How Chartright Air Group is Changing the Way Canadians Access Private Jets

Private flying used to be rare in Canada. That has changed fast.

More Canadians are flying private than ever before. Not just celebrities. This trend extends beyond CEOs. Families. Business teams. Couples. All are using private jets.

After two decades in aviation and travel, I’ve watched private flying grow. What once felt rare now serves everyday business trips, weekend escapes, and urgent travel needs across Canada and the U.S. For years, private jet travel seemed out of reach. It was costly. It was hard to book. And it was mostly limited to Toronto and Montreal.

Now, that model is fading.

The Chartright Air Group is expanding its reach. They offer flights that are faster, simpler, and closer to home. You no longer need to own a jet. Neither do you need to shell out six figures annually.

You just need a plan that fits. And Chartright is building that plan for Canadians.

The Problem: Traditional Barriers to Private Jet Travel

Private jets were once seen as out of reach. Most people believed they were only for the ultra-rich.

Here’s why many Canadians stayed away:

  • Costs were unpredictable and high

  • Most private jets were based in Toronto or Montreal

  • Small cities had no access

  • Booking was complex

  • Travelers had no flexible options

  • Ownership came with heavy management duties

This kept many travellers on commercial airlines. Even those who could afford better avoided private air. They didn’t want risk. They didn’t want stress.

Chartright’s Solution: Changing the Model

Chartright now offers private jet access in smarter ways. Not everyone wants full ownership. Many want better control. Less waste. Fewer unknowns.

Let’s look at how they’re solving this:

JetClub Membership (10-Hour Blocks)

JetClub lets travellers book in hours—not full trips or leases. You buy 10 hours at a time.

This is ideal for:

  • Cottagers who fly a few times per year

  • Business owners who attend quarterly events

  • Families planning summer getaways

JetClub members skip complex pricing. They fly the same jet every time. They get fast boarding and real support.

No long-term deal. There are no unexpected fees. Just for flight hours, you can use it anytime.

Light Jet Leasing Program

For more frequent flyers, leasing makes sense. Chartright offers 6- or 12-month leases.

You don’t need to own the jet. You just fly it when you need to. You pick your schedule. Chartright handles the rest.

This works well for:

  • Company executives with regular meetings

  • Medical staff who travel often

  • Sports professionals during their season

Leasing includes the pilot, fuel, and maintenance. The cost is fixed each month. No surprise bills.

Aircraft Management for Owners

Some clients own jets. But they don’t want to manage them.

Chartright offers full-service aircraft management. You fly your jet when you need. Chartright charters out your jet when you don’t need it.

This gives owners income. It also keeps jets active and flight-ready.

Chartright handles:

  • Maintenance and safety

  • Scheduling and bookings

  • Insurance and compliance

This makes jet ownership easier and less costly.

Regional Expansion: Access Outside Major Cities

Access used to mean Toronto or nothing. That’s no longer true.

Chartright has expanded across Canada. You’ll find them in:

  • Calgary

  • Vancouver

  • Campbell River

  • Waterloo

  • Muskoka

  • Edmonton

Edmonton is a growing hub for business, sports, and government travel. Chartright now offers full private jet charter services from Edmonton International Airport (YEG).

Clients from Edmonton can fly nonstop to U.S. cities, northern Alberta, and remote worksites. This reduces travel time and boosts efficiency.

Chartright’s Edmonton operations support:

  • Corporate executives

  • Energy and mining professionals

  • Families heading to vacation properties

  • Same-day cross-border travel

Jets are based locally. That means no repositioning fees. Flights can depart on short notice.

This helps Edmontonians skip layovers and fly direct.

Fleet Variety: The Right Jet for Every Trip

Chartright’s fleet includes:

  • Light jets (short trips, 4–6 people)

  • Midsize jets (2–4 hours, 6–8 people)

  • Super-mids (coast to coast, 8–10 people)

  • Heavy jets (long-range, 10+ people)

  • Helicopters and turboprops for remote access

You don’t overpay for a jet you don’t need. You choose the right aircraft. You fly with comfort and control.

Pricing Transparency & Predictability

Chartright shows you the full cost upfront. No hidden fuel fees. No surprise landing charges.

JetClub and leasing clients know the price in advance. That’s rare in this industry.

For one-time flights, quotes are clear. They include:

  • Aircraft type

  • Flight time

  • Crew cost

  • Ground services

That’s it. What you see is what you pay.

Safety, Service, and Support

Every flight follows Transport Canada regulations. Chartright uses certified pilots. Aircraft pass strict inspections.

Flight support runs 24/7. You get:

  • Real-time updates

  • Weather tracking

  • Emergency response options

  • Full trip management

It’s safe. It’s reliable. And it works.

Real Example: JetClub in Action

Paul is a Toronto-based tech founder. He spends part of each summer in Muskoka.

He joined JetClub with 10 hours. Last year, he flew:

  • Toronto to Muskoka (2 times)

  • Toronto to New York (1 trip)

  • Toronto to Ottawa (1 trip)

His cost: Under $40,000 CAD for the season. No delays. No baggage lines. Total time saved: 20+ hours.

He now renews every summer.

Final Thoughts: Flying Private Is Now Practical

Chartright is changing how Canadians use private jets. It’s not only for the wealthy. It’s for smart travellers.

Whether you fly once a year or once a month, there’s a program that fits. Chartright makes it simple. Flexible. Local.

The goal is not luxury for show. It’s time. It’s comfort. It’s control. And in 2025, more Canadians will take off this way.
