Jet Charter NYC arranges flights for energy companies and the people who work with them, from executives and investors based in New York to field crews and equipment bound for remote sites.
Executive and investor site visits
A visit to a field operation in Texas, North Dakota or the Gulf Coast can take two days on airline connections. On a charter, the group leaves from an airport close to home, such as Teterboro or Westchester County Airport in White Plains, and lands at the field nearest the site. Depending on the distance, some of these trips can be flown out and back in one day.
Crew changes and remote fields
Crew rotations run on the project’s schedule, and the destinations are often far from any airline service. A charter puts the whole crew on one aircraft and lands them as close to the work as the airport allows. Some remote strips are short or unpaved, and a turboprop can often use fields that jets cannot. Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular strip is the operator’s call for that aircraft.
Most crew flights we arrange run under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules written for on-demand, for-hire charter. Once the group runs past nineteen passengers, the trip calls for an airliner-size aircraft and no longer falls under FAR Part 135. Those flights operate under FAR Part 121 or a foreign equivalent, which generally carries stricter crew and operating requirements than both Part 91 and Part 135.
International projects
For work overseas, landing permits and authorizations are applied for after the trip is booked and paid, and the local authorities sometimes set the timing. Coming home, Teterboro and Westchester County Airport can both clear a flight arriving from abroad, so the team does not need to land at one of the airline airports first.
Equipment and urgent parts
When a pump, a part or a piece of drilling equipment is holding up production, it cannot wait for space on a scheduled flight. Give us the dimensions, the weight and the pickup and delivery points at the start. Your advisor will check them against the aircraft and the loading method, and our air cargo charter page explains how those flights are arranged.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
New York-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
New York has more airports to choose from than almost any other city, and the right one depends on where you are starting from on the ground. Teterboro, about eight miles from Midtown, is usually the closest to Manhattan and has a 100,000 lb operating-weight limit, Westchester County Airport in White Plains suits Westchester and Greenwich, and Republic and MacArthur serve Long Island. LaGuardia, JFK and Newark take private flights too, but each needs a reservation or approval under an FAA order, so we usually start elsewhere. Several of these airports can clear a flight arriving from abroad. Air traffic control delays reach the business-aviation airports as well as the airline ones, and from roughly November through March, de-icing can add time to a departure.
