How CharterSeek works

CharterSeek is an independent information service. We do not operate aircraft, broker flights, or accept compensation tied to a charter booking.

Price Index

Our price index presents indicative U.S. on-demand charter aircraft-time ranges by category. Initial benchmarks are compiled from publicly available 2026 rate guides and are presented as ranges because actual trip pricing varies materially by aircraft, geography, availability, season, fuel price, trip minimums, airport charges, taxes, and positioning.

Hourly ranges are not quotes or offers. A trip quote can include daily minimums, positioning/ferry time, federal excise tax, passenger segment tax, fuel surcharges, landing and handling, crew overnights, de-icing, catering and other items. Request an all-in written quote from a qualified provider.

Operator Directory

Directory records are derived from the FAA's Part 135 Operators and Aircraft list, which the FAA states is updated weekly. Records show certificate holders and associated aircraft from that dataset. A listing means that a record appeared in the source dataset; it is not an endorsement, safety rating, operating-status guarantee, or representation that an aircraft is currently available for charter.

Corrections

Operators and brokers may request corrections or claim their profiles at hello@charterseek.com. We will identify paid placement clearly if and when it becomes available.
