How group charter booking works
- 1
Fix the head count and dates
How many are travelling, the dates and the airports at both ends.
- 2
Match the aircraft
Seat count, runway length and flight distance narrow it to one or two types.
- 3
Agree the schedule and baggage
Departure times, the return flight and any extra baggage or equipment.
- 4
Send the passenger list
Names and ID details for everyone flying are needed before departure.
Group charter cost
Full pricing guide- Aircraft size
- More seats means a bigger aircraft and a higher hourly rate.
- Flying hours and positioning
- The flights themselves, plus flying the aircraft to your departure airport and back to base.
- Waiting or empty return
- An aircraft that waits at the destination, or flies home empty and returns, is charged either way.
- Airport and handling charges
- Larger aircraft pay higher landing, parking and ground handling charges.
- Catering and extras
- On-board catering and any special requests.
Is group charter right for you?
Best for
- Companies flying staff to a conference, offsite or incentive trip
- Families moving guests to a destination wedding
- Sports teams, tour groups and event crews
- Organisations moving a large group to a place with few flights
When to book
- When the group is too big for a private jet but needs to travel together
- When the destination has few scheduled flights, or none from your city
- When everyone must arrive at the same time for a fixed event
Before you book
- An airliner needs an airport that can handle it. Runway length and airport facilities rule some destinations out.
- The price is for the aircraft, so the cost per person falls as more seats are filled. A half-empty aircraft costs the same.
- If the aircraft waits at the destination for days, or flies home empty and comes back, that time is part of the price.
- Passenger names and ID details are needed in advance, and late changes take time.
Group charter FAQs
How do I book a group aircraft charter in India?
Share the number of people, the dates and the airports at both ends. The aircraft that can carry the group and use both airports are found and quoted, with the return flight and any waiting shown separately.
How many people can fly on a group charter?
From about 50 on a regional jet such as the ERJ 145 up to about 189 on a Boeing 737-800, depending on the aircraft and its seating layout.
Is a group charter cheaper than buying airline tickets?
Sometimes, on routes with few flights or high fares, but not always. The charter price is for the whole aircraft, so it compares best when nearly every seat is filled.
How far in advance should a group charter be booked?
As soon as the date is fixed, because fewer airliners are free for charter than private jets, and a fixed event date leaves no room to move.
What is group charter?
Once a group is bigger than a private jet can carry, buying airline seats means splitting people across flights, chasing the same fares and hoping nobody misses a connection. A group charter puts everyone on one aircraft that leaves when the group is ready, from the airport that suits it, with the whole cabin to itself.
The aircraft are regional airliners and narrow-body jets. On the typical figures in our aircraft list, an ERJ 145 seats about 50, an ATR 72 about 68 to 78, a Q400 about 70 to 90, an ERJ 175 about 76 to 88, and a Boeing 737 about 130 to 189 depending on the model and layout. The turboprops suit shorter runways and regional routes. The jets suit longer flights.
Plan a group charter further ahead than a private jet. Fewer of these aircraft are free for charter at any time, so a fixed date such as a wedding or a conference should be requested as soon as it is known.
