Q. Why Air Charter?

A. Many individuals and businesses find charter flights to be much more convenient, efficient, and hassle-free when compared to using the airlines. For example, instead of showing up at the airport as much as 2 hours before your scheduled departure time, you can walk into the airport 15 minutes (or less) before your flight is scheduled to leave! Fly directly to the airport closest to your destination (you won't be restricted to airports served by the airlines; over 12,000 are available), and you decide when the return flight is scheduled! Overall, Air Charter flying provides the customer with a much greater sense of control and freedom when designing travel plans.

Q. Isn't Charter flying expensive?

A. That depends. A number of factors will go into deciding whether Charter flying is right for you or your business, and costs can never be ignored. If time is of the essence for your project, meeting, or acquisition, a charter flight might fit the bill perfectly. The greater flexibility and scheduling availability (24 hours!) can make the difference between a deal made and an opportunity lost. Do you want to be standing in line at the airport with your shoes off while your competition is passing you up? Additionally, economies of scale can be realized using our 6-passsenger Piper Navajo that can make charter flights very attractive when compared to airline flying. Let's consider a typical flight from Waukesha, Wisconsin to Minneapolis, Minnesota for 6 employees to attend an important meeting. Let's say the cost of each roundtrip, business-class ticket is set conservatively at $350, and there are no available return flights for the same day. That's $2,100. Now let's add the cost of 2 rental cars, let's say $75 per car, for an additional $150. How about 6 hotel rooms ($555), meal costs ($300), lost employee productivity and car-park fees at the nearest departure airport served by the airlines ($60)? The grand total comes to $3165.00, with potentially two productive days lost in airline terminals, baggage claims, and security lines.

The same trip using our Charter service would cost approximately $2694.15, and would enable all the passengers to depart directly from Waukesha, fly into a more conveniently located General Aviation airport, attend the meeting and be home by dinner time. Charter flying may not make sense for every mission, and only you can make that decision. The bottom line is: How much is your time worth? If you can't afford to lose precious time, and it's important for you to make your own schedule, Charter flying could be just what you or your business needs.

If you decide that Charter flying is for you, Spring City Aviation would value the opportunity to demonstrate our first-class service.  

Q. Aren't the pilots of these "small" airplanes less experienced than airline pilots? 

A. Spring City Aviation Charter flights are captained by company owner Brian Behrens, an Airline Transport Pilot with 10,000 hours of flight experience in many different types of aircraft. Brian was formerly a pilot for Midwest Airlines in the McDonnell Douglas DC-9/MD-80. In short, you're in good hands when you fly with Spring City Aviation. 

Q. If I fly Charter, am I restricted to smaller airports? 

A. That's the beauty of flying Charter; there are no restrictions! While you'll have the ability to fly into smaller, conveniently located General Aviation airports, our Charter service can also take you into the large international airports served by the airlines (think O'Hare, JFK, MSP, etc.), at your convenience. Have Spring City bring you to O'Hare for your next International departure, and we'll have our aircraft waiting to take you back home when you return! 

Q. What if I want to use Charter for my family vacation or fun trip? 

A. We're ready to serve. Some people use our convenient service to fly to their lake cabin in Northern Wisconsin, or for a day trip to scenic Door County. For example, if you're heading to a Packers game this year, use our Charter service to beat the traffic into (and out of!) Green Bay; enjoy your favorite snacks and beverages on the flight, and we'll have a car waiting to bring you to the stadium. We're happy to work with your travel plans and goals to make sure your flight is just as you envision it.

Q. When are Charter flights available?

A. You can schedule a charter flight to meet your needs at any time. More notice will ensure that we can accomodate your request, but we are typically able to arrange your flight with as little as a few hours' notice, if needed. If you know when you'd like to fly ahead of time, we would appreciate at least 24 hours advance notification.
