Flying By VIP Charter


VIP charter is becoming increasingly popular as busy international airports means lengthy queues, luggage going missing and flying just becoming a means to an end instead of an adventure.

Flexibility is one of the major advantages of using our VIP charter services. At Flaps International we try to recreate the performance and delight that flying once epitomised by using smaller, more easy to reach airports, private terminals and remote check-in facilities. Measure VIP charter with 'Air Sardine' operating to and from an airport 50 miles from home or office and you soon see the benefits.

Unlike flying with regular operators using VIP charter means your itinerary can be as flexible as you would like. If the plane is due to take off at 9.00 am all you need to do is show up 15 minutes before your departure rather than two or three hours. If you wish to correct your calendar at short notice just give us a call and we can re-book your flight.

As many private planes are smaller than the average aeroplane this means we can use local airports rather than the major airports. Using local airports means that you can land quicker at your purpose thereby saving you time. We can even offer you a door to door service by coordinating a taxi to pick you up and drop you off.

If you use provincial landing strips you can limit the problems associated with having to queue up waiting for security checks.. Avoiding security is still not an option but rather than having to wait in line with thousands of people you might be only one of two in the queue.

On reflection of 9/11 security is a real concern to think about. Using regional airports means you are unlikely to be a target of terrorism. If we do fly to any major airports you will not go through the usual channels. Instead you will be directed to the private air charter terminal.

If you are thinking what type of jet you will fly in, this will depend on how many people are going to fly and where you wish to fly to. The most economically sized aircraft for groups flying domestically, or within Western Europe, are those carrying up to four, up to eight, up to 19 then up to 29, 34 and 42. The next jumps are around 70 then 120. The big intercontinental routes tend to be VIP configured aircraft. At the opposite end, if you require an air taxi service, you can either hire a helicopter or charter a light aircraft.

Renting a private jet can be remarkably economic. For example, if you needed to fly several people to Nice for a business meeting this will probably mean putting these people up in a nice hotel for the night. What happens if your meeting runs on the next day? VIP charter means you can have the aircraft on standby, ready to fly you back at any time. Should you need to stay an extra day the aeroplane can stay with you overnight.

Increasingly people are coming to realise that private jet charter is a more efficient, more civilised and increasingly affordable way of flying.
