Thank you for visiting Desert Jet’s blog! Desert Jet is the only jet charter company based in the Palm Springs area. Why call a charter broker when you can come directly to the source for the best charter flight options available to and from the Palm Springs area?
With aircraft and offices at the Palm Springs International Airport, the Bermuda Dunes Airport and the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport, it’s clear why Desert Jet is the choice of so many local residents and visitors.
Desert Jet offers the only jet charter aircraft based at both the Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Thermal and the Bermuda Dunes Airport. Desert Jet was recently granted the “preferred jet provider” status at Bermuda Dunes Airport, an honor never before granted to any other charter company. We are also the preferred aircraft charter company for several of the private golf and country clubs in the desert resorts region. Call us now to experience why so many in the desert now use Desert Jet exclusively for all of their travel needs, whether in the desert or while at their summer homes.
In addition to the best pricing and service locally, we have instantaneous access to a nationwide network of affiliate aircraft, matching you with aircraft flying empty throughout the country and beyond to give you the best one-way pricing available at any particular moment. Our proprietary system allows us to view all the empty legs and aircraft availability instantly.
There’s more to pricing, though, when it comes to booking an air charter flight. Safety is our #1 priority at Desert Jet.
Desert Jet’s pilots are the most experienced pilots in the industry, with none having less than 6000 hours of flight experience and several thousands of hours in aircraft type. Every pilot on staff is an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP)-rated Captain with significant flight experience in corporate aircraft. Compare this to the hiring minimums for most fractional and charter operators – a mere 2500 hours.
Desert Jet has three NBAA (National Business Aviation Association) Certified Aviation Managers on staff – the only air charter company in the world to lay claim to this achievement, and the only aircraft charter and management company that permits only CAMs to manage clients’ multi-million dollar assets. Desert Jet’s charter experts also hold FAA airmen certification, ensuring that every charter booked is a safe one. Desert Jet is one of only a few charter companies globally that are IS-BAO registered. The IS-BAO is a global aviation “best practices” standard that no air charter brokers meet, and only a few aircraft charter companies have achieved.
Desert Jet’s complimentary concierge service enhances your flight experience. From personal car services to special pet transportation, we offer every service imaginable to help make your travels more pleasant.
In addition to offering superior aviation-related services to our clients, we are especially proud and honored to be able to give back to our community. Desert Jet donates a majority of annual profits to worthy causes that can be assisted with our aircraft.
In the past year, we have used our aircraft to transport abused dogs rescued from puppy mills, to fly children to Camp Laurel, a summer camp for children living with HIV and AIDS and have donated our aircraft for use in fundraising auctions benefiting the Boys and Girls Club and other local charities. Desert Jet also sponsors an aviation scholarship presented by Women in Aviation and is a repeat participant in Cessna’s Special Olympics Airlift. Desert Jet is committed to improving the world around us, and with your support, we can do more.
