jet charter

Hired luxury aircraft

Jet charter is the rental of a private aircraft for a specific trip, as opposed to booking seats on a scheduled commercial flight.

Charter customers get the entire plane—choosing departure times, airports, and passenger lists.

The term covers both the service and the arrangement itself: We arranged a jet charter to avoid the layover, jet charter companies.
