Why is private jet charter so popular?
There are over 5300 airports around the United States that can accommodate a private aircraft. Compare that to the fewer than 500 airports served by commercial airlines and you begin to understand the most obvious of time savings associated with private aircraft travel. According to a recent survey people are 60% more productive on private aircraft over commercial travel.

Do you require membership fees?
Absolutely not! That’s the beauty of our business model…Fly When You Want. Pay When You Fly. Others would have you believe that you need to pay upwards of $100,000 to have “access” to a network of aircraft. At Executive Charter Services we believe that your money works harder for you in your pocket than in ours. We earn your business one flight at a time.

How do you differ from fractional ownership?
Why settle for a fractional share when you can have the whole plane? Fractional programs are shared ownership of one specific aircraft--typically with 8 others. The ECS pricing model gives you the flexibility to choose between jet classes so you can select the right aircraft for each trip: heavy jets for long trips; light jets for shorter trips and mid-sized jets for trips in between.

What is your safety record?
Safety is our top priority and we have the safety records to prove it. All charter aircraft are subject to very strict FAA rules regulating their use and operation. The FAA is specifically stringent when it comes to pilot qualifications and maintenance requirements. Further, the aircraft and companies used by Executive Charter Services have all been subjected to intense scrutiny and inspection by one of three independent aircraft-auditing firms - ARG/US, FlightSafety, or Wyvern.

Who uses Executive Charter Services?
Many of our clients are former fractional aircraft owners and former “jet card” members who grew tired of spending so much up front with so little in return. We count among our several in the Fortune 100, top executives from the venture capital and private equity industries, sales teams, as well as many high-net worth individuals-including several A-list actors, celebrities and athletes.
