Koury Aviation FAQ
Air Charter FAQ
How many airports do you serve?
We have access to over 5000 US airports and also serve Canada, Mexico, Central America, Bermuda and the Caribbean. We will help you choose the most convenient airport for your departure point and for each leg of your trip.
What happens once I arrive at the airport?
Your pilots will be waiting for you. They will escort you to the airplane and load your baggage. Some airports allow you to drive your car right up to the aircraft to board. You will usually be airborne within a few minutes of your arrival at the airport. Your airplane waits for you at your destination and will depart on your schedule.
How much advance notice is required to book a trip?
As little as two hours if a crew and one of our aircraft are available. Our aircraft are reserved on a first come first served basis.
How is the base cost of my trip determined?
You will be renting the entire airplane rather than just one seat as with the airlines. Therefore the cost of your trip will be the same whether you have one passenger or eight passengers. Each aircraft has an hourly flight rate and average cruise speed. We estimate the time required to fly your trip and provide a firm quote to you when you make a reservation.
What other charges apply?
Tax: Federal Excise Tax is currently 7.5% plus $3.70 per leg per passenger.
Overnight Charge: You pay for hotel rooms and meals for the crew if necessary.
Expenses: Ramp fees, de-icing fees, landing fees, special catering fees, etc are charged at actual cost. These fees may vary widely depending on which airports you choose to use. Some trips may have no special expenses while others may incur several hundred dollars. We will make every effort to advise you about expenses we can anticipate in advance.
