Everything you need to know
Chartering a private aircraft should be straightforward. These are the questions clients ask us most, answered plainly. If yours is not covered, an advisor is reachable 24/7.
Booking and timing
What types of charter flights does Trilogy arrange?
On-demand, empty-leg, group, international, supplemental lift and cargo charter. Because we are an independent broker rather than an operator, we can source anything from a turboprop or very light jet through midsize, super-midsize, heavy and large-cabin airliner aircraft.
How far in advance should I book a charter flight?
Around two weeks gives us the widest choice of aircraft and the best pricing. That said, most trips can be arranged on as little as same-day notice, subject to aircraft and crew availability.
Can I book for both personal and business travel?
Yes. Personal itineraries are built around your schedule and preferences. Corporate travel is coordinated for teams, multi-leg routings and tight turnarounds, with one advisor handling the whole trip.
Can I choose the departure and arrival airports?
Yes, you choose both. We will usually suggest the private field closest to where you actually need to be, which is often quicker door to door than the nearest major airport.
Can you arrange a flight from anywhere?
Yes. We have access to more than 7,000 aircraft worldwide, so we can position an aircraft to almost any airport, and an advisor stays reachable 24/7 at every stage of the trip.
Aircraft and cabin
How does private charter differ from flying commercial?
You fly on your schedule, from the airport that suits you, with no queues and no connections. Boarding is typically fifteen minutes before departure, the cabin is yours alone, and catering, ground transport and luggage are arranged around your trip rather than an airline timetable.
What amenities are available on board?
Most cabins we book offer Wi-Fi, refreshments and comfortable seating. Larger aircraft add a full lavatory, a stand-up cabin, generous luggage capacity and gourmet catering. Tell your advisor what matters on the trip and we will match the aircraft to it.
Can I fly internationally?
Yes. We arrange both domestic and international charter, including permits, ground handling and customs coordination, with access to airports and aircraft worldwide.
Safety and standards
What safety standards do you hold operators to?
Trilogy is an ARGUS Registered Broker, a Wyvern Certified partner and an NBAA member. We only book operators that meet those standards, every flight is crewed by two pilots, and the operators we use are subject to third-party audit.
