Get started

Need to travel by air at a time to suit your schedule?

Consult our Broker Directory to make it happen, or use the Operator Directory and Trip Planner if you are sourcing directly.

For travellers and flight organisers

A charter broker is a specialist travel agent who will find the most suitable aircraft at the best price for the trip, and manage the charter from first contact to landing, including onward transfer and accommodation where needed.

For air charter professionals

Search operators by aircraft type and location, identify suitable locally based aircraft for a route, and use the trip planner to include handling options and local services at both airports. The planner is designed to list suitable operators, not just those with a subscription.

Resources

Tools built for fast charter sourcing

Simple inputs, useful outputs, and clear next steps.

Brokers represent the client Brokers do not own or operate aircraft, they manage arrangements between the client and the operator.
Safety and standards matter Operators and brokers may reference third-party safety programmes and audits such as ARGUS and Wyvern.
Ask good questions early Clarify what is included in the quote, timing, luggage, and onward transport before confirming.

What is a charter broker, and do you need one?

A broker helps you compare options and coordinate the booking process, especially when schedules, aircraft type, or routing constraints matter.

Charter Broker is a global resource for charter flight procurement, combining broker and operator directories with route planning tools, so you can move quickly and confidently.

What a broker typically does

  • Confirms your requirements, timings, and constraints
  • Sources suitable aircraft via a worldwide network of operators
  • Compares quotes, availability, and routing options
  • Helps coordinate ground handling, catering, and onward transport
  • Supports last-minute changes and contingency planning

Questions to ask before you book

A few practical checks that help avoid surprises and confirm the trip details.

  • What is included in the quote (fees, landing, handling, catering)?
  • Are there any foreseeable extra costs or constraints?
  • How early do we need to arrive, and what is the passenger process?
  • Can the aircraft accommodate luggage, pets, or special items?
  • What happens if timings change, or the aircraft has a technical issue?

Keep your information accurate and discoverable

Directory listings are designed to help procurement teams, brokers, and travellers find the right match. If your information changes, updating it helps everyone.
