There are both types on the market, those that are transparent and those who are not. Everybody on the market, clients and service providers, know that there will be a broker fee of about 7-10% added to the actual cost of the trip. It’s not like it’s a secret so it’s up to you if you want to be transparent and play with your cards open and work towards building a long term relationship with your clients or not.
I don’t always know personally, but our private office would never accept a charter trip to be sold on our aircraft without knowing how much the broker, if there is one, is taking for their services.
