Admiral Jet

Admiral Jet is a private jet and helicopter charter company with its UK head office in Ramsgate. It arranges flights for clients around the world and says its team has more than 50 years of experience in aviation.

Admiral Jet works as a charter broker. It finds aircraft from a worldwide network of operators and checks each one before it makes an offer. The company is a member of the Air Charter Association. It vets suppliers for full aircraft operating certificates, expert crew and public liability insurance, and it repeats these checks for established operators.

The company runs around the clock, every day of the year. It says it does not use automated messages or call centres. Each client gets a personal account manager. During booking, the team offers at least two aircraft options within an hour of an enquiry and confirms passenger needs such as diet, health and medical needs. In many cases, a jet can be ready within two hours of booking. Flights leave from private terminals, and pets are welcome.

Charter services cover VIP charter, VIP ground transport, helicopter charter, airline charter, corporate charter, crew movements, cargo charter and medical charter. Empty leg flights are listed too. Clients include business travellers, families, governments, the music industry, sports teams, travel agents and personal assistants who book for others.

The aircraft guide covers many sizes. Very light jets suit short trips and seat four or five passengers. Light, midsize and super midsize jets suit longer regional and European flights. Heavy jets and ultra-long range jets are made for longer trips, including intercontinental routes. Turboprops and commuter aircraft such as the Jetstream 31, Dornier 328 and Saab 340 suit short routes and groups of 18 to 50. Helicopters such as the AW109, Bell 429 and EC135 suit short transfers and events.

The company has a loyalty scheme called Altitude Rewards. On the environment, it offers a carbon offsetting programme and a programme that restores native woodland near London.
