Atlantic City Jet Charter arranges passenger charter to and from Atlantic City in every size of aircraft, from a turboprop for a trip around the Northeast to a long range jet to Europe. The right category for your trip comes down to four things: how far you are going, how many people are traveling, how much baggage is coming, and which airport suits the trip at each end.
Aircraft Categories
- Helicopters, for short flights where the landing spots and conditions suit one
- Piston aircraft for short regional trips with one or two passengers
- Turboprops for the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic with a small group
- Very light jets for two to four people on a regional trip
- Light jets for Florida, the Southeast, the Midwest and the Bahamas
- Super light jets for longer trips with more baggage
- Midsize jets for Texas, Denver and the Caribbean
- Super midsize jets for Las Vegas and the West Coast in one leg
- Heavy jets for larger groups on long flights
- Long range jets for Europe
- VIP airliners for groups that outgrow a heavy jet
Each category page lists the aircraft we arrange in it, with cabin, range and seating for each type.
Choosing a Category for Your Trip
Distance decides a lot on a trip to or from Atlantic City. Teterboro is about 90 nautical miles away, Boston around 240, Palm Beach approximately 815, Nassau about 880 and Las Vegas around 1,900, while London is just over 3,000. A light jet covers Florida, the Bahamas and most of the eastern half of the country, Denver and the Caribbean suit a midsize jet or larger, a nonstop to Las Vegas or the West Coast calls for a super midsize jet, and Europe calls for a long range jet. Convention groups and families moving down to the Shore for the summer often bring a lot of luggage, so tell us the passenger count and the baggage at the start.
Part 135 is the FAA’s set of rules for on-demand, for-hire charter. When your total passenger count outgrows a heavy jet and the group consists of more than nineteen passengers, the aircraft required would fall into regional airliner, or airliner-size. These trips would no longer fall under the FAR Part 135 standards but possibly operate under FAR Part 121 or foreign equivalent standards. Part 121 and equivalent generally carry stricter crew and operating requirements than FAR Part 91 and FAR Part 135.
Most private trips use Atlantic City International (ACY) in Egg Harbor Township, and Cape May County Airport, Philadelphia and the New York-area airports are the other options. The runway a particular aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and your advisor confirms it with the operator before anything is booked.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
