Why Mac Jets

A leaner way to fly private.

The charter industry is built on layers. Mac Jets cuts through them. You get the same aircraft, sourced from the same operators, at a price that reflects what the plane actually costs to fly.

i.
Direct sourcing

No call centers, no junior brokers, no handoffs. You work with me from quote to wheels-down — the same person who answers when you text at 11pm.

ii.
Transparent pricing

Quotes itemized line by line: aircraft cost, fuel, FET, segment tax, brokerage fee. No mystery markups, no surprise add-ons at billing.

iii.
Same fleet, less margin

I source from the exact operators the major brokerages use. The difference is what gets stacked on top — I keep margins lean and pass it through.

The process

From request to runway in four steps.

01 —
You send the trip

Route, dates, passengers, anything special — bags, pets, catering. A text or email is enough.

02 —
I source options

Within hours you get 2–3 vetted aircraft options across categories, with all-in pricing and operator details.

03 —
You choose, I lock it

Pick the aircraft. Contract signed, plane secured, deposit handled — usually same day.

04 —
Door to door

Catering, ground transport, FBO coordination, crew briefing — handled. You show up. We fly.

The difference

Why direct beats brokered.

Most charter quotes pass through three or four hands before reaching you. Each one takes a margin. Here's what changes when you cut to one.

Traditional brokerage
15–25% markup, layered.
  • Quote bounced between sales rep, manager, ops
  • Markup stacked at each layer
  • Different point of contact every call
  • Surprise fees disclosed at billing
  • 24-hour response times common
  • Generic catering, generic ground
Mac Jets
Lean. Direct. Transparent.
  • One person, quote to landing
  • Single transparent commission
  • Direct cell, direct email, always
  • Itemized quote, every charge listed
  • Quotes back same day, often within hours
  • Catering and ground tailored per trip
"Private aviation should feel personal. Most of the industry forgot that."

About

Built by a broker who got tired of the script.

I spent years inside the major charter brokerages — selling jet cards, booking trips, watching clients get charged 20% more than they needed to so the company could expand its sales team.

Mac Jets is the alternative. No corporate overhead. No script. Just direct access to a broker who knows the operators, knows the aircraft, and works for the client — not a quarterly target.

If you're tired of being passed around, send me a trip. I think you'll see the difference.
