A Private Sky Charter · Est. 1998

Borrow the horizon.

A small, considered fleet of vintage and modern aircraft — available by the hour, by the day, or by the long weekend.

No memberships. No theatre. Only altitude, the right pilot, and an itinerary on heavy stock.

§ 03 — By the Numbers

Twenty-six
years of clear sky.

What began as a single restored Cessna in a Hudson Valley hangar has become a quiet operation trusted by the privately curious — architects, photographers, families, festival directors.

§ 04 — How It Works

A short conversation, an itinerary, a confirmation. The rest is altitude.

Four steps.
Often three.

Avg. quote · 18 min / Avg. confirm · < 2 hrs / Wheels-up · same day
STEP / 01

Tell us
where.

A line by email, a call, a postcard if you must. Origin, destination, when you'd like to be in the air.

STEP / 02

We pair
the aircraft.

Range, weather, runway, mood. We match you to the right machine in the register.

STEP / 03

A quiet
confirmation.

A printed itinerary delivered, a captain's note, two paper boarding passes — never an app.

STEP / 04

You
depart.

No queues. The hangar door opens. Engine start at exactly the moment requested.

"We have flown commercial since. We have not enjoyed it since. Aerion ruins you, in the very best way."

Aside — Cabin Notes

The pre-flight
checklist.

A small ritual we run before every departure. We share it because it tells you everything you need to know about how an Aerion flight actually feels.

Dispatches from the hangar — pilots, instruments, weather, the occasional reverie.

Field
notes.

Issue · XXVII / Spring · MMXXVI / 03 entries this month

A morning over the Catskills

On flying low, slow, and home before the coffee shop opens.

N°27

The case for the propeller

Why slower can be better, and other heresies from a jet age.

Reykjavík, by ferry of the air

Three days, a Pilatus, and a hotel made entirely of glass.

§ 06 — Questions

A few
honest answers.

Do I need a membership to fly with Aerion? +

No. We do not run a membership programme, a jet card, or any tiered scheme. You request a flight and we fly you.

Where in the world can you operate? +

Anywhere our aircraft can refuel. The Pilatus and the Citation routinely cross oceans; the Bonanza prefers the Northeast and the Carolinas. We will tell you honestly which aircraft is right.

How is pricing calculated? +

Hourly block rate × estimated flight hours, plus landing fees and any overnight crew expenses. No surge pricing, no phantom charges, and you will see every line.

Can I learn to fly your aircraft? +

Some of them, yes. The Bonanza and the Pitts are available with our chief instructor for type-specific instruction once you hold the appropriate ratings.
