The Service

At Icarus Jet we transcend traditional aircraft management to offer an all-encompassing solution for private jet aircraft management, with operational bases in the key aviation hubs of Dallas, London, Kenya and Dubai.
One dispatch centre, one point of contact
Icarus Jet manages trip planning and logistics for all flight activity out of our dispatch operations centre. That centre is the single point of contact for pre-flight planning, flight following and post-flight reporting.
An Icarus Jet team member is assigned to every flight and is the central point of contact from beginning to end of any flight or series of flights.

Our platform includes a flight risk assessment tool used to meet the operational and safety needs of flight departments, designed to keep you compliant.
To dispatch safe and legal flights, our platform keeps your operation current with crew training and duty and rest, all aspects of aircraft maintenance, and existing requirements.
