Air Taxi Charter and Hire - FAQ's


Q	Can air taxi charter flights operate into any airfield or airport?
A	In good weather air taxis can fly into most airfields but if the weather is poor (fog, low cloud etc.) only larger airports with radar and approach facilities can be used. All air taxi aircraft types have differing runway requirements and these are also affected by weather.
Q	What is the cost of an air taxi charter flight?
A	The cost is worked out per flying hour plus landing and ground handling fees and waiting time. All flying time is included and will include the time taken to position to and from the aircraft's base. Because of this a one-way flight is almost the same cost as a return. Hourly costs vary depending on the aircraft type and operating costs. VAT is charged on domestic flights but not international.
Q	What luggage can be carried on an air taxi charter plane?
A	Luggage can be carried on the plane, but space is limited and because of the size and shape of the luggage lockers canvas bags and small cases are preferred. Many piston engined air taxi hire aircraft have special lockers behind the engines, suitable for golf clubs or skis.
