Charter Terms, Explained

FBO: Fixed-base operator. The private terminal where you meet your aircraft, with a lounge, parking and ground handling.
Part 135: The FAA rules for on-demand commercial flights. US charters we arrange are flown by operators certified under these rules; abroad, by operators holding the local equivalent.
ARGUS and Wyvern: Independent aviation safety auditors. Their ratings look at pilot experience, maintenance and safety management.
Empty leg: A flight with no passengers booked, usually repositioning, sold as a discounted one-way trip.
Occupied hour: An hour flown with passengers on board. Quotes may also include unoccupied repositioning hours.
Tail number: The aircraft’s registration. We tell you the tail number before you fly so you know exactly which aircraft you are getting.
