Air charter in Travel transportation
Air Charter is the official name for air taxi operations, defined by the FAA and operated under a series of rules, primarily the US Federal Code of Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 135, which specifies specific rules for experience, safety, and maintenance.
Air charter companies fly point-to-point, at the time requested by hiring customers, so that customers don't need to wait in-line at major hub airports. Safety, pilot qualifications, and many other considerations are overseen by the FAA.
Air charter companies often fly smaller aircraft that the FAA approves, with room for 3-9 (or more) passengers. Since aircraft with more than 9 passengers start to fall into the "commuter" size range, there are a number of extra requirements and costs that occur with more than 9 passenger seats per aircraft.
The new VLJ (very light jet) aircraft being delivered by Eclipse Aviation and others will typically seat 4-5 passengers, and offer a new set of choices for point-to-point flights.
