What is the jet charter broker payment schedule 1) from...

New postby Valda » 25 Oct 2012, 17:23

What is the jet charter broker payment schedule 1) from client 2) to part 135 operator?

I am new to the jet charter business and I'm caught up on the payment schedule.

when booking the flight, when does the client (the traveler) pay the broker?
when does the broker pay the part 135?

from what i have seen it looks like the broker fronts the cost of the flight to the 135 and receives payment only after the flight has taken place. is that right? as a small business my cash flow is limited and i can not afford to carry the cost. any suggestions?

I am also not sure how to deal with the following situation.
a prospective traveler calls me on a sunday to book a flight with just a few hours notice. all parties agree that they would prefer to avoid credit card charges and opt to do a wire transfer but, the banks are closed til monday. is cc the only option?

thanks for your help!

There is no universal standard set of charges and fees for this kind of operation. Each independent operator sets their own fees and negotiates with the broker for whatever percentage of the trip they can get.

Charter jets charge by the flight hour. You have to have very deep pockets to lease one.

Why did FBI let Osama charter jet out of US after 9/11?

New postby Cornell » 25 Oct 2012, 17:23

Michael Moore got a lot of heat for running the story in FAHRENHEIT 9/11 about Osama's relatives flying out of the US on chartered planes after 9/11 when most planes were still grounded.

Now a recently released document showed that Osama himself chartered the plane. The group that got the doc is the conservative Judicial Watch.

Now what the hell is up with that?

Did the Bush people:

A. Not really believe Osama did 9/11

B. Not want to catch him because it would extinguish support for War on Terror

C. Not know their @ss from a hole in the ground.

I tend not to believe C myself, since every "mistake" they have made has been in the direction of perpetual war for perpetual profits.

World Airways does this route, but with a stop in Frankfurt,Germany using McDonnell Douglas MD-11/ER aircraft.

The times are: 8 hrs 50 min for Atlanta to Frankfurt

5 hrs 15 min for Frankfurt to Kuwait City.

Baghdad to Kuwait is an 1 hour helicopter/resupply plane ride.
