In a world where time, flexibility, and efficiency have become strategic assets, charter flights are increasingly standing out as a smart alternative to commercial air travel. Whether for business trips, group travel, or specific logistical needs, EQUINOX offers a tailor-made flight experience, far beyond the standards of regular aviation.
Total flexibility and control
One of the most valued benefits of charter flights is the freedom they offer. Unlike the fixed schedules and limited routes of commercial airlines, a charter flight allows you to:
- Choose your departure and arrival airports, including secondary airports that are often closer to your final destination;
- Set the schedule based on your needs;
- Customize the aircraft and onboard services to your preferences.
This level of flexibility is made possible by expanded airport access: over 5,000 airports are available to private aircraft in the U.S., compared to just about 500 for commercial aviation. The same holds true in Canada, where a vast regional network is used exclusively by business aviation.
A major time saver
In business, every minute counts. A charter flight drastically reduces total travel time by offering:
- No waiting at check-in counters;
- Accelerated security screening;
- No unnecessary layovers or connections.
A private flight saves an average of 4 to 6 hours per trip. That’s a strategic advantage for executives, production teams, or event groups working on tight schedules.
A personalized in-flight experience
Chartering a flight means enjoying a travel environment that is comfortable, discreet, and fully customizable:
- Cabin layout tailored to the number of passengers;
- On-demand services (catering, Wi-Fi, specialized equipment);
- Guaranteed privacy and peace of mind.
This level of personalization is especially valuable in sensitive or high-profile contexts: diplomatic missions, corporate events, artist tours, and more.
An optimized solution for groups
Contrary to popular belief, charter flights can be cost-effective for group travel. The overall aircraft cost, split among several passengers, can approach—or even compete with—the price of a business class ticket, while offering a much higher service standard.
For example, renting a light jet, ideal for a group of 6 to 8 passengers, costs between $5,000 and $7,000 per flight hour. For a more economical option, a turboprop aircraft ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 per hour. It’s a strategic investment when you consider the productivity gains, reduced logistical stress, and enhanced professional image.
Charter flights are far from a luxury whim: they’re a real, tailored response to modern mobility challenges. Flexible, efficient, and adaptable to any situation, they allow you to travel on your own terms. At EQUINOX, we believe every client deserves a service designed just for them.
