Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges charter flights to concerts and music festivals from Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, for artists and crew, for corporate and sponsor groups, and for people simply going to the show.
Two very different jobs sit under this heading. Touring travel is a routing problem, where a run of dates has to connect and the aircraft has to keep up with the schedule. Audience travel is a timing problem, where everyone wants to leave after the encore rather than the following morning.
Touring and crew movements
Where a tour is moving people and equipment together, tell us the weight and the volume of the gear at the same time as the headcount. Equipment often decides the aircraft before the passenger count does. Above nineteen passengers the trip moves into regional airliner or airliner-size aircraft operating under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards.
Heavy or oversized production freight can move separately as air cargo charter.
Festival weekends
Festival airfields are usually small and get very busy for a few days. A slot may be required and parking may be limited, so book early and expect your advisor to raise both.
Departures around Philadelphia usually run from Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE).
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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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
Winter is the one that catches people out, because de-icing takes time on the ramp before an aircraft can depart and a January departure can sit longer than the same trip in June. Summer brings thunderstorms that move through the corridor quickly and close airspace while they pass. Your advisor watches both ahead of your date and will call you before you call us.
