Private Jet Charter
The jet is not the destination. It is the first move of an orchestrated journey.
Private jet charter is booking an aircraft on demand, with crew, for a single flight — one of several ways to access private aviation, alongside jet cards and fractional or full ownership. As your advisor, TGZ selects the right solution and folds the flight into a complete journey, under one point of contact.

What chartering really means
To charter is to book the exclusive use of an aircraft and its crew for a specific trip, at the date and time you choose. You own nothing and pre-commit to nothing: you pay for the flight you need, when you need it.
That suits travel that varies — Geneva this week, a Mediterranean island next month, a great occasion across the world after that.
Charter is only one of several ways to access private aviation. Jet cards, fractional and full ownership each suit heavier or more predictable flying. Which model is right depends on how you fly — and, as an advisor rather than an operator or broker, TGZ weighs them with you and arranges the right one through its global network, never bound to a single product.
Choosing the right aircraft category
The right aircraft is not the largest: it is the one that connects your origin and destination with the right balance of range, capacity and cost. A short European hop calls for a different jet than a transatlantic crossing.
As a guide, the market groups the fleet into five categories — we choose the one that serves the mission with you, never the one that inflates the bill.
| Category | Passengers | Typical range | Hourly rate (market) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | 4–7 | ≈ 2–3 h (intra-Europe) | $2,900 – 3,500 |
| Midsize | 7–8 | ≈ 3–4 h | $4,300 – 4,750 |
| Super-midsize | 8–9 | ≈ 5–6 h | $5,100 – 6,500 |
| Heavy jet | 10–14 | ≈ 6–7 h (transatlantic) | $7,200 – 9,500 |
| Ultra-long-range | 12–16 | ≈ 12–14 h (non-stop) | $10,000 – 14,000 |
The complete journey, not just the flight
What sets TGZ apart: the flight is never sold alone. We coordinate the driver to the airstair, the suite or villa that awaits, the table that cannot be booked, the box at the weekend’s great event, the yacht or the security detail when they are called for.
A single point of contact holds it all together. You are not assembling suppliers: you are entrusting a journey.
Safety and operator selection
A serious charter is judged not by its price but by its operator. We favour operators certified to the sector's recognised standards (ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO) and holding the required approvals (Part 135 / AOC).
Every mission is entrusted to a vetted aircraft and crew. Discretion is non-negotiable: nothing of your journey leaves the house.
Frequently asked
Price depends on aircraft category, distance, ground time and aircraft positioning. As a guide, the market places hourly rates between $2,900 (light jet) and $14,000 (ultra-long-range), with 20–40% of ancillary fees on top. We prepare a precise quote for your actual trip.
A flight can often be arranged within hours, subject to aircraft availability. For a specific route, a particular aircraft or a busy period (major events, holidays), a few days' notice secures the best choice.
They are different ways to access private aviation, each suited to a different flying profile. On-demand charter fits variable or occasional travel; jet cards lock in hours and rates for regular flyers; fractional and full ownership suit heavy, predictable use. We are not tied to selling any of them — as your advisor, TGZ identifies the model that fits how you fly and arranges it through our global network.
Yes. It is one of the advantages of flying private: your pets travel in the cabin with you. We handle in advance the health and documentary formalities specific to each destination.
No. TGZ is a luxury concierge and advisor, not an operator or broker. We understand your need, select the best solution through our global network of specialist partners, and coordinate the whole journey — aviation included — as your single point of contact. The flights themselves are performed by certified, approved operators.
