FAQs
Find quick answers to the most common questions
What is an On-Demand Charter?
On-Demand Charter is our pay-as-you-go private jet service with no membership fees or long-term commitments. You simply request a quote when you need to fly, and we handle all the details for a seamless private aviation experience and convenient Fin-Tech payment solutions.
How is On-Demand Charter different from True Skies Reserve?
Our On-Demand service requires no upfront deposit or commitment, making it ideal for occasional flyers (1-4 trips annually). True Skies, our funds-on-account program, requires a refundable deposit starting at $100,000 and offers enhanced benefits for frequent flyers, including wholesale pricing and additional perks.
How far in advance should I book an On-Demand Charter?
While we pride ourselves on handling last-minute requests efficiently, we recommend booking three to four weeks in advance or more for domestic flights and international travel and six weeks or more for peak period travel (around major US holidays) to ensure optimal aircraft selection of available aircraft and competitive pricing.
What types of aircraft are available for On-Demand Charter?
We provide access to all categories of private aircraft from turboprops to ultra-long-range jets through our global operator network. Aircraft selection is based on your specific requirements including passenger count, luggage needs, non-stop flight preferences, destination, and budget.
What is the True Skies program and how does it differ from traditional jet cards?
True Skies is YoungAero's innovative pre-paid charter program designed to deliver complete transparency in private aviation. Unlike traditional jet cards that often include hidden fees and markup pricing, True Skies provides direct access to wholesale operator pricing with a pre-determined service fee that is reduced the more you have on account with us. This means you see exactly what we see—including operator quotes and invoices—giving you unprecedented pricing clarity. Your travel funds remain fully refundable, and you enjoy flexible access to our vetted global operator network without the long-term commitments or complex hour calculations typical of jet cards.
What deposit tiers are available and what benefits come with each?
TrueSkies SILVERADO Access to our wholesale operator network with a flat services fee, optional TS Trip Protection for financial assurances, a quarterly $150 ground or hospitality credit. Complimentary carbon offsetting on each flight. $100,000 deposit TrueSkies SUMMIT Access to our wholesale operator network with a flat services fee, optional TS Trip Protection mechanical recovery coverage for financial assurance should an unforeseen mechanical lead to an aircraft replacement, a quarterly $150 ground or hospitality credit. Complimentary carbon offsetting on each flight. $250,000 deposit TrueSkies GLOBAL Custom-built for high-volume charter users with more complex service needs, from touring entertainers to clients with financial road-show needs to corporations. Access our international network of vetted tour and road-show friendly operators curated by a team with three decades of global tour jet experience. $500,000+ deposit
What is TS Trip Protection for mechanical recovery insurance and why is it important?
Mechanical recovery TS Trip Protection protects you from the unexpected costs that can arise when an aircraft experiences a mechanical issue (known as "Aircraft On Ground" or AOG events). When this happens, replacement aircraft often need to be chartered—sometimes at premium rates—to maintain your travel schedule. With True Skies, we cover 50-100% of these recovery costs (depending on your membership tier and aircraft type), potentially saving you thousands of dollars while ensuring travel continuity. This peace of mind coverage means you won't face sudden, unplanned expenses due to mechanical issues beyond your control—a benefit rarely included in standard charter arrangements.
Are there any aircraft restrictions or peak day limitations with True Skies?
No. Unlike many jet card programs that restrict aircraft types or impose blackout dates, True Skies offers complete flexibility. You can choose from any aircraft in our worldwide vetted operator network based on your specific needs for each trip. There are no peak day surcharges or blackout dates, giving you true freedom to fly when and how you want. Your deposit unlocks access to aircraft ranging from turboprops to ultra-long-range jets without category restrictions or complex interchange fees.
How does True Skies support environmental responsibility in private aviation?
Environmental responsibility is built into every True Skies flight. Through our partnership with 4AIR, a leading aviation sustainability pioneer, we provide 100% carbon offset on all flights at no additional cost to you. Each offset represents independently verified reductions of one metric ton of carbon dioxide through projects like renewable energy development, industrial efficiencies, and improved clean cooking methods. For clients wanting to make an even greater environmental impact, we offer optional upgrade tiers: - Emissions Neutral: Offset non-CO2 emissions for 300% total reduction - Beyond Neutral: Support the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) - Climate Champion: Fund breakthrough aviation technologies These initiatives ensure your private travel can align with your environmental values without compromising convenience or luxury.
