Business travel to Martha’s Vineyard is usually a day trip that has to work in both directions, and the return leg is the one worth settling first.
When Your Aircraft Is Unavailable
When a scheduled maintenance slot overruns or an aircraft goes unserviceable, a flight department needs a replacement that meets the same standard, not merely one that is available. That is the call we are set up to take.
Matching the Standard You Already Fly
We confirm the operator holds a current FAR Part 135 certificate, review the operator’s safety and incident history, and confirm the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the type. Where an operator takes part in the ARGUS or Wyvern audit programs we reference those too.
How Quickly We Can Move
How fast we can move depends on the aircraft size and the airport. Below nine passenger seats into Martha’s Vineyard we have real flexibility. Above nine, the airport’s twenty-four hour prior permission sets the floor, and we will say so rather than quote a time we cannot hold to.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
July and August are the island’s peak and the airport is busiest then, so a summer date is worth asking about early and a holiday weekend, even earlier. Winter is the opposite problem: the island is quiet, but the tower day is short.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Before we confirm anything, we check:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- The operator’s safety and incident history
- That the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them
