Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges charter flights for manufacturers across Pennsylvania, moving both people and the parts that keep a line running.
Manufacturing charter splits cleanly in two. On the passenger side it is executives, engineering teams, sales teams and customers traveling to a plant, a supplier or a trade show. On the freight side it is a component that has stopped production, where the cost of the aircraft is small against the cost of the line standing still.
Freight that cannot wait
For a part that has to be on site before the next shift, air cargo charter puts a full aircraft at your disposal. We coordinate the aircraft, the operator and the routing. Tell us the weight, the dimensions and the deadline, and we will size the aircraft to the load.
Short notice is the normal case
Most of this work arrives with very little warning, which is the nature of it. Where an aircraft is available, a trip can often be arranged within a matter of hours. Pennsylvania’s regional fields matter here, because plants are rarely near a major airport. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Reading, Lancaster, the Lehigh Valley and Pittsburgh all take charter aircraft, and which one is right depends on where the plant actually is.
Every flight is operated by a certified air carrier that has been through our review first, and you can expect a competitive quote.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Philadelphia-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Two things shape a Philadelphia departure more than anything else. In winter, de-icing has to happen on the ramp before an aircraft can leave, so a January departure takes longer to get airborne than the same trip in June, and we build that time into your schedule from the start. In summer, thunderstorms move through quickly and close the airspace while they pass. Airport hours matter as well: Philadelphia International has a tower around the clock, Northeast Philadelphia’s closes at 11 p.m., and Wings Field has none at all, so a late arrival can decide which airport makes sense for your trip. Your advisor checks all of it before your date.
