Bodyguard Security & Armored Transportation

Armored vehicle alongside a private jet for a secure ground transfer

Jet Charter Philadelphia can coordinate security arrangements and armored ground transport alongside charter flights from Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, where a trip calls for it.

The flying itself already provides a good deal of what people are asking for. A private terminal keeps you away from the public concourse at both ends, the manifest stays confidential, and the aircraft goes when you do.

Where the exposure actually sits

On most trips the road legs are the part worth planning, not the flight. Armored vehicles and security escorts at either end can be arranged through third-party vendors with enough notice before your flight. Tell your advisor what the trip involves and we will coordinate it as part of the booking.

Discretion as standard

Passenger names and itinerary details are confidential on every flight we arrange, and are shared only with the operator and the private terminal running the trip.

Where a close protection team travels with the principal, count them in the passenger numbers when you give us the headcount, because they change which aircraft fits.

Departures usually run from Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE), where access to the aircraft is directly from the private terminal.

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.
