Q) What is air charter?
A) When you charter an aircraft, all the seats
belong to you and your party. As opposed to buying a ticket on a
scheduled carrier, air charter allows you to set your own schedule
and choose your own destinations.
Q)
How safe is air charter?
A) Turbine-powered corporate and charter aircraft
operations have one of the safest records in all widely used forms
of transportation, including the scheduled airlines. Vector Air
adheres to strict air regulations and safety standards and is fully
certified by both Transport Canada and the Federal Aviation Administration.
Our very experienced air and maintenance crews must also complete
recurrent training programs at regular intervals.
Q)
Does it cost more if I take extra people?
A) No. You are chartering the whole aircraft so
the cost is the same if you travel alone or fill the seats.
Q)
Can I purchase just one seat on an existing
charter flight?
A) Unfortunately this is not possible by virtue
of what charter offers travellers. One of the many attractions of
air charter for our clients is privacy, space and the ability to
conduct business en route.
Q)
How far in advance do I need to book?
A) Although we would appreciate as much notice
as possible, we are able to accomodate most trip requests on very
short notice. Subject to aircraft availability, we can have you
on your way in as little as 2 hours!
Q)
Vector Air is based in Peterborough - will I need to meet the aircraft
there to begin my trip.
A) No. Many of our trips originate from other cities
such as Toronto and Ottawa. Our home base of operations is centrally
located at the Peterbough Municipal Airport making it possible to
reposition the aircraft and crew at very reasonable rates.
Q)
Will I I have to use the major airport hubs when planning my trip.
A) Choosing an airport is a great opportunity to
save time while maximizing flexibility and convenience. In Canada,
scheduled airlines utilize only 26 airports while there are more
than 700 registered airports across the country. In the USA, a mere
500 airports are serviced by the commercial airlines while over
5000 are available for use to the private charterer. With literally
thousands more arrival and departure points available, air charter
travellers can significantly reduce time spent getting to and from
airports. Tell us where you need to be and we'll locate the closest
and most convenient airport for you and your party.
Q)
What are the times that we can depart?
A) Since we fly to meet your schedule, you determine
the departure and return times. You also have the option to advise
us of the time that you need to arrive at your destination and we'll
compute the appropriate departure time.
Q)
What if I need to change my schedule
or my destination(s)?
A) One of the key advantages of aircraft charter
is flexibility. Let us know if your travel requirements change and
we'll make the necessary arrangements.
Q)
When do I need to arrive at the airport in order to depart on time?
A) About 10 minutes before your departure time.
Your crew will have completed all preflight preparations and will
be standing by to escort you to your aircraft.
Q)How
much baggage is allowed?
A) It will vary depending on the total number of
passengers and the type of aircraft being used. In most situations,
20 lbs. per person can be carried aboard a charter. This is based
on all seats being filled on your flight. You could carry more if
your charter is not filled. Our flight coordinator will advise you
of the approximate baggage weight that can be accommodated.
Q)
Are refreshments provided during the flight?
A) Morning flights include complimentary coffee,
pasteries, juice, and newspapers. Afternoon/evening flights include
complimentary alcoholic beverages, soda, and snacks. Special catering
service can be provided upon request at an additional cost.
Q)
Is there in-flight entertainment?
A) Yes, our executive cabin is equipped with a
CD-ROM/DVD system and four LCD monitors. Passengers have the option
of relaxing with a movie or music from our onboard selection. Laptop
ports are also available for use during your flight.
