Question 1

What's the largest aircraft available for private charter?

Accepted Answer

Full charter access extends to wide body aircraft. Typical wide body group charter configurations seat 200 to 300 or more passengers, and VIP converted wide bodies are available at much lower densities. We confirm the exact capacity and layout of the aircraft proposed for your group before you book.

Question 2

Can a large airliner be configured as VIP rather than full seating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cabins can be configured from full capacity group seating to low density VIP layouts, and on some conversions to VIP suites, meeting rooms and private bedrooms, subject to the operator and the aircraft. We confirm the configuration options available on the aircraft proposed for your charter.

Question 3

How far in advance should we book a large airliner charter?

Accepted Answer

Weeks rather than days. Aircraft of this scale are limited, and arrangements cover airport suitability, slots, handling and permissions, so we recommend enquiring as early as you can with your dates and passenger numbers.

Question 4

Is large airliner charter cost-effective for big groups?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on a per person basis. The total trip cost is the highest of any category, but when a large group travels as one aircraft on one schedule rather than splitting across several aircraft, the per person cost is often lower than it first appears.

Question 5

Can a large airliner charter carry freight or oversized equipment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wide body aircraft in this category have cargo hold capacity suited to freight, equipment and full group luggage alongside passengers. Capacity depends on the aircraft and the passenger load, and we confirm the exact allowance when booking.

Typical range	4,000 to 14,800 km / 2,160 to 8,000 nm
