Canada-based Chartright Air Group has increased its successful Aircraft Lease Program to include seven to 10 passenger mid-size and super mid-size jets. This expansion, driven by growth and customer feedback, strategically targets a key market niche between charter clients and aircraft owners.

The programme has gained popularity for its simplicity, providing clients with short-term, low commitment access, clear and predictable pricing, and just two transparent fees. Introduced in September 2023, it originally offered just light jet lease availability through a one-year renewable term, no positioning fees, all-in hourly rate, and guaranteed availability. It now includes three categories of aircraft – light, mid and super mid-size jets – providing comprehensive coast-to-coast coverage.

Occupied hourly rates are: light jet $2,500; mid-size jet $3,500; super mid-size jet $4,500.

Supported by Chartright”s diverse fleet, the programme guarantees availability and requires only a one-year lease commitment. It offers the benefits of aircraft ownership without the long-term obligations associated with ownership. Additional features include the flexibility to access the entire fleet via the Swap Ratio Program and the newly introduced Quick Return Discount, which is tailor-made for shorter trips spanning a few days and returning to the original departure location.

“We noticed that some shared ownership clients were coming to us seeking a more cost-effective solution for shorter and multi-leg trips,” says VP of sales and marketing David Shaver. “In response, we introduced the Quick Return Discount, which not only extends the hours available for use but offers flexibility with specific route profiles and the benefits of guaranteed pricing and aircraft availability.”
