In private jet charter the real work is not finding an aircraft, but matching the right aircraft with the right terms.
Five different quotes come back for the same route; the difference between them is usually the age of the aircraft, the experience of the crew, the insurance limit and the positioning cost. We explain that difference in writing.
We are not tied to any manufacturer or operator. We have no obligation to favour a particular fleet; the requirement of the route determines the choice.
The 69 aircraft we most often source through our operator network. The figures are the maximum values published by the manufacturer; actual range and capacity vary with cabin configuration, payload and weather conditions.
We also run an operator search for a type that is not in the catalogue — the network is not a closed list.
Gazali Aviation is not an aircraft operator and has no fleet of its own. The types above show the aircraft we can source through our international operator network. Whether a given type is available on the date and route you request becomes clear at the quotation stage, with operator confirmation.
Moving up a category is not always the right decision. The five items below are what we check, in order, while preparing a quote.
Not every flight requires the same preparation. A corporate trip and a diplomatic delegation flight mean a different operator, different equipment and a different permit process.
Executive travel, investor visits and business itineraries with multiple stops. A flight plan built around the meeting schedule, with waiting time and flexibility on the return.
Requests that need departure the same day or within a few hours. We present the fastest workable option, based on aircraft availability, slots and permit status.
Protocol requirements, special permit coordination and flight requests from public institutions. Country permits along the route are tracked separately.
Sports clubs, production crews, congress and event movements. Depending on the passenger count, an airliner is allocated or several jets are planned.
A medically equipped cabin, the medical team and the hospital transfer planned together. Medical decisions and in-flight care remain the responsibility of the medical team.
Sourcing of firefighting aircraft, cargo flights and operator research for mission flights outside standard schedules.
It is a positioning flight an aircraft makes without passengers. If your dates are flexible, you can use the same aircraft on markedly better terms.
Empty leg opportunities depend on the operator's schedule and usually appear shortly before departure. The route, the time and the aircraft category are set not by you, but by the movement the aircraft is already making.
For that reason an empty leg is not a suitable solution for every request. If you have a fixed meeting time or the route is precisely defined, a standard charter is the safer choice. When we receive your request we show both options with their prices and explain where the difference comes from.
The journey often continues where the jet flight ends. We build the connection between the airport and the final destination by helicopter.
City transfers, island-to-island crossings and regional movements that take hours by road come down to minutes by helicopter. When planned within the same request as the jet flight, the landing time and the helicopter departure are aligned with each other.
Helicopter operations are more sensitive to weather than jet flights. For that reason every transfer plan also defines a road alternative, which is confirmed before the flight.
On every charter request we review the operating certificate of the operator we propose, the registration of the aircraft, the insurance cover and the safety record.
We do not automatically put the lowest quote forward; we show where the difference comes from as separate line items in the quote.
Passenger details, the route and the flight schedule are shared only with the parties needed for the flight to take place. At the request stage, operators are given the technical requirement of the flight, not the identity of the passengers.
Gazali Aviation is not an aircraft operator and holds no AOC. All flights are performed under the operating certificate of the relevant operator and under that operator's responsibility. Our role is limited to process management and consultancy.
A standard charter request proceeds in this order. For short-notice urgent flights the steps are the same; only the timescales shorten.
Departure, arrival, date, passenger count and any special requirements are taken. Permit and slot constraints along the route are checked at this first stage.
Available aircraft in the right category are screened; certificate, insurance and safety record are reviewed.
Options are presented with aircraft type, registration, total journey time and itemised cost lines. The reason for the price difference is explained in writing.
The contract, ground handling, customs and cabin requests are planned with the operator and followed through a single point of contact until departure.
The questions we meet most often in charter requests, with short answers.
The price is not a single item. Flight time and aircraft category are the base components; on top of them come the positioning flight from where the aircraft is located to the departure airport, airport and ground handling fees, crew accommodation, waiting time and, where applicable, overnight parking. We show these items separately in the quote.
For comfortable planning, 48 – 72 hours is enough. For short-notice urgent flights, same-day departure is possible on most routes; the deciding factor is not aircraft availability but slot and flight permit lead times. On routes requiring diplomatic clearance the time may be longer.
No. An empty leg is a positioning flight the aircraft is already making; its route, time and aircraft category are fixed in advance. If your dates are flexible it gives a clear cost advantage, but it carries a cancellation risk if the operator's plan changes. For trips with a fixed schedule a standard charter is recommended.
The decision depends on your annual flight hours. For organisations with a regular, predictable flight programme, a long-term lease gives continuous access to an aircraft; in the wet lease and ACMI model, maintenance, hangar, crew and registration obligations also stay with the lessor. Once flight hours pass a certain threshold, purchase starts to be worth assessing; we compare both scenarios using your own data.
No. Gazali Aviation is not an aircraft operator and holds no AOC. The flight takes place under the operating certificate of the selected operator and under that operator's responsibility. The part we carry out is operator selection, quote comparison and flight coordination.
Catering, a special cabin layout, pet carriage and unusual baggage (sports equipment, musical instruments, production cases) vary by operator and aircraft type. When these requests are stated at the quotation stage they are built into the aircraft selection; requests added later may require a change of aircraft.
Send us departure, arrival, date and passenger count; we will come back with suitable aircraft categories, operator options and an itemised price breakdown.
