Who We Are
Salt Lake City Jet Charter is a private jet charter broker, which means we arrange your flight with a certified operator rather than owning or flying the aircraft ourselves. What we do for you is the work that happens before an aircraft is confirmed. We work as advisors, and we do the extra work that is not required.
We are not the largest broker in the industry and we do not arrange the most flights. Our first priority on every trip is the safety of the people on board. You will also know who arranged your flight and why that operator was chosen.
Flying Out of Salt Lake City
Most charter requests here are shaped by two things: the mountains and the season. Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC/SLC) sits at just over 4,200 feet at the mouth of the canyon system, with a control tower that operates around the clock and customs landing rights for international arrivals. Those are the facilities of a full international airport, which is unusual for a market this close to a dozen ski resorts.
From the airport, Ski Utah puts roughly eleven resorts within about an hour in good conditions. Snowbird is 32 miles, Alta and Solitude 34, Brighton 36, Park City Mountain 37 and Deer Valley 39, with Snowbasin at 45 and Powder Mountain 57 to the north. Those are ideal-condition figures. The canyon roads are among the most weather-affected in Utah and the Cottonwood canyons close for avalanche control, so we plan the ground leg as carefully as the flight.
Three other fields are worth considering, depending on where you are going and which aircraft you are on. Heber Valley Airport (KHCR/HCR) is far closer to Park City and Deer Valley and avoids the canyon drive altogether. Provo Airport (KPVU/PVU) serves the south end of the valley. Ogden-Hinckley Airport (KOGD/OGD) is the natural arrival for Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. Every one of these fields sits above 4,200 feet, and Heber Valley is higher than that, so elevation and temperature affect aircraft performance in a way they do not at sea level. Your advisor and the operator will confirm which aircraft suits the airport on the day of your flight.
Where We Are
Our corporate office is just outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and we work with clients and operators worldwide. We may not be based at the airport you are flying out of, but we can arrange aircraft in your local area and you can expect a competitive quote.
We have been arranging charter since 2012, and in that time we have built working relationships with operators and service providers around the world.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
