2) Customer Service

Will you be assigned a dedicated representative? 24/7 customer service available? How experienced are the customer service reps and how well are they trained to work with rich clients or VIPs?

3) Company History

How long has the charter jet company been in business? What is their reputation? Ask for references and verify this information.

4) The Aircraft Fleet

Does the charter company actually operate aircraft or are they just a broker? Owned or Leased aircrafts? Are all planes in one location or will you have access nationwide or at least regionwide? How old is the fleet? Are the aircrafts on their first ownership or is the fleet used (compare to a used car)?
