About This Miami Private Jet Charter Company
We are an independent Miami private jet charter company — a brokerage based in Brickell that arranges on-demand flights on aircraft operated by certificated air carriers. Most of our work is repetitive rather than glamorous: the same people flying the same handful of legs to Nassau, Teterboro, the Keys and the Turks, who want the transaction to be boring and the number to hold.
The industry has an honesty problem and it is largely self-inflicted. Stock photography of cabins nobody will board, prices that grow between the quote and the invoice, and companies that describe themselves in language implying they own the fleet. We would rather be the dull alternative.
What a broker is, and what we are not
A broker arranges flights. An air carrier operates them. That is not a technicality; it is the legal architecture of the industry, and it determines who is accountable when a line of thunderstorms sits over the Straits of Florida at nine at night.
Miami Private Jet Rental is a charter broker, not a direct air carrier. We do not own or operate aircraft. All flights we arrange are operated by properly licensed FAA Part 135 or Part 121 air carriers that hold operational control of the flight.
Not owning aircraft is the useful part. There is no owner's fleet here that needs hours flown on it this month, so nothing steers us toward one airframe over another. We price your specific trip across the operators who have the right aircraft in the right place on the right day, and when the sensible answer is a scheduled ticket or a car, we say so and lose the sale.
How this Miami private jet charter company works
One advisor owns your trip from the first call to the arrival text. Quotes name the operator, the aircraft type, the tail number and the safety rating, and the total already contains fuel, taxes, ramp and handling, catering, crew expenses and international fees where they apply. Where a number genuinely cannot be fixed in advance — a customs overtime charge, a de-icing allowance on a northern turnaround — it is labelled as an estimate with the range it can move within.
We are staffed continuously because charter breaks at inconvenient hours. Aircraft go unserviceable overnight, storms build in the afternoon, and passengers change plans at five in the morning. The phone is answered by someone who can rebook a flight rather than take a message.
The vetting standard behind every option is described in full on the safety page, and the arithmetic behind every quote is on the cost guide.
- Independent: we quote the market, not an inventory.
- Operator vetting on every trip, not once a year.
- No membership, no card deposit, no minimum spend.
- Quotes that name the operator and the tail before you commit.
Credentials, and what we will show you on request
We publish a claim only when the paperwork exists behind it. Ask for any of the following and you get the document rather than a reassurance: the air carrier certificate of the operator flying you, that operator's current third-party audit status with ARGUS or Wyvern where it holds one, the certificate of insurance with its liability limit, and our own errors-and-omissions cover as a broker.
The standard cuts both ways. If an operator's audit has lapsed, we say so and explain what we checked instead. If a tail was added to a certificate last month, we tell you that too. We hold to NBAA operating practice as the baseline for how a business-aviation trip should be run, and where our standard is stricter than the regulation, that is a choice rather than a marketing line.
Why South Florida is a specialist market
A desk that books Midwest business travel can be competent without ever filing an international manifest. Here, that is not an option. A meaningful share of what departs Opa-locka on a January morning is going somewhere that needs passports, an arrival appointment on the return and overwater equipment in the cabin. Knowing which fields have customs, which have hours, and which will keep you waiting on the ramp is ordinary competence in this market rather than a specialism.
The same applies to seasonality. Between December and April the fleet based here is committed and lead times stretch. Between June and November the price is better and the weather is the risk. Advice that ignores either half of that calendar is not advice. If you want to see how it plays out on a specific city pair, the routes hub has block times and price bands, and the South Florida destinations pages cover the markets we serve most.
When you are ready for a real number rather than a range, request a quote or contact the desk directly.
Frequently asked questions
Do you own the aircraft you sell?
No. We are a broker rather than an air carrier. Every flight is operated by a certificate holder that holds operational control, employs the crew and maintains the aircraft. We choose that operator, vet it against our own checklist, and manage the trip for you. The distinction determines who is legally responsible for the flight.
How do you make money?
A margin on the trip, included in the price you are quoted. There is no membership fee, subscription or annual retainer, and no charge for a quote that does not turn into a flight. If you want the margin broken out on a particular trip, ask and we will show you the operator's number alongside ours.
What areas do you cover?
We are based in Miami and specialise in South Florida — Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, the Keys and the Gulf coast — plus the Bahamas and the near Caribbean. We arrange flights nationwide and internationally from here. The destinations hub lists the cities and islands we cover in detail.
Will you tell me not to charter?
Yes, and reasonably often. Two people flying Miami to New York with flexible timing are almost always better served by a commercial ticket. A hundred-mile hop with three hours of margin is a car. We would rather lose one trip than sell a flight that makes no sense and lose the relationship.
