Airliner Charter Issues and Costs
Not sure what the correct forum is for this speculative question, so apologies if this is the wrong location.
My company is looking at the possibility of chartering an airliner for a UK to Spain round trip. There seem to be plenty agencies offering charter services, but before approaching them - and running the risk of multiple follow up sales calls - I thought I'd seek some informal advice on a couple of points.
1. If they were to run such a charter as a commercial venture, what licensing and other legislative requirements are there? We are not a travel agency, but there may be a gap in the market for us to profitably invest some capital in this venture on a one-off basis.
2. Can anyone give me a broad idea of indicative costs and what influences them. Say as an example a 737-300 in ~148 seat configuration from somewhere like PIK to Spain for a single return journey with an overnight stay. A second scenario might change it from an overnight to two night stay.
Once again apologies if this is the wrong forum. All comments welcome.
Thanks.
