Hi - Blog 4 for the last day of June 2008! A lot of my friends and clients ask me about the aircraft I deal in. I can provide charter for anything from a simple and efficient turbo prop thru a luxury airliner for several hundred passengers. Most of our clients will use light thru heavy private jets. I have developed a jet cheat sheet which will give some basic stats. The most common criteria for selecting a jet include passenger count, range of trip, ability to take fuel stops or not.
Regarding Virgincharter.com, The high–quality aircraft listed on VirginCharter.com are operated by our network of federally-licensed, third-party direct air carriers. These FAA–certified Part 135 or Part 121 Air Charter Carriers meet both FAA requirements and additional high standards set by yours truly, Virgin Charter.
