Flying on a private jet charter is much safer than flying commercial during a pandemic. In fact, because of the health concerns of flying commercial, many more people are turning to flying private. The passengers are only yourself and your own party, so you won’t come into contact with anyone else. The crew and pilots can take safety precautions such as maintaining social distancing and wearing masks when interacting with passengers. In addition, the cabin is kept clean in between passengers. If you have specific requests that would make you feel more comfortable flying, the crew will do their best to accommodate you.

The safety of passengers is our number one priority. Even though flying private means that you don’t have to go through the TSA’s security checkpoint, a private jet charter is very secure. There are fewer passengers, so private jet brokers can vet passengers at the beginning of the booking process. In addition, private jet brokers rigorously check the safety records for every operator that they use. In fact, the safety checks that private jets have to go through can be even more rigorous than those for commercial aircraft. Private jet travel is therefore just as safe, if not even safer, than flying commercial.

ARGUS is a company in the aviation industry that audits the safety of private jet operators, among other things. ARGUS’ gold rating is an internationally recognized safety standard. West Palm Jet Charter looks for the ARGUS rating of any operator for every private jet charter booked.

Wyvern is a company in the aviation industry that audits private jet operators. Their highest standard of safety rating is the Wingman rating. West Palm Jet Charter looks for the Wyvern rating and obtains a Wyvern safety report for any private jet charter that is booked. Wyvern safety standards are even stricter than those required by Part 135 of the FAA’s safety requirements. For every private jet flight, WPJC will obtain Wyvern PASS reports. The Wyvern PASS (Pilot and Aircraft Safety Survey) report is given to every customer as proof of the safety rating of the operators we work with. Both the aircraft and the flight crew have been checked and verified according to the highest safety standards in the world.

The FAA, or Federal Aviation Administration, authorizes companies to operate chartered flights in Part 135 of its regulations. However, in order to obtain this authorization, the FAA outlines certain standards of safety that companies must meet. A company that has Part 135 certification is considered to meet the FAA’s safety standards for operating private jet charters.
