Private Jet Broker Fees: What Is Included?

A private jet charter quote usually covers the aircraft, crew, fuel, standard catering and landing fees, while catering upgrades, ground transport, de icing, international permits and overnight crew costs are typically billed as extras. Knowing which side of that line each item sits on prevents surprises.

What is usually in the quoted price

The flight itself: aircraft, crew, fuel, insurance, maintenance reserve, and in most cases standard landing and handling at the named airports.

Common extras

Bespoke catering, chauffeur and ground transfers, de icing in winter, international permits, VIP terminal fees and overnight crew accommodation are the items most often added afterwards.

How to get a true all in number

Ask for an itemised quote that lists every expected charge for your specific route and season, and ask which items could still change before departure.

Questions to ask before you agree a price

Confirm whether positioning is included, whether the airport in question charges premium handling, and what the estimate would be if weather forces de icing.

Frequently asked questions

Are landing fees included in the quote?

Usually yes for the named airports, but confirm it in writing, especially for busy or premium airports.

Do I pay extra for catering?

Standard refreshments are normally included. Bespoke menus and special requests are charged separately.

What about ground transport at the destination?

It can be arranged alongside the flight and is normally an added cost rather than part of the charter price.

Can extras be estimated in advance?

Yes. A good broker will give realistic estimates for the likely extras rather than leaving them blank.
