Safety comparison and key differences
Private jets operated by Part 135 certified carriers have safety records comparable to commercial airlines. Both maintain excellent safety standards, but each offers unique advantages.
Both Part 135 certified private jets and Part 121 commercial airlines maintain excellent safety records with accident rates among the lowest in all forms of transportation. The choice between private and commercial should be based on convenience, schedule, and budget rather than safety concerns - both are extremely safe when operated by certified carriers.

Real data on private aviation safety
Data-driven insights into private jet safety demonstrate the excellent safety record of certified private aviation operations.
These statistics apply to Part 135 certified operators (commercial charter). Part 91 operations (owner-flown private aircraft) have higher accident rates. Always choose Part 135 certified operators for maximum safety. Our platform only works with fully certified, audited operators meeting the highest safety standards.
Top-rated aircraft with advanced safety systems
Modern business jets incorporate multiple redundant safety systems, advanced avionics, and cutting-edge technology. Here are the industry leaders in safety.
Security procedures and TSA requirements
Yes, private jets have security procedures, though they differ from commercial airlines. Private aviation security is streamlined but still comprehensive.
While private jet security is less visible than commercial airline security, it remains robust. The key differences:
How passengers contribute to safe flights
While we handle the technical aspects of safety, passengers play an important role in maintaining a safe flight environment.
Always listen to and comply with all instructions from the flight crew, especially during safety briefings and emergencies.
Arrive on time with all required documentation, follow baggage restrictions, and inform us of any special needs or medical conditions.
If you observe anything that concerns you regarding safety, please inform the crew or contact us immediately.
Comply with all aviation regulations including prohibited items, smoking policies, and seatbelt requirements.
Common safety questions answered
Yes, private jets are extremely safe. All operators must hold FAA Part 135 certification, pilots have ATP licenses with extensive training, and aircraft undergo rigorous maintenance. Private jets have accident rates comparable to commercial airlines when operated by certified carriers, with additional safety benefits like personalized service and direct routing avoiding congested airspace.
Private jets operated by Part 135 certified carriers have safety records comparable to commercial airlines. Key advantages include: newer aircraft with advanced safety systems, more experienced pilots (higher minimum hour requirements), less congested routing, smaller airports with less traffic, and personalized safety briefings. Both private and commercial aviation maintain excellent safety standards.
The safest private jets include the Gulfstream G650/G700 (advanced avionics and Enhanced Vision Systems), Bombardier Global 7500 (fly-by-wire controls), Dassault Falcon 8X (triple-engine redundancy), and Embraer Praetor 600 (synthetic vision and autothrottle). All modern business jets meet rigorous FAA/EASA certification standards with multiple redundant safety systems.
Yes, private jets have security procedures, though different from commercial airlines. Passengers are verified against TSA watch lists, luggage is screened, and pilots undergo TSA security clearances and background checks. Private terminals (FBOs) provide expedited screening - typically 15-20 minutes vs 2+ hours for commercial flights. International flights follow full customs and immigration protocols.
Private jet safety statistics show Part 135 operators (certified charter) have accident rates of approximately 0.84 per 100,000 flight hours, comparable to commercial airlines at 0.16 per 100,000 hours. The fatality risk for Part 135 operations is significantly lower than driving (1 in 1.4 million flights vs 1 in 114 for car accidents). Safety improves annually due to technology advances.
Private jets are significantly safer than driving. The fatality risk per trip is approximately 1 in 1.4 million for Part 135 private jets vs 1 in 114 for automobile travel. Flying private is roughly 12,000 times safer than driving the same distance. Commercial and certified private aviation are among the safest forms of transportation.
Private jet operators must hold FAA Part 135 Air Carrier Certificates (or EASA equivalent internationally). This requires: proven operational capability, aircraft maintenance programs, pilot training programs, operations manuals, and ongoing compliance. Operators also obtain ARGUS Platinum or Wyvern Wingman safety ratings through independent audits verifying adherence to highest safety standards.
Private jets undergo multiple inspection levels: pre-flight checks before every flight, daily/weekly inspections, 100-hour inspections, annual inspections, and progressive/phase inspections based on flight hours. Major inspections occur every 12-18 months. All maintenance follows FAA-approved programs with complete digital tracking. Any maintenance discrepancies ground the aircraft until resolved.
