Delaware group charter is straightforward once we know the headcount and what is traveling with everyone.
Moving a Squad
A team charter is a passenger count, a baggage problem and a fixed date. Get those three in front of us early and the rest follows. Equipment is usually what decides the aircraft, not the seat count.
Where the Part 121 Line Falls
Above nineteen passengers the trip calls for an airliner-size aircraft and moves to FAR Part 121 or the foreign equivalent. Below that, a midsize or heavy jet normally covers a traveling squad with its kit.
Return Timings After a Game
Return timings after a game are rarely known in advance. We build that flexibility in rather than pretending the schedule is fixed, and we confirm with the operator what the crew duty limits allow.
Delaware-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Two of Delaware’s three public airports have no control tower. New Castle (KILG) is the towered one, and Delaware Coastal (KGED) near Georgetown is attended from 8:00 in the morning until 6:00 in the evening, with the field unattended on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. That is normal for airports of this size, and it means a departure or arrival time is worth settling early rather than on the day.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Before we confirm anything, we check:
- 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)
- The operator’s safety and incident history
- That the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them
