With an impending snowstorm causing flight disruption, our client tasked us with ensuring their vacation went ahead.
Arranging a last-minute aircraft charter to the Caribbean
One of our regular clients in Washington D.C. got in touch with a same-day charter request ahead of a Caribbean vacation. With an approaching snowstorm causing flight disruption in the northeast United States, a private charter was needed to get the group of 5 passengers there on schedule. We set about finding a solution fast.
Our Solution
Routes: Washington D.C. > Puerto Rico
Aircraft: Gulfstream G–IVSP
We confirmed a charter booking within two hours of the request coming in, reaching out to our operator contacts to source a suitable aircraft that could position immediately.
The group had originally planned to land in Anguilla, a British overseas territory, but it was impossible to secure approval at such short notice. Instead, we re-routed the charter to the unincorporated US territory of Puerto Rico, avoiding the need for permits.
Our experts kept a close eye on weather warnings and liaised with the operator to ensure everything ran smoothly, with the group touching down in Puerto Rico in good time.

Extra Touches: We arranged for flight attendants to serve the client’s choice of wine and champagne during the flight.
