AN INTRODUCTION TO PRIVATE JET TRAVEL OPTIONS
Chartering an aircraft remains one of the most flexible and straightforward methods of enjoying the freedom and
ease of private aviation. Executive Jet Management (EJM) developed this Private Jet Charter Handbook to help
answer your questions about this extremely popular private flying option.
OUR STORY
3. PRIVATE JET CHARTER OPTIONS
Chartering a private jet allows you to fly anytime, anywhere, on any of the aircraft you prefer. For each individual
trip you book, you can choose from any specific aircraft type or aircraft cabin size we offer. And, once you book
your trip, your quoted price is guaranteed. You are not responsible for any additional costs if the actual flying time
exceeds the quoted amount!
At Executive Jet Management, our fully-customizable charter programs allow every trip to be tailored to meet your
exact travel needs.
Flat-Rate Charter
EJM’s Flat-Rate Charter program lets you enjoy the ultimate way to manage your flying needs with a consistent,
pre-paid pricing model and without repositioning or ferry costs. You only pay for the time you are in the aircraft.
One simple, refundable deposit will give you access to any of the five aircraft cabin sizes we offer. Each aircraft
size is given a consistent, flat rate, and costs are debited from your deposit after each trip. Flat-Rate Charter
represents the most competitive program pricing available, delivering the best combination of value and access
to our clients.
Cabin-Class Charter
EJM’s Cabin-Class Charter program provides a fast, easy process to book charter. Just provide your itinerary
and preferred aircraft size and EJM will book your flight. You can choose from any of the five aircraft cabin sizes
we offer, each of which is given a set hourly rate. Cabin-Class Charter was developed for clients who require a
simplified booking process and consistent pricing model without being tied down to specific aircraft availability.
On-Demand Charter
With EJM’s On-Demand Charter program, you have the choice to charter any aircraft in the EJM or approved
vendor fleet in any cabin size or aircraft type you prefer. Each trip is individually priced based on available aircraft
and you simply pay-as-you-go. There is no commitment and your use is literally on demand.
Block Charter
With EJM’s Block Charter program, our most frequent flying Charter Clients are rewarded with a discount on every
flight they take. Payments are pay-as-you-go, but at a discounted rate. To take advantage of EJM’s Block Charter
pricing, you must commit to fly over 50 hours per year with EJM.

JET COMPARISON GUIDE
Midsize Cabin Jets
Midsize cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate six to eight passengers with
adequate baggage space. They are ideal for trips within the U.S. and can fly to many U.S.
locations nonstop. Their maximum travel range is up to five hours flight time or 2,200 miles in
optimal conditions. All midsize cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and generally have a
small galley. They also feature a more comfortable interior arrangement and a taller cabin than
the small cabin jet. They typically do not include a flight attendant.
Super Midsize Cabin Jets
Super midsize cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate eight to nine passengers
with generous baggage space. Ideal for longer trips including domestic and transatlantic travel.
Their maximum travel range is up to seven hours flight time or 3,500 miles in optimal conditions.
All super midsize cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and typically have a full galley with
room for preparing and serving food and drinks. They also have generous standing and walking
room compared to small and midsize cabin jets. Some will include a flight attendant.
Large and Heavy Cabin Jets
Large and heavy cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate 8 to 16 passengers
with substantial baggage space. These jets are ideal for international, nonstop transoceanic
travel with a maximum travel range of up to 12 hours flight time or 6,000 miles for the largest
jets. All large and heavy cabin jets include an enclosed lavatory and a fully-equipped galley
with room for preparing and serving food and drinks. They also have the largest interiors and
include sleeping accommodations for smaller groups. All flights have a flight attendant on board.
Helicopters
Helicopters are are designed to accommodate up to eight passengers and are ideal for short
transport flights and avoiding automobile travel and traffic.
Small Cabin Jets
Small cabin jets are designed to comfortably accommodate six to seven passengers with modest
baggage space. They are perfect for shorter trips where your destination is up to three hours
flight time or 1,400 miles away, in optimal conditions. Some small cabin jets include an enclosed
lavatory. None have a galley or include a flight attendant. Small cabin jets are considered to be
the most cost effective choice.

your exact preferences, even to
multiple destinations in one day.
• With up-close parking, arrive just
minutes before your departure
and avoid long lines, crowds,
and security checks.
• Relax onboard with first-class
accommodations and service.
• Choose the exact meals and
beverages you would like on
your flight so that a gourmet
dining experience awaits you.
• Make your trip as productive as
you choose, in complete privacy
and security.
• Fly into the most convenient
airport to your final destination,
significantly reducing ground
transportation time and cost.
Private aircraft have access to
5,500 airports across the U.S.
whereas commercial flights have
access to fewer than 600.
• Avoid cancelled flights, missed
connections, or layovers.
