Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges charter flights for energy companies working across Pennsylvania, where the gas fields in the north and west of the state sit a long way from any airline hub and the drive from Philadelphia takes most of a day.
Two kinds of trip come up most often. The first is people: executives heading to a site visit, engineers and crews rotating in and out, a board flying to a facility and back inside a day. The second is freight, and it is usually urgent, because a component that has stopped a job has to be on site before the next shift starts.
Reaching the fields
Turboprops do a lot of this work. They handle shorter runways well, which matters when the flying needs to reach Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Williamsport or State College rather than a major airport. For longer moves and larger groups, Pittsburgh International takes jets of any size, and Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE) is usually the eastern end of the trip.
Where the load matters more than the passengers, air cargo charter puts a full aircraft at your disposal for the shipment alone.
How we work on this
Schedules in this sector move at short notice, and we plan for that rather than around it. If you give us the site rather than the airport, we will work out which field gets your people closest to it.
Every operator we put in front of you has been through our own review first. We confirm certification, look at safety and incident history, and check that the pilots are experienced and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on.
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.
