Chartered air transportation market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. The factors that are driving the market include the growing use of air transportation for quick travel and business travel purposes. Additionally, companies are offering new and innovative services to increase travelers’ interest in charter travel. For instance, in March 2023, Airble Aviation Inc., which debuted its online marketplace for charter flights, aviation tours, and empty legs in 2022, announced that it is still adding new partners. The firm, like Airbnb or VRBO, acts as a middleman, making it simpler for individuals to book these sorts of aircraft experiences. Airble is an online platform that enables passengers to compare and reserve private flights. Through the website and app, customers can book an entire aircraft and share seats with anyone they choose. Airble also tracks "empty legs," where aircraft are returning to their home base without passengers. Travelers can book these seats at reduced prices, with the added convenience of avoiding the queues and security delays associated with traditional air travel.

Segmental Outlook  

The global chartered air transportation market is segmented by type. Based on type, the market is sub-segmented into passenger chartered air transportation and freight chartered air transportation.

The Passenger Chartered Air Transportation Segment Holds a Prominent Share in the Global Chartered Air Transportation Market

With passenger chartered air transportation, customers can customize their travel experience according to their specific needs and preferences. They can choose the aircraft type, departure and arrival times, and even the in-flight amenities. This level of personalization is not possible with commercial airlines. Additionally, customers have more flexibility in terms of flight schedules and routes. They can fly to smaller airports that are not served by commercial airlines and change their itinerary at short notice. Hence, the segment is growing.

Regional Outlook

The global chartered air transportation market is segmented based on geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others), and the rest of the world (the Middle East and Africa and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among the regions, the North American region is expected to generate the highest market share, followed by Asia-Pacific. The regional players with the largest fleet sizes are Deer Jet, Club One Air, and Australian Corporate Jet Centres. Charter service companies are expanding their fleets to meet the growing demand for on-demand flights. Service providers are introducing membership programs and new packages in order to improve their market share in the region. The market's tremendous potential has also enticed numerous charter service providers located in the US and Europe to extend their operations across Asia.

Global Chartered Air Transportation Market Growth, by Region (2023-2030)

The North American Region is Expected to Dominate the Global Chartered Air Transportation Market

The evolving aviation emission standards, as well as the diverse clientele's desire to customize their travel experience, have increased demand for newer-generation aircraft. Furthermore, the existence of many high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in North America has had a favorable influence on the market's demand-side dynamics. According to the Credit Suisse Research Institute's Global Wealth Report for 2019, the region had about 84,035 ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Aircraft charter operators are embracing cutting-edge innovation technologies to deliver a comprehensive portfolio of flight offers, ranging from fixed-price charter to bespoke membership programs, to give a personalized experience. For instance, XO Global LLC, a prominent charter service provider located in the US, offers turnkey solutions to give an asset-light alternative to full jet ownership and the inflexible, non-refundable jet card and fractional jet ownership models. To provide a distinct level of service even when reserving single tickets on shared flights, the firm has a fleet of 116 owned aircraft and 1,500 partner operator aircraft. Numerous other charter operators are competing for clients by establishing various programs that enhance convenience, dependability, and efficiency. Such improvements are expected to boost the commercial possibilities of North American charter jet service providers in the forecast period.
