“I love working for Aviation Charters because I am surrounded by highly driven and knowledgeable people who genuinely care about the safety and service of every flight we perform.”
We elevate aviation to an art form.
Since mankind first took flight more than a century ago, the title “Aviator” has been used to distinguish pilots that are in a class all their own. The extra level of skill, dedication and safety it takes to achieve this title is what we demand of every pilot who sits in our cockpit.
Our team of FAA-rated Airline Transport Pilots have collectively amassed more than one hundred thousand hours of flying time and have each surpassed the Argus and Wyvern standards. Each Aviation Charters pilot is type-rated by the FAA for every type of aircraft they fly, and each holds the proper certification for those aircraft.
SETTING HIGHER STANDARDS FOR SKILL & SAFETY
Our Aviators train every six months to achieve and maintain our higher standards of experience and safety. Each pilot logs simulator time to hone their skills on aircraft operations and instrument weather flying. They are tested regularly on operator policies and procedures, as well as proper international and overwater operations. All participate in live drills to apply and execute their knowledge of proper safety and security protocols, and each is trained and qualified to handle hazardous materials.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS FOR SERVICE
Aviation Charters holds itself to a higher standard of customer service. This starts with a smile, handshake and warm welcome for each passenger, and it extends to the comfort and service our pilots provide from departure to destination. Because service is just as essential to The Power of Yes as every other aspect of your trip.
