Jet Charter Philadelphia arranges private flights for milestone celebrations from Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania, including sweet sixteens, quinceaneras, and bar and bat mitzvahs.
These trips almost always involve a mixed group. Family traveling in from several cities, a set of teenagers, and grandparents who would rather not connect through a hub. A single aircraft leaving from a private terminal solves most of that in one move.
Planning around the group
Passenger count, ages and baggage all shape the aircraft. If the party is above nineteen passengers, the trip moves into regional airliner or airliner-size aircraft operating under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards rather than FAR Part 135.
Where guests are arriving from different places, several smaller aircraft converging on the destination sometimes works better than one large one. Your advisor will run both options.
On board and on the ground
Catering can be arranged with notice, including specific dietary requirements, which on these trips is usually the first question worth asking. Ground transport at either end can be coordinated through a third-party vendor with enough warning.
Departures usually run from Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE), which is closer to most of the northern and western suburbs than Philadelphia International.
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.
