Delaware sits close enough to the Northeast that most event trips are a short hop, which makes a same-night return realistic.
Festival and Premiere Travel
Festival schedules move, and a charter flight is the part of the trip that can move with them. We arrange travel for talent, executives and crew, and we can keep separate parties on separate aircraft where that is simpler.
Discretion for Talent and Crew
Discretion is usually part of the brief. Passenger details go only to the operator and the handling agents who need them to run the flight.
Schedules That Move Daily
Schedules at a festival change daily. We keep the return leg open where we can, and we will tell you honestly what it costs to hold an aircraft rather than release it and rebook.
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
