How to charter a plane.
Hi,
I'm thinking of starting a tourisme business organising trips to France. However the destination I have in mind isn't presently served by any scheduled flights. I am therefore looking at chartering a plane say once a week leaving from london on the saturday and then coming back on the same day. Does anyone know where I can find more information on chartering a plane. Any usefull website will be much appreciated.
thanks
Serko

1) Get an AOC - air operators certificate - check the CAA website for info.
2) Decide on type and look into the regs - the size of the aircraft will determine the airport, etc. and the type of crew needed.
3) Decide on route - if it was solely charter I don't think you'd need proving flights.
4) Check out ACMI (Aircraft, crew, maintenece, insurance) operators on the net - try a search for aircraft leasing - you will find e-mail addresses.
Hope you have lots of pennies (or Euro's)!!

I don't want to lease a plane just hire one for every saturday. seating between 50 and 150 people. I only need it for these days so leasing will not be viable. Is theresomewhere i can rent a plane including pilots etc for 1 day?

"Hiring a plane and pilots" for one day is not as easy as popping down to your local branch of Hertz and renting a car or a van!! If you are offering flights or tour packages you MUST be bonded. You will need an ATOL from the CAA. Check out www.atol.org.uk for further info.
