De-icing is free of charge again with New Flight Charters
The US brokerage is once again covering de-icing and hangar charges for client's flights this winter.
New Flight Charters has added no charge de-icing for the third straight winter season.

Jackson, Wyoming-based charter brokerage New Flight Charters has added, for the third straight winter season, no-charge de-icing for any trip.

By comparison, other on demand charter companies and some jet card or membership programmes invoice their customer for any de-icing or hangar fees. And in other provider programmes, de-icing costs are built into hourly rates, increasing customer costs whether de-icing is needed or not.

A typical light jet de-icing averages around $1,500, while midsize and larger charter jets range up to around $6,000, more in some cases. De-icing costs depend on several factors including the aircraft size, the airport's fees and how much de-icing fluid is required for the conditions.

New Flight Charters' clients can feel confident seeing their aircraft get de-iced and knowing it comes at no cost to them. With no add-ons to overall charter pricing, costs are covered from a company reserve used to support and serve clients.

Covering de-icing costs for clients is an added benefit to the company's best price guarantee, which has been in place since 2009. The company guarantees the best cost/quote for any trip and type/size aircraft and will beat any charter broker or operator qualified quote.

"Our flights and experiences should be seamless from beginning to end, and no one wants to get an additional invoice after their trip," says president Rick Colson. "Service level is a priority. In on demand charter we are only as good as our last trip, so we care greatly about every single charter experience, beginning to end. Our charter managers are some of the most experienced in the industry."
