REQUEST VIP arranges private jet charter through licensed third-party operators for one-way, return and multi-city travel. Send the route, dates, passenger list, luggage and schedule priorities; the aviation concierge checks aircraft suitability, airport constraints and the ground plan before presenting a written option subject to availability and operator approval.

Key Facts

  • A useful charter brief covers 5 items: route, schedule, passengers, baggage and special requirements.
  • Aircraft selection depends on runway, payload, range, weather and crew duty limits, not cabin photographs alone.
  • In the United States, paid on-demand charter is normally operated under FAA Part 135; passengers may ask to see the operator’s authorisation.
  • A charter quote can change with positioning, airport and handling fees, taxes, de-icing, catering and schedule revisions.

What does a private aviation concierge arrange?

REQUEST VIP clarifies fixed times, the practical airport, baggage and any pets, equipment, mobility or catering needs. The concierge then compares the operating carrier, aircraft, cabin, hold, airport plan and commercial terms. Exact configuration and substitution rules belong in writing. REQUEST VIP is an independent intermediary; the licensed operator retains operational control and safety responsibility.

How is the aircraft matched to the route?

Aircraft categories are only a first filter. Runway, weather, full payload or large cases may exclude an aircraft with enough seats, and long sectors may need fuel stops. Confirm model, cabin, accepted bags, stops and airport in writing. The Citation Longitude and Falcon 7X pages show why model requests still require a mission check.

Airports, slots and ground logistics

Private aviation can use dedicated business airports and FBO terminals, but access varies by city. Operating hours, parking, noise procedures, customs availability, runway performance and slot rules influence the choice. The closest airport on a map is not always the quickest or feasible option for the requested aircraft and time.

REQUEST VIP compares the airside plan with the road journey. A coordinated car should have the actual FBO address, live arrival updates and enough space for the full party and luggage. For Riviera trips, the Saint-Tropez private jet charter brief must also account for the local airport’s operational limits and the final drive.

Safety and operator verification

The operator, not the broker, performs the flight. The FAA advises U.S. passengers to confirm that aircraft and operator are authorised for paid charter; equivalent commercial approvals apply elsewhere. Written confirmation names the carrier and substitution process.

How It Works

  1. Send the complete route, dates, passenger names, baggage and non-negotiable timings.
  2. REQUEST VIP requests options from appropriately authorised operators and checks airport feasibility.
  3. Compare the operating carrier, aircraft, itinerary, inclusions, exclusions and cancellation terms in writing.
  4. Confirm the charter; the concierge coordinates changes while the operator retains operational control.

FAQ

What information do I need to request a private jet?

Provide departure and destination, preferred dates and times, passenger names, exact baggage and any pets, special equipment or mobility needs. Also state which schedule points are fixed so the operator can test crew and airport feasibility.

Can I choose a specific aircraft model?

You can request one, but availability and mission suitability must be confirmed. The written proposal should identify the aircraft and configuration or clearly describe the substitution terms.

How quickly can a private jet be arranged?

Timing depends on aircraft position, crew availability, airport permissions, passenger documents and payment clearance. REQUEST VIP will only state a response or departure timeline after these factors and the operator are checked.

Is a private jet quote all-inclusive?

Not automatically. Review positioning, airport and handling charges, taxes, catering, de-icing, overnight costs and schedule-change provisions. A useful comparison puts the same assumptions against every option.

Who operates the aircraft booked through REQUEST VIP?

A licensed third-party air carrier operates the flight and retains operational control. REQUEST VIP acts as an independent concierge and charter intermediary and is not the aircraft operator.
