What is the difference between an operator and a charter broker? An operator is FAA approved and operates specific aircraft approved by the FAA under special rules and regulations. A charter broker arranges aircraft charters through operators. Ventura Air is both an operator and a charter broker. We charter our own aircraft and arrange charters with others who we have experience with for years.
Can I rent an aircraft? Renting and chartering are different. To rent an aircraft you must be a pilot and go to a company like Air East Airways at Farmingdale, NY for small planes. Chartering is contracting an aircraft with crew for a specific trip or trips.
