I'm afraid I didn't phrase this question clearly. Let me try again.
As a charter customer I am comfortable with planes that are 2000 and newer, especially if the interior is updated and it equipped with wi-fi. That's just one data point though. What I want is to get an idea of where charter customers in general start to push back on chartering a plane because of the aircraft age.
There are plenty of considerably older airplanes with fully updated interiors with WiFi, Satcom, and Krishna only knows what else, so age in this regard is not much of a factor really. For example (and I realize that this is a REALLY EXTREME example), would you have any problem being a passenger on this mid-70s bird?
