The Backup Plan That’s Changing the Way Private Jet Travel Works

Jet delays happen. Charter Flight Support offers the backup plan that keeps your trip moving—without budget shocks.

Private jet travel is the pinnacle of luxury, efficiency, and control—but when a mechanical failure grounds your aircraft hours before departure, that control disappears fast.

Whether you’re a broker, an operator, or the owner of the aircraft, an AOG (Aircraft on Ground) can create a high-stakes scramble: scrambling for a replacement, breaking the bank, or worse—disappointing an ultra-VIP client.

That’s the moment Charter Flight Support (CFS) was built for.

Led by aviation veteran Josh Allen, CFS introduces a flat-rate, fixed-cost mechanical recovery service that protects your trip, your budget, and your client relationships. For a fraction of the flight cost, it guarantees you a seamless solution—no begging favors, no surprise invoices.

The Pain of a Grounded Jet

In the podcast, Josh recounts the pressure of having to solve last-minute breakdowns during peak travel days. Presidents' Day weekend? Seattle weather? Charter demand surging? That’s the perfect storm—and it happens more often than many are willing to admit.

Without a structured backup plan, brokers burn margin, operators take reputational hits, and jet owners pay double for inferior backup solutions. Charter Flight Support breaks that cycle by preparing you ahead of time.

How It Works

  • Fixed Cost Add-On: A small fee at booking covers full mechanical recovery.

  • Rapid Response: Backup aircraft sourced within hours—CFS handles logistics and payment.

  • Coverage Flexibility: Plans cover up to 2x the value of the original flight.

  • Peace of Mind: Clients never feel the disruption—your reputation stays intact.

In an industry where time, trust, and discretion are currency, having a built-in recovery plan is no longer optional. It’s essential.
