How many passengers can a private jet accommodate?

The number of passengers on a private jet varies depending on the type and size of the aircraft. Typically, private jets can comfortably seat anywhere from 4 to 16 passengers, with a variety of layouts to suit different travel needs. However, if you're planning to travel as part of a larger group, we have a solution for that, too! We invite you to explore our Group Charter service. Designed for larger groups, our Group Charter service ensures that everyone travels together in comfort and style, no matter how many of you there are.

Last-minute bookings? We've got you covered

Emergencies and unexpected plans call for special considerations. Some flights can be arranged within a short notice of 2-4 hours, depending on aircraft and crew availability. Even rural airports and major public holidays at midnight won't stand in your way. Some international destinations require visas and landing permits, with processing times ranging from 1 hour to 4 weeks. For most international flights, we strive to secure landing permits within 24 hours. During peak travel periods, charter services are in high demand, so it's advisable to book well in advance to secure the best price and aircraft availability, especially during the holiday season.

What are the luggage restrictions on private jets?

While private jets typically offer more generous luggage allowances than commercial airlines, the specifics depend on the aircraft type and the nature of your flight. Our team of experts will ensure that every aspect of your journey is carefully considered, with our offer adapted to meet your requirements. Don't hesitate to reach out to us to discuss your luggage needs and any other concerns you may have when making your booking.

Do you offer any membership programmes?

We offer a valued membership programme for our frequent flyers. If you're flying more than 25 hours per year, you might want to consider our Nova Jet Card. Our membership programme is designed to offer frequent flyers enhanced benefits, including fixed hourly rates, guaranteed aircraft availability, and personalised travel support, among other perks.

Can I bring pets on board?

Absolutely! Travelling with your beloved pet has never been easier. We understand how much your furry friends mean to you, which is why we offer a pet-friendly charter experience. We work with a wide range of pet-accommodating private jet operators who prioritise your pet's comfort and safety just as much as yours. When booking with us, just let us know you'll be bringing your pet. We'll handle the rest to get you matched with the most suitable, pet-friendly operator and airport. We can also assist with any pet-related travel advice, from documentation to in-flight pet care tips. Travel without compromise - your pet deserves to enjoy the journey as much as you do.
