PilotPrivate is the editorial reference for private aviation — charter, jet cards, fractional ownership, aircraft specs, airports, and routes. We publish the numbers other operators hide behind quote forms. We do not broker flights and we do not take affiliate fees.
What does PilotPrivate cover?
PilotPrivate covers every dimension of private aviation that owners, charterers, and operators actually act on. The catalog spans 320+ aircraft models with full specs, 1,900 airports and FBOs, 4,400 route pairs with real cost data, and editorial coverage of charter, jet cards, fractional ownership, costs, comparisons, destinations, ground transport, tax and legal, insurance, buying, management, and corporate aviation.
Who writes for PilotPrivate?
PilotPrivate Editorial is the in-house editorial team that produces every article on the site under the byline “Staff.” The editorial team consolidates working knowledge from former charter brokers, fractional program members, aircraft management operators, and aviation tax advisors into a single reference. Articles cite specific regulations (FAR Part 91, Part 135, IRC §168, §1031, §274, §469), name operators and aircraft directly, and quote real pricing without affiliate filtering.
How is PilotPrivate different from a broker site?
Most private aviation coverage online is published by brokers and operators whose business model depends on hiding pricing until a customer fills out a quote form. We publish the numbers. We name operators, programs, aircraft, and airports. We rank programs head-to-head, including against the operators we cover. We accept no affiliate commission, finder's fee, or operator sponsorship.
How does PilotPrivate make money?
PilotPrivate operates as an editorial reference, not a brokerage. We do not sell charter, jet cards, fractional shares, or any other aviation product. The site does not carry display advertising. There is no quote form on any page. Future revenue paths under consideration include premium subscription access to underlying data and structured reports — none of which would change the editorial independence of any article published on the site.
How can I reach the editorial team?
