If I charter a plane, will I have access to the plane the entire day? Will the operator of the aircraft schedule other trips immediately before or after my scheduled departure times?
A4 The answer depends on the type of aircraft chartered. Airliners like Boeing 727s and DC-9s are expensive to own and operate. Likewise, operators of these planes during busy periods will often book their plane to fly as much as possible with reasonable margins of error to ensure that a delay from one client does not cause a delay for another client. Executive jets, on the other hand, are generally scheduled to fly only one client on a given day.
