Turks and Caicos Jet Charter arranges supplemental lift for corporate and private flight departments whose principals travel to the islands, for the days when your own aircraft cannot fly the trip. Winter is the busiest season on the islands, and a flight department can easily end up with two trips on the same weekend.
The calls we get from flight managers
The aircraft is due for scheduled maintenance just as the principal plans a week at the house on Grace Bay. A mechanical problem leaves the aircraft on the ground at home while executives are waiting on Providenciales for their flight back. The board wants to fly down together for an offsite and needs more seats than the aircraft has. Each of these leaves you with a choice between canceling, putting people on an airline, or finding another aircraft. We work on the third option.
Bringing people home from the islands
When the passengers are already on the islands, we look for a suitable aircraft and operator for the return trip and keep you updated as options come in. A charter operator carrying paying passengers into Turks and Caicos needs permission from the Turks and Caicos Civil Aviation Authority, and landing permits for the trip are applied for after it has been booked and paid. Call as soon as you know your aircraft will not make the trip.
What we take off your desk
Finding a replacement aircraft is only part of the job. Someone also has to check the operator, agree on the terms, and get the trip through procurement, finance and legal. We handle that work and give you one contact for the whole trip. We do not own or operate aircraft. We arrange each flight with a certified operator as your agent, so our only interest is finding the right aircraft at a competitive price.
Setting up before you need us
The easiest time to have this conversation is before the aircraft goes in for maintenance. If we already have your passenger details, preferences and billing arrangements on file, the first request is a phone call. You can read how we vet every operator on our safety page.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Turks and Caicos-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Every flight into Turks and Caicos from the United States or Canada is an international trip, so you land first at an airport that can clear you through customs: Providenciales, Grand Turk or South Caicos. Almost every private flight lands at Providenciales, officially Howard Hamilton International Airport, where private aviation terminals clear you in away from the main airline hall, and a late arrival there can be arranged in advance. North Caicos, Salt Cay and Pine Cay only take flights from within the territory, Parrot Cay has no airstrip, and Ambergris Cay’s private airport is open by prior permission. The islands are on the same time as New York all year, and hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, with September usually the most active month.
