charter flight

Privately booked plane

A charter flight is an aircraft journey booked for a specific group or purpose rather than sold seat-by-seat to the public.

Companies, sports teams, or tour operators charter planes for private use: The team took a charter flight to the championship.

Charter flights offer flexibility in scheduling and routing but typically cost more than commercial tickets unless the expense is shared among many passengers.
