Private jets for travel agencies and tour operators

A client asks for a private flight, and the agency has no aviation department of its own. European Private Jets works with travel agencies, tour operators, travel designers, concierge services and incentive organisers across Europe. The agency keeps the client and plans the trip; we take care of the flight, from the first quote to the landing.

We are a broker and have no aircraft of our own. For each request we compare offers from licensed air operators, with about 6,500 aircraft available through them, and choose the ones that suit the route, the group and the budget. The typical requests from agencies are the last leg to an island with no direct airline connection, a ski week with equipment, a family travelling with a dog, a wedding or incentive group, or a short trip where a scheduled connection would take a whole day. Agencies work with us on a single request or under a long-term agreement.

Leave your number and a consultant will call you back to discuss the request or the terms of cooperation:

How cooperation works

1. The agency sends the route, dates, number of passengers, baggage and any special needs by e-mail to private@jets.flights, by phone on +357 96407410, by WhatsApp on +49 157 33565927 or through the form on the site.
2. We check availability with several operators and send the options, usually within an hour. The quote is free and does not commit the agency or the client.
3. Once the client has chosen an aircraft, we prepare the contract with times, included services and cancellation terms. The flight is confirmed after signature and payment.
4. We coordinate slots, permits and ground handling with the operator and book transfers, hotels and other services at the destination if the agency asks for them.
5. About 24 hours before departure the agency receives the flight brief with times, terminal, aircraft and crew, ready to forward to the client.
6. On the day, the consultant follows the flight until landing and tells the agency about any change of time or plan.

Commercial terms for agencies

Partner terms are agreed with each agency and apply both to a single request and to regular work. Two models are common, and the agency chooses the one that fits the way it sells:

Rates and the details of each model are set out in the agreement, not on this page. Ask your consultant for the terms that apply to your agency, or write to private@jets.flights.

What your agency receives for each request

What to include in a request

The more complete the request, the more precise the first quote. Useful details:

• Route and dates. Departure and arrival cities or airports, the preferred time and the return date, with how flexible the client is.
• Passengers. The number of adults and children. For flights outside the Schengen area, the nationality of each passenger.
• Baggage. The number of suitcases and any bulky items: skis, snowboards, golf bags, bicycles, prams.
• Special needs. Pets in the cabin, passengers with reduced mobility, catering wishes, the need to work on board.
• Ground services. Transfers, a helicopter connection, hotel or villa, anything that should be included in the same offer.
• Budget. If the client has a fixed budget, tell us: we will suggest the aircraft class and the solutions that fit it.

Requests agencies send most often

Leisure requests across Europe follow the seasons. A few practical points that affect the quote:

Prices for popular routes are on the prices page, and the calculator gives a first estimate for any route before you send the request. More destinations are in the list of popular destinations.

Flight and hotel together: when it becomes a package

In the EU, agencies work under the Package Travel Directive, transposed into national law in each member state. Selling the flight alone is a single travel service. Once the agency combines the flight with accommodation, car rental or another tourist service for the same trip and sells them together, the trip can become a package, and the agency as organiser takes on the obligations the law sets: pre-contract information, responsibility for the performance of the services and protection against insolvency.

Options for clients with a smaller budget

Not every client needs the whole aircraft on a date and time of their choice. Empty Legs are repositioning flights, usually priced well below a full one-way charter, because the operator only needs to cover part of the positioning cost. The date, time and route are already set, and the flight can be cancelled if the main charter changes. For agencies with flexible clients, an Empty Leg is the most realistic way to save. Send the direction and a range of dates to empty-legs@jets.flights and we will tell you when a suitable flight appears. Jet Sharing, where passengers buy seats on a shared flight, is possible on some routes but much less common.

Services beyond the flight

The private flight is often only one part of the trip. On request we also arrange:

• helicopter transfers to mountain resorts, islands or Monaco, timed to the arrival of the jet;
• cars with a driver from the hotel to the airport and from the airport to the final address;
• catering on board, including dishes from restaurants the client chooses, prepared by approved airport suppliers;
• hotels, villas, yachts and rental cars at the destination, and tickets for sporting and cultural events;
• flights with dogs and cats in the cabin, with a check of the documents the destination requires;
• group and incentive flights, flights for sports teams and medical flights with partner medical teams.

If the route and dates are already fixed, send the request through the form below. A consultant will confirm the details and send the available options.

Contract, payment and cancellation

If an operator cancels, we look for a replacement aircraft and do everything to protect the client, but each case depends on the operator's contract. The general rules are in the terms and conditions.

• • Can the offer be presented under our agency name?

  • Yes, on request we prepare the aircraft options and descriptions without our branding, so you can use them in your own proposal.

• • Will you contact our client directly?

  • Offers and trip updates go through the agency. We contact the passengers only as far as the flight itself requires.

• • How quickly do we receive a quote?

  • Usually within an hour, with 4-7 options: aircraft of different classes and prices within the client's budget. Requests are accepted 24/7.

• • Is the quote binding?

• • Is a flight sold with a hotel a package?

  • Yes. Helicopter connections, cars with a driver, catering, hotels, villas and yachts can be added to the same offer.

• • Are there cheaper options for flexible clients?
