Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges pet-friendly private flights from Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, with your animal in the cabin rather than in a cargo hold.
This is one of the most common reasons people charter for the first time. On a private aircraft the animal travels with you, there is no hold, no separate check-in, and no wait on a hot ramp at either end.
Tell us at the first call
Not every aircraft or operator accepts animals in the cabin, so this has to be raised when you first call rather than once a quote is out. It changes which aircraft we search, and it is much easier to build in at the start.
Bring us the species, the size and weight, and the length of the trip. Depending on the animal and the distance there may be requirements around crating, and those are set by the operator rather than by us.
Larger animals and unusual ones
Big dogs travel comfortably on the right aircraft. Multiple animals, unusual species and anything that will not settle in a cabin are all workable, but they need more notice and sometimes a different aircraft entirely. Where an animal cannot travel in the cabin at all, air cargo charter is the alternative.
Departures 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.
