Q. What does aircraft charter mean?
A. Chartering an aircraft means that you rent the aircraft and pilot, and specify where and when you want to go.

Q. Where do you fly?
A. We can fly to any one of approximately 5000 airports in the United States instead of being restricted to the 500 airports served by the scheduled airlines. We also fly to Canada.

Q. What type of aircraft do you fly?
A. Our fleet consists of a Beechcraft King Air 200 eight passenger turboprop and two Piper Navajos.  The King Air 200 is a pressurized aircraft and therefore capable of flying above most weather.  The Piper Navajos carry six passengers in comfort.  They are capable of landing at very small airports that will get you closer to your final destination.

Q. Are pets allowed on your charter aircraft?
A. Yes, we encourage passengers to include their pets when they travel on our aircraft. Kennels may be used, but they are not required.

Q. Will there be other passengers on my flight?
A. No, you have exclusive use and control of the aircraft for the duration of your charter flight. You choose who will be flying with you, and you have complete privacy and security during the entire flight.

Q. Do you serve food and beverages on your flights?
A. Soft drinks, bottled water, beer, liquor and snacks are provided on all flights at no charge. Any type of special catering can be provided with prior arrangements for an additional fee.

Q. How are Frontline Aviation charter pilots selected and trained?
A. Frontline Aviation employs highly experienced charter pilots, and all flights are operated with two pilot crews for added safety.   They are required to undergo frequent training and take an FAA checkride every six months.  Simulator training at Simuflite takes place on a recurrent basis to ensure a high level of safety awareness and proficiency. 

Q. Isn't flying commercial much cheaper and faster?
A. It is true that once you're on your way in an airliner you are moving fast. But the increased productivity from being able to arrive in airports much closer to your final destination, and to be able to depart on your schedule not the airlines schedule, is only gained by chartering. Inconvenient airlines schedules, delays, and cancellations cause additional travel expenses that aren't incurred when chartering, such as overnight hotel stays, rental cars, or overpriced last minute ticket purchases.

When you factor in the time and productivity you gain by traveling on your own terms, the cost seems much more reasonable.
