Costs and Chartering

When ready to book, clients can contact the team directly for personalized support or use the digital platform to request a quote.

Jet Cards

Kolin describes a jet card as a way to pre-purchase flight hours, providing consistent aircraft standards and quality. Unlike on-demand charter, which is subject to dynamic market pricing—especially during peak travel periods like holidays—the Amalfi One Jet Card offers fixed-rate stability. If market rates are lower than the jet card rate, these cost savings are passed directly to the customer.

Smoking Policies

While smoking cigarettes is permitted on certain approved aircraft, it is not the standard. Clients should expect additional heavy cleaning fees, and availability is more limited than for non-smoking aircraft.

Aircraft Range

Private jets offer significant capabilities, with some ultra-long-range models capable of flying nearly 8,000 nautical miles, allowing for direct, non-stop flights between continents. Clients can use the range explorer tool on the company website to view the specific reach of various aircraft classes based on their travel needs.
