Why fly private
A private charter is booked for the trip, not the seat. You choose when to leave, where to land and who travels with you.
Depart at a time that works for your diary, not the airline’s timetable. Same-day departures are often possible, subject to aircraft availability.
Private aircraft can use more airports than the airlines, including regional and business aviation airports, so you arrive nearer your final destination.
A cabin to yourselves for confidential conversations, work or family time, with luggage, golf clubs or skis travelling with you.
One clear quotation that sets out the aircraft, the route and what is included, with no hidden costs, so you can compare like for like.
Two ways to fly
The same service, sized to the trip: a jet for longer sectors and larger groups, an air taxi for short hops and regional airfields.
From a quick interstate flight to a long international sector, we source the right class of jet for your group, your luggage and your range. Light, midsize, super midsize and heavy jets are all available.
For flights of up to about two hours, a turboprop or very light jet can be the sensible, cost-effective choice, and it can use smaller airfields closer to your destination.
Need a helicopter for a city or resort transfer? We arrange those too: see helicopter hire.
Popular routes
From Melbourne to Sydney, about 1 h 20 min by midsize jet, to the Whitsundays and the ski fields of New Zealand. Times are indicative.
The busiest corridor in the country, and the best case for a private jet: a flight of well under two hours, timed to your meeting rather than the timetable.
Victoria to Queensland in about two hours, direct, from the airport that suits you at each end.
Across Bass Strait in about an hour: Tasmania’s food, wine and wilderness, without the connections.
Melbourne to Queenstown in around three hours: the ski fields and the Southern Alps without the connection.
Melbourne to the Whitsundays with no ferry and no connection: a jet landing on Hamilton Island itself.
Coast to coast in about four hours: the longest everyday domestic sector, and the one where a private cabin matters most.
Pets on jets
Pets are welcome on our private jets. No hold, no crate unless you want one, and no handing your pet over at a counter.

Tell us your route, dates, number of passengers and anything special about the trip, using the quote form or by calling us. We source suitable aircraft, send you one clear quotation, and manage the booking from start to finish once you confirm.
The cost depends on the aircraft type, the flight distance, the number of passengers and any extras. You are paying for the aircraft for your trip, not for individual seats. Our guide to charter costs explains what moves the price; for a real figure, send us your route and we will quote.
Advance booking is recommended for peak travel periods, but we can often arrange flights at short notice, including same-day departures, depending on aircraft availability and routing.
An air taxi is an on-demand private flight, booked for the trip rather than the seat, usually on a smaller aircraft for short hops of up to about two hours. A private jet charter is the same idea on a larger scale. Both are arranged the same way: you tell us the trip and we find the aircraft. Read more about air taxi flights.
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing.
