Jet Certification

privatejets.com jet certification process

 

At privatejets.com, selectivity and experience are essential to our air charter program. Through a meticulous process, we have carefully selected and certified a small group of highly qualified private jet operators that are among the best in the country. The team at privatejets.com has developed strict standards for certified private jet operators. We require each one to undergo both internal and independent examinations of their operations, private jets, and management. If an operator, its pilots or its private aircraft do not meet our strict standards, then they will not be certified and they do not fly for our clients. To become a certified private jet operator, you must pass an extensive examination that covers:

  • Review of operator’s FAA Operations Specifications Manual
  • Review of corporate ownership and management team
  • Agreement to initial and ongoing inspections and audits conducted by our field teams
  • Review of individual aircraft history, including maintenance reliability
  • Collection and verification of detailed insurance documentation
  • Background check verification for every pilot and crewmember
  • Review of pilot experience & training – work history, education, FAA license verification, Pilot Certificate history, etc.
  • Collection and review of data from ARG/US
  • Physical aircraft inspection

    • Once approved, privatejets.com requires operators participating in our programs to have at least $50 million of liability insurance on every flight, though the average is approximately $125 million.

    Where Does PrivateJets.com's Jet Supply come From?

    In working with a select group of private jet operators, privatejets.com has designed a unique private jet supply solution. All operators and private aircraft must meet the same strict guidelines for service, quality and safety practices:

    Dedicated Aircaft
    The main source of private jets are those flown for privatejets.com by our certified operators under long-term arrangements.

    Preferred Operator Network
    Our second source of private jets comes from a small number of preferred operators who fly primarily for us and are tightly aligned with our air charter scheduling needs.

    Certified Operators
    As a third source, we have certified a network of approximately 125 operators with additional aircraft available outside of dedicated aircraft and the Preferred Operator Network.
