Private Jet Charter,
Cleared for Anywhere.

Private jet charter costs typically range from $3,500 per hour for a very light jet to $20,000+ per hour for a large-cabin heavy jet. Key factors include aircraft type, route distance, repositioning, and handling costs. Every Icarus Jet quote is all-in with no hidden fees, delivered within 60 minutes.

Share your dates, passenger count, and preferences. We source vetted Part 135 (or foreign equivalent) operators, present tailored options, and manage the trip end to end, including ground handling, catering, and crew logistics.

Icarus Jet is an ARGUS-registered broker and NBAA member, founded and run by active pilots. Every flight uses ARGUS-audited or Wyvern-certified operators, the two highest safety benchmarks in private aviation, and in 15 years and 5,259+ flights we have maintained a 100% safety record.

Yes. Beyond charter, we run a full international trip support division covering permits, fuel, ground handling, and crew logistics, which is why crews and flight departments in over 30 countries rely on us.

We can arrange most charters with 24 to 48 hours notice, and same-day is often possible on well-served routes. For peak weeks in any destination, holidays, major events, ski season, booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead gets you better aircraft choice and pricing.

An empty leg is a repositioning flight, an aircraft flying without passengers to its next pickup. Booking one can cut charter costs by 30 to 75 percent if your dates and route line up. See our current empty leg offers.

Usually dedicated business aviation airports closer to the city than the main hub: Dallas Love Field or Addison instead of DFW, Luton or Farnborough instead of Heathrow, Van Nuys instead of LAX. Each of our destination hubs lists the airports we recommend for that city and why.

Very light jets seat 2 to 4, light jets 5 to 8, midsize and super midsize 7 to 10, and large-cabin aircraft up to 16. For bigger groups we also arrange group charters on airliner-type aircraft.

Yes, pets travel in the cabin with you on most charters. International routes need destination-specific paperwork, which our trip support team handles; entry rules vary by country, so tell us about your pet when you request the quote.

An operator holds the air operator certificate and physically flies the aircraft; a broker sources and vets operators on your behalf, then manages the trip. Icarus Jet is an ARGUS-registered broker, which means we are not tied to one fleet and can match the right aircraft to each route rather than selling you whatever we happen to own. See our broker versus operator guide.

A jet card is prepaid block hours at a fixed hourly rate, giving guaranteed availability and predictable pricing. On-demand charter is priced per trip and is usually cheaper if you fly infrequently or with flexible dates. Cards make sense above roughly 25 hours a year. See our jet card guide.

Most charters can be arranged with 24 to 48 hours notice, and same-day departures are often possible on well-served routes. Every quote is returned within 60 minutes, all-in with no hidden fees.

Business aviation safety depends on the operator, not the aircraft class, which is why vetting matters more than anything else in the booking. Every flight Icarus Jet arranges uses ARGUS-audited or Wyvern-certified operators, the two highest independent safety benchmarks, and across 15 years and 5,259+ flights we have maintained a 100% safety record.

An all-in Icarus Jet quote covers the aircraft and crew, fuel, landing and handling fees, catering, and applicable taxes for the routing you asked for. Positioning flights, overnight crew costs, and de-icing are itemised where they apply, so nothing appears on the invoice that was not on the quote.

Yes. One-way charters are common, though pricing depends on where the aircraft is based and where it needs to go next, since an empty repositioning leg may be charged. Matching your route to an aircraft already in position, or booking an empty leg, is usually the cheapest way to fly one way.
