Jetpoint Aviation

Jetpoint Aviation is a private aviation company in the Dominican Republic. Its base is a hangar at the Dr. Joaquin Balaguer International Airport near Santo Domingo. The company says it is the first complete private aviation service provider in the country. It serves both individuals and corporations.

An industry veteran with a background as a professional pilot and flight operations manager founded the company. Jetpoint studies each client's needs and then suggests the best way to fly. The options range from one-time charters and jet card purchases, which are blocks of flight hours, to shared and sole ownership.

For charter clients, Jetpoint offers access to global booking software. It says the system lists over 6,000 aircraft and 2,000 operators worldwide. The company also offers aircraft management, along with advice on sales and acquisitions for current and future owners. Concierge services arrange the other parts of a client's jet travel.

Jetpoint is clear about its role in charter. It says it is not an aircraft operator and does not own or operate aircraft. It arranges flights with operators that hold FAR Part 135 approval, or the equivalent from a foreign aviation authority. Those operators keep full operational control of every charter flight. Jetpoint acts as a charter broker for its client, as defined by DOT rule 14 CFR part 295.

The fleet page describes six aircraft types. Turboprops are the most economical choice for short and mid-range trips and can use short or unimproved runways. Light jets suit short city hops and fly faster and higher than turboprops. Midsize jets add bigger cabins and more range. Super midsize jets suit transcontinental and longer regional flights.

Heavy jets are made for long-range flying, with speeds over 450 knots and non-stop range of over 5,000 miles. VIP airliners can carry large groups such as government staff, sports teams and company employees. They come in a high-density seat layout or a more luxurious executive layout.

Jetpoint lists the National Business Aviation Association and AOPA among its affiliations.
