Who we are
Turks and Caicos Jet Charter arranges private charter flights to and from the Turks and Caicos Islands, from Providenciales and Grand Turk to South Caicos and the smaller cays. We are a US-based private air charter broker, headquartered in the Philadelphia region, with team members and affiliates around the world, and the phone is answered at any hour, on any day of the year.
Most of our Turks and Caicos trips start somewhere in the United States or Canada. Tell us the dates, who is traveling, where you are staying on the islands and what everyone is bringing, and your advisor will find the aircraft, check the operator and look after the details until you land.
What we arrange
Most of our work is on-demand charter. You have the whole aircraft for your trip, and we arrange it with the operator from start to finish. Alongside that, we arrange:
- Group charter for families, wedding parties and company trips
- Aircraft sales and acquisition for clients considering ownership
- Aircraft management for existing aircraft owners
- Air cargo charter for time-critical freight
- Non-emergency medical transport for passengers who need medical support on board
Arriving in Turks and Caicos
Every trip to the islands is an international flight, so the airport you land at first matters. Three airports in the territory can clear a flight arriving from abroad: Providenciales, Grand Turk and South Caicos.
Providenciales (PLS), officially Howard Hamilton International Airport, is where almost every private flight into the islands lands. It has private aviation terminals with their own customs clearance, so you clear in away from the main airline hall, which gets very busy at peak times. The airport is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, and a later arrival can be arranged in advance.
Grand Turk, at JAGS McCartney International Airport, is the capital and the closest port of entry to Salt Cay. Ground support there is confirmed in advance for each trip.
South Caicos has been able to clear international flights since 2025, and it is the closest port of entry for the South Caicos resorts and Ambergris Cay.
The smaller islands are a second step. North Caicos, Salt Cay and Pine Cay only take flights from within the territory, so you clear customs at one of the three airports above first. Parrot Cay has no airstrip at all, and guests land at Providenciales and continue by boat. Ambergris Cay has a private airport that is open only by prior permission. Tell us where you are staying, and your advisor will talk you through the best way in.
Whether a particular aircraft can use a particular runway on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, that weight and that day, and we confirm it before you book. The islands are on the same time as New York all year, including daylight savings time, so there is no time difference to plan around if you are flying from the East Coast.
Who we work with
Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them. Wyvern is an independent third-party aviation safety organization. It audits how brokers work and keeps a database of operator safety records, and holding that membership means our own practices are audited too. Before we send you any options, we confirm the operator’s certification, look at their safety and incident history, and check that the pilots are experienced and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on.
We work with FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft. Part 135 is the FAA’s set of rules for on-demand, for-hire charter, and it carries stricter operating, crew, and insurance requirements than FAR Part 91, the rules for private, non-commercial flying that cannot be sold as charter. When your total passenger count outgrows a heavy jet and the group consists of more than nineteen passengers, the aircraft required would fall into regional airliner, or airliner-size. These trips would no longer fall under the FAR Part 135 standards but possibly operate under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards. Part 121 and equivalent generally carry stricter crew and operating requirements than FAR Part 91 and FAR Part 135.
We have also been a member of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) since 2012.
