Group and shared charters

Hire the whole aircraft, fly it with your team, or share a direct flight with travellers on your route.

Every charter starts the same way: one aircraft, hired for one trip.
What differs is who books it, who is on board, and how the cost is split. Charter Connect Aviation arranges all three types.

Individual charter

This is the most common type of charter. Charter Connect Aviation (CCA) hires the whole aircraft for one client – a person or a company – who decides who flies on it, when it departs and where it goes. The client pays the full price, through CCA whether one seat or every seat is filled.

An individual charter offers the most privacy and the most control. It suits executives with confidential meetings, tight or multi-stop schedules, and anyone who needs to change plans on short notice.

Group charter

A group charter is still a private charter: CCA hires the whole aircraft. The difference is that the aircraft carries a defined group travelling together – a leadership team, a project crew, a delegation, or guests attending the same event.

Because the price is for the aircraft, not the seat, a full cabin brings the cost per person down sharply. For a group of six to twelve people, a mid-size or large business jet can compare well with business-class fares, especially once you count the time saved on connections and overnight layovers. The group travels together, arrives together, and can work or talk freely on board.

CCA also arranges event shuttle charters: flights scheduled for the occasion that bring attendees from one or more cities to a conference, summit or sporting event, avoiding the crowded airline flights everyone else is on.

Shared charter

In a shared charter, CCA hires the whole aircraft individual travellers who share the aircraft on a common route and divide its cost. Each traveller pays only for their seat, yet still flies privately and direct. CCA matches travellers not only by destination but also by purpose – all onboard will be traveling for business.

Many operators sell seats on a flight that is already scheduled, or on an empty leg – an aircraft booked by a primary client that is flying back without passengers. Empty leg flights are risky – the traveller has to fly according to the primary client’s plan, and the flight may be cancelled if that client changes their plans.

How CCA organises shared charters differently

CCA starts with the travellers, not the aircraft. We look for business travellers who share routes, schedules and purpose – commuters who fly the same distressed itinerary between a city pair, and attendees heading to the same event.

We then build the charter around them: the route, the day and the departure time they need, on an aircraft sourced as close to their starting point as possible.

The result is a private flight with the economics of a shared one: direct, on your schedule, with a cabin of professional peers.
