Air Charter Virgin Islands

Air Charter Virgin Islands arranges private jet and helicopter charters to and from the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. The company is a charter broker. It arranges each flight with a certified operator rather than owning or flying the aircraft itself. It has more than a decade of experience with flights in the Caribbean.

The company can access more than 10,000 private planes around the world. It finds turboprops, business jets and larger aircraft for each trip. Every aircraft, pilot and operator is vetted under strict safety standards. Brokers are not required by law to run safety checks, and the company goes beyond that.

Passenger charters cover many aircraft types. These include helicopters, piston aircraft, turboprops, very light, light, super light, midsize, super midsize, heavy and long range jets, and VIP airliners. Air cargo charter and non-emergency medical air ambulance flights are also offered.

The company has pages for each island it serves. These include St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John in the US Virgin Islands, and Tortola, Virgin Gorda and Anegada in the British Virgin Islands. St. John has no airport, so visitors reach it by ferry from St. Thomas.

Cyril E. King Airport on St. Thomas has a 7,000 foot runway. Henry E. Rohlsen Airport on St. Croix has the longest runway in the territory, at 10,002 feet. Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island, Tortola, is the main field in the British Virgin Islands. Turboprops and light aircraft suit it best. Larger aircraft use St. Thomas or San Juan with a short onward leg.

Trips to the US Virgin Islands need extra planning. The territory sits outside the customs territory of the United States. The operator must contact US Customs and Border Protection before a flight leaves for another US location. Flights between the US and British Virgin Islands are international trips in both directions.

The company can also arrange ground transport at both ends, ferries, and catering suited to the aircraft. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and it offers quotes and advice on charter options. Its corporate office is outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and it works with clients and operators worldwide.
