Charter your own private jet
Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, our charter team is on hand 24/7/365 to understand your trip and find the right aircraft for it. Your time is the point, so we work around it.
Private jet charter lets you travel when you choose, to and from the airports most convenient for you. We can fly you directly between regional airports across the country and around the world, with no crowds, no security lines and no connections.
As a broker, we are not tied to one fleet. We compare aircraft from FAA Part 135 operators that meet our safety standards, then recommend the best fit for your route, group and budget, with every cost shown up front.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to charter a private jet?
Most US charters are priced per flight hour. In 2026, light jets typically run $4,000 to $5,900 per hour, midsize jets $5,000 to $7,200, super midsize $6,500 to $9,800 and heavy jets $8,500 to $13,000, before taxes and fees. Use our charter cost calculator for a trip-specific estimate.
Is Ambition Jets an operator or a broker?
Ambition Jets is a charter broker. We do not own or operate aircraft. We arrange your flight with FAA Part 135 certificated operators that hold operational control, and we vet each operator's safety record and ratings before quoting.
How far in advance do I need to book?
There is no minimum. Many trips are booked a few days out, and same-day flights are often possible when an aircraft and crew are nearby. Booking earlier gives more choice of aircraft and better pricing, especially around holidays and major events.
Can I book a one-way private flight?
Yes. One-way trips are usually priced with the aircraft's return to base included. If an aircraft is already repositioning on your route, an empty-leg flight can cost significantly less, so ask us to check.
