What's inside a charter quote

Eight line items, one total. We publish every line so you know exactly what you're paying for — not just a lump sum.

  1. 01
    Block time

    The bulk of every quote. Block time is wheels-up to wheels-down, plus 15 minutes of taxi at each end. We charge our internal wet-lease rate — fuel, crew and insurance included — never marked up via a broker.

    Landing & handling

    Every touchdown has a landing fee (paid to the airport) and a handling fee (paid to the FBO or ground handler). Le Bourget is €4,200. Riga is €1,400. We pass these at cost, no markup.

    Overflight & permits

    Some countries charge for passing through their FIR. Crossing 3+ borders typically adds €450 per leg. EU internal flights are usually fee-free.

    Crew overnights

    EASA duty rules cap pilots at ~10 flight hours. Longer missions require overnighting the crew at destination — 2 pilots × €280 hotel = €560 per night.

    Positioning

    If the jet isn't at your departure airport, we ferry it in. We subsidise this 40% when the return trip is within 48 hours — it's in our interest to keep utilisation high.
