Chartering a private jet in Canada is no longer a complex process reserved for a select few. With Jetbay’s digital-first approach, the experience is fast, transparent, and completely tailored to your schedule.

Here’s how the private jet booking process works.

Step 1: Submit Your Flight Request

Everything begins with your flight details. Simply visit Jetbay’s private jet charter page or contact the 24/7 team directly via WhatsApp, phone, or email.

You’ll be asked for a few key details:

Departure and destination airports
Preferred date and time
Number of passengers
Special requirements (such as catering, pets, medical needs, or aircraft type)

Once submitted, Jetbay’s proprietary algorithm searches a network of over 10,000 aircraft across Canada and the world, instantly identifying available options that best match your request.

Step 2: Receive Your Tailored Quote

Within hours, you’ll receive a detailed quotation package outlining aircraft options, prices, and flight details.

Each quote includes transparent breakdowns — aircraft type, flight time, hourly rate, and total cost. There are no hidden fees or last-minute add-ons. You can review options side by side, from light jets for short hops to heavy jets for intercontinental travel, complete with aircraft photos and cabin descriptions. For urgent or last-minute charters, Jetbay can provide availability within minutes through its 24-hour operations desk.

Step 3: Confirm and Secure Your Flight

Once you’ve selected your preferred aircraft, you’ll receive a flight confirmation document containing the final itinerary, passenger manifest form, and payment details.

Jetbay accepts major payment methods, including bank transfers, corporate accounts and selected digital payment systems.

After confirmation, your aircraft is reserved, and a dedicated Flight Manager is assigned to your trip. This person becomes your single point of contact, handling everything from ground transportation to catering arrangements.

Step 4: Pre-Flight Coordination and Customisation

In the days leading up to departure, Jetbay’s team coordinates all pre-flight logistics. This includes:

Ground transfers (chauffeured cars or limousines)
Catering preferences (from light meals to fine dining)
Special requests such as child seats, pets, or medical equipment
Flight routing and permits, if applicable for cross-border travel

Every detail is reviewed with precision, ensuring the experience meets both operational and personal expectations.

Step 5: Arrival and Boarding at the Private Terminal

On the day of departure, arrive at the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) — the private terminal — just 20 to 30 minutes before your scheduled flight.

You’ll bypass traditional airport queues and security lines entirely. Your passport and luggage are handled discreetly by Jetbay’s ground staff. Within minutes, you’ll be escorted directly to your aircraft, where the crew will greet you by name. Inside, you’ll find a prepared cabin with your requested catering, preferred seating arrangement, and personal items (if any) ready for takeoff.

Step 6: Enjoy a Seamless Journey

Once airborne, sit back and enjoy the comfort and quiet of your private cabin. You can work, dine, or rest, uninterrupted. Crew members ensure your comfort throughout the flight, offering refreshments, Wi-Fi access, and personalised service. For business travellers, the cabin becomes a mobile office. For leisure travellers, it’s a sanctuary. Upon arrival, disembark directly onto the tarmac, where your car or onward connection awaits. No terminals, no queues, no delays.

Step 7: Post-Flight Support and Feedback

Even after touchdown, Jetbay’s service doesn’t end.

You’ll receive a post-flight summary, detailing flight time, performance, and any pending requests for future trips.

For frequent flyers, Jetbay can store preferences (i.e., favourite meals, seating layouts, or pet requirements) ensuring that every future flight feels instantly familiar. You can also earn loyalty credits through Jetbay’s loyalty program and Jet Card programs, allowing for additional perks on upcoming flights.

Transparency and Trust at Every Step

Additionally, all aircraft are vetted for safety and compliance under Transport Canada and international aviation authorities, ensuring every flight meets the highest operational standards.
