Private Jet Charter Basics

What is the difference between chartering and owning a private jet?

Chartering means you pay per trip with no ownership costs, while owning means you bear acquisition, crew, maintenance, hangar, insurance, and depreciation expenses year-round. Charter gives you jet access on-demand without the multi-million-dollar commitment of ownership.
