Aircraft charter is fast becoming a popular choice among passengers these days. Passengers such as government entities, VIPs, tour groups and corporate personnel find it convenient to use the services of passenger aircraft charter. The advantage of this type of travel is that any number of people, from one or two to hundreds can charter passenger aircraft of any size, and travel anywhere in the world. Passenger airline charter flights are comfortable and luxurious, and can meet customers' budget and flight requirements.

Passenger aircraft charter has several advantages over conventional commercial flights. Chartered flights can make unscheduled landings to destinations and are not bound by regulations and constraints that commercial airlines are subjected to. Commercial passengers are subject to time consuming security checks, and long queues, which add to time wastage and hassles when it comes to flights. Charter passengers are not inconvenienced by these constraints, which makes flying easier and stress free. With chartered flights, passengers can travel where they want, when they want, and in comfort. Another advantage of passenger aircraft charter is that they are able to access remote places with smaller airports that commercial flights will not be able to.

There are many types of aircraft suitable for passenger travel. Airbus jetliners are popular choices and range from low cost carriers to full service airlines that fly longer routes. Narrow body aircraft such as the Airbus A320 is a popular choice and offers a single aisle aircraft with seating capacity of 100 passengers or less. This aircraft is most suited for regional and short haul flights and is ideal for tour groups, government or VIP travel and for crew changes aboard ships and oilrigs. Wide body aircraft is suitable for passenger charter for 200 to 600 passengers and have multiple travel classes and twin aisles. Such aircraft are suitable for long haul flights with maximum capacity. Turboprop aircraft are ideal for domestic commuters and are excellent choices for take-off from rough terrain and short runways. These are ideal for landing at smaller airports. Popular turboprop aircraft include ATR 42-500 and DHC-8-100 Dash 8.

There are several air charter companies that offer passenger aircraft for all types of purposes, and handle requirements from initial enquiry to the confirmation of your request. Services also include supervision of all aspects of the flight before flying such as the charter brief as well as ensuring that all needs and requirements are fulfilled during the flight.
