Differentiating Beyond Price – Your Tool Kit For Making Intelligent Jet Charter Decisions Part 1: Insurance Verification

Part 1 – Insurance Verification and Your Safety on Jet Charter Flights

In highly competitive markets, many smaller companies seeking to compete will cut corners to offer the lowest price. But cutting corners in aviation could mean the difference in arriving safely, or not. So how does one seeking to charter an aircraft differentiate beyond just price?

Our role as your air charter agent is to identify all relevant aircraft, ensure the proper certification, maintenance and safety of each plane and to create a competitive market for the proposed routing. Which is why as your trusted agent, Stratos Jets has created an educational series, a “tool kit” of information so that you – our deeply valued clients – can possess the means to make the best, most educated decisions when you are chartering your next flight. Our first topic centers on the subject of insurance verification.

Often times you will find that some our competitors are chartering flights that are NOT inclusive of the recommended or required insurance policies necessary. And when you book an aircraft for your customers, boss, or you and your family, don’t you need to be 100% sure that the flight meets your safety standards?

That’s why before every flight, you should demand to see the insurance policy that will be covering your trip. You should also be looking for a minimum of $20 million in coverage for turbo props, and at least $25 million in coverage for jets.

In this way, you can vet the companies and operators you are working with; to ensure that they have the proper insurance required to protect you and your passengers’ well being in every way possible. If they cannot produce this document, that’s your first sign, sadly, that your safety is NOT a top priority to the broker in question!

Stratos Jet Charters requires all flights are ARGUS or WYVERN certified and that the pilots, aircraft and charter operators meet or exceed all FAA requirements. Every one of our flights are operated by Part 135 carriers with exceptional safety records (including no safety breaches in the last 10 years), have pilots with the proper certifications, and the most hours on your specific aircraft and exemplary safety records, and our operators carry reliable and appropriate insurance policies, suitable for the importance of our clients.

At Stratos Jets, our top priority is to ensure your flight is the safest it can be. You won’t find another company more committed to your safety and your security. You should not settle for anything less!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month


Nearly everyone has either been directly affected by breast cancer, or knows someone who has been. The disease has struck millions across the country, and researchers are working very hard to find a cure -- with encouraging progress and success in recent years.

That’s why Stratos Jet Charters is proud to announce a very special offer this October, in conjunction with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for all survivors and their loved ones.


For every flight flown during the month of October, Stratos Jet Charters will donate $50 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and their crucial, ongoing research to find a cure. And to help us meet our donation goal of $5,000, Stratos Jet Charters will also match any client donation, up to $250.


Let’s do it for our mothers and our daughters, our sisters and our aunts, our nieces and our cousins and our dear friends.


To learn more about breast cancer awareness, research and support, please visit the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website or call 1-877 GO KOMEN (1-877-465-6636)


As always, best wishes, and let’s work together to help Find A Cure!
