passengers is most likely going to be a jet. A jet? Not neccessarily. Nine pax over 400 miles is usually a cabin-class twin or a turboprop. The KingAir200 has the most name recognition. In any case, my comments still stand. Your comment about advertising is not right. The DOT has been fining persons who hold out air transportation to the public without the proper certifications. If you do not have an air taxi certificate, or are officially recognized as a a broker, you are subject to fines. D. |

No jet or twin turboprop can do the trip for $150 per person one way. A
Caravan probably could. Mike MU-2 wrote in message ups.com... There are a number of us living in the same metropolitan area who go to the same large college about 400-plus miles away, with no direct airline service between the cities. There are about 10 of us, give or take. I am thinking this *might* be a sizable enough group to potentially charter a jet from a suburban airport to College Town for short trips home (i.e. Thanksgiving, etc.), thus saving us the headache of driving and making the trip home a lot quicker. Since there are potentially kids from the College Town area who also go to school here, I was thinking of maybe advertising some form of private charter service back-and-forth, so those kids could have a direct hop home as well. Questions: 1.) Is there a general market rate for rental of a smaller, non-executive private aircraft? 2.) Would it be legal for me to "advertise" (I use the word in the informal sense) this as a transportation service, without being filed as an air carrier? 3.) Could this be done for, say, around $150/person each way, or even less? Just curious... --ss |
