New Flight Charters Posts 72% Increase for October Year-Over-Year, 69% Over Prior Year as New Demand Transforms the Private Jet Industry

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — New Flight Charters, a nationwide leader in on-demand private jet charters since 2004, announced an 72.3% year-over-year increase for October and 68.9% over 2019, more than doubling the industry’s increases for October.

By comparison the Part 135 charter industry increased 33.0% for October according to TraqPak data released by ARGUS International. 

Charter Industry Availability

The company attributes its increases in part to its full-industry aircraft availability, not limited by a defined fleet or specific operator arrangements.  The full charter industry includes 2,722 charter jets in the U.S., plus 778 executive turboprops for economical regional travel.  “When demand is outpacing supply, having wide availability of vetted quality aircraft and operators in every corner of the country for our clients is key,” commented New Flight Charters’ president, Rick Colson.

Flyers can choose their specific aircraft from an array of options and quotes for each flight, sourced per their own preferences for each trip including size, age, make, ratings and amenities, and pay as they go; no membership fee or advance bulk purchase commitment. 

Notably the company received considerable interest from jet card and membership program fliers, turning from their recent limitations, changing terms and costs.  New Flight Charters’ Best Price Guarantee remains in place during the industry’s record-breaking Fall and holiday seasons.

Results by Aircraft Category

For October, light jets (+171.4%) and midsize jets (+76.9%) posted the largest increases while super-midsize and heavy jets combined (+10.1%) were more modest, as demand clearly moved up the scale from charter turboprops (-40.0%)

2021 year-to-date also, charter demand has moved generally up the aircraft scale.  Light and midsize jets climbed 44.0% and 39,7% respectively, while Super-midsize and heavy jets combined climbed a steady 6.5%, while turboprops descended 19.2%.

New Flight Charters has averaged 15.4% annual grown since 2004 with a renowned, long-tenured expert staff, and was named to the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll as a fastest growing U.S. company four separate years.

    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).
