight has a market value even up to hours before. Also, flying under charter’s FAA Part-135 regulations is more restrictive, expensive and consuming than flying empty repositioning under Part-91.

    Q: The airline tickets for this trip are so expensive, if 6 of us chartered our own jet could it be similar or not much more?

    A: See the above actual average costs

    Q: Are the above example charter costs your set rates or guaranteed?

    A: No, but they are typical and what we would expect as every-day best in the charter market. For a specific date and itinerary quotes may be a little lower or a bit higher, however we would expect in most cases to be in this range. We do have the widest availability and guaranteed best price industry-wide.

    Q: How can I get a quick real estimate of what a flight might cost, for our decision-making?

    A: Jet charter has so many variables, get helpful easy answers from a friendly expert at 888-701-3843 (no sales pitches, guilt or commitment).
