Accepted Answer

Chartering is pay-per-flight with no long-term commitment. A Jet Card involves prepaying into an account for discounted rates and priority access to a fleet. Fractional ownership means purchasing a share of an aircraft, providing the most owner-like experience with potential tax advantages and no Federal Excise Tax (FET) or day rates.

Empty leg flights occur when a private jet repositions without passengers. Silverhawk offers these at discounted flat-rate pricing: King Air from $750, Light Jet from $1,500, and Mid Jet from $2,500 for routes under 300 miles. Prices are per flight (not per person) and increase with distance. Available flights are listed on the Silverhawk website and mobile app.
