HauteJets

HauteJets is a private jet charter broker based in Miami, Florida. It arranges flights for travelers around the world through a network of more than 3,500 vetted aircraft in 175 countries.

The company was founded by Haute Living, a luxury lifestyle media brand with 19 years in business. HauteJets says it is a broker, not an operator. It arranges flights with operators rated Wyvern Wingman, ARGUS Gold or Platinum, or IS-BAO. It says maintenance records, pilot experience and insurance are checked independently.

Clients do not need a jet card, a membership or a deposit. They book flight by flight and pay only for what they fly. The company says this avoids the large upfront commitments that many private aviation firms ask for. It notes that it is an NBAA member and reports more than 2,400 flights booked.

The process has three steps. First, the client asks for a quote by call, text or email with the route, dates and number of passengers. Second, the client picks the exact aircraft, including year, make, model, Wi-Fi and cabin layout. Third, the team handles weather and aircraft readiness, and sends the tail number and passenger list 24 hours before departure.

The company says quotes arrive within 60 minutes, with an average of 22 minutes. A concierge team in Miami is available 24 hours a day, every day. It handles aircraft choice, crew checks, catering and ground transport.

The fleet is grouped into light jets for four to six passengers, super light jets for six to seven, midsize jets for up to eight, super midsize jets for up to nine, heavy jets for 10 to 14 and ultra long range jets for 12 to 16. Turboprops carry six to nine passengers. Examples listed include the Pilatus PC-12, King Air 350, Citation CJ3, Learjet 45XR, Phenom 300, Hawker 900XP, Challenger 300, Gulfstream GIVSP, Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650ER.

HauteJets also offers group charter. It also has a travel service called Haute Black and pages for destinations, with example routes such as Miami to The Hamptons, New York to Los Angeles and Miami to Aspen.
