Private Jet Charter Companies

Choosing a private jet charter company doesn't mean picking just one. Instead of a single operator's fleet and prices, 2Lun compares 500+ certified charter operators in one place — so you get the best available aircraft and price for every trip.

What is a private jet charter company?

A private jet charter company arranges private flights on demand — providing the aircraft, crew and ground handling for a single trip, with no ownership required. There are two main types: operators, who own and fly the aircraft under an air-carrier certificate, and brokers / marketplaces, who compare and book flights across many operators. 2Lun is a marketplace: you see live availability and transparent pricing across hundreds of vetted operators, instead of being limited to one company's fleet.

Charter broker vs operator — what's the difference?

Two ways to book a private jet, and why it matters.

Operator

Owns and flies the aircraft, holds the FAA Part 135 (or EASA) certificate, employs the crew. You're limited to that company's fleet, bases and pricing. Examples: NetJets, VistaJet, Flexjet.

Broker / Marketplace

Compares and books flights across many operators. You get competing quotes, more aircraft choice and the best price per trip — without contacting each company yourself. This is how 2Lun works.

How to choose a private jet charter company

What to check before you book.

Certification

Confirm the operator holds FAA Part 135 (US) or EASA AOC certification — never charter from an uncertified provider.

Safety audits

Look for third-party safety ratings: ARGUS, Wyvern Wingman or IS-BAO registration.

Aircraft & age

Check the specific tail, aircraft type and age — newer, well-maintained jets mean fewer delays.

Transparent pricing

All-in quotes (crew, fuel, insurance, fees) with no hidden positioning or membership costs.

Insurance

Adequate liability and passenger insurance carried by the operator.

Reputation

Verified reviews and track record. A marketplace shows you ratings across operators at once.

Why compare operators instead of using one company

Booking with a single private jet company ties you to its fleet, bases and pricing — and you rarely know if you're overpaying. A marketplace flips that: for each trip, 2Lun checks 500+ certified operators for live availability and competing quotes, so you charter the best-positioned aircraft at the best price, with no membership or commitment.

Private jet charter companies — FAQ

What is the best private jet charter company?

There is no single "best" company — the right operator depends on your route, aircraft and dates. Large brands (NetJets, VistaJet, Flexjet) run their own fleets, while a broker or marketplace like 2Lun compares 500+ certified operators at once, so you get the best available aircraft and price for each trip instead of being tied to one fleet.

What is the difference between a charter broker and an operator?

An operator owns and flies the aircraft and holds the air-carrier certificate (FAA Part 135 in the US). A charter broker arranges flights across many operators, comparing availability and price for you. 2Lun works as a marketplace — you compare vetted operators directly, with transparent all-in pricing and no markup games.

Are private jet charter companies safe?

Reputable companies fly aircraft operated under strict certification (FAA Part 135 or EASA equivalent) with vetted crews and full insurance. Always check the operator certificate, safety audits (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO) and aircraft age. Every operator on 2Lun is certified, audited and insured.

How much do private jet companies charge?

Charter rates depend on aircraft class and route — roughly $2,500–$18,000 per hour, all-in (crew, fuel, insurance). Some companies add membership or jet-card fees; a marketplace lets you compare per-trip pricing with no commitment. See our private jet cost guide for full breakdowns.

Do I need a broker to charter a private jet?

No, but a broker or marketplace saves you contacting operators one by one. Instead of calling a single company and taking their price, 2Lun shows you live availability and competing quotes across hundreds of operators for the same flight.
