Continuum Aviation is proud to be among the top aircraft charter services in India, delivering Air Charter Service India can rely on for safety, luxury, and flexibility. Utilizing a modern fleet, we provide charter aircraft services in India that cover everything from corporate travel between major cities to connecting remote regions not well served by commercial airlines. India’s charter aviation sector is booming – between April 2024 and February 2025 alone, India saw approximately 253,000 charter flight movements, a ~19.7% year-on-year increase. This surge underscores how businesses and individuals are increasingly turning to private charters for time-efficient travel. With Continuum’s services, clients can book charter flights within India or internationally, enjoying personalized itineraries and world-class service.
We cater to a wide variety of needs, ensuring that whatever your mission, we have a solution. Continuum’s offerings include:
Each charter flight in India is supported by our expert operations team. We handle ground support, permits from Indian authorities, and coordination with airport officials. With regional offices and partners across the country, Continuum Aviation ensures seamless service at major airports and smaller airstrips alike.
India’s vast geography and diverse regional airports make private charter an attractive option to save time. Instead of relying on airline schedules (which might not offer nonstop flights to tier-2 or tier-3 cities), you can set your own route. Chartering also offers privacy and comfort during long inter-city trips – a big plus for high-profile travelers and executives. Our commitment to being a top aircraft charter service in India means we prioritize safety, on-time performance, and 24/7 customer support. From the moment you inquire, our team will guide you through aircraft selection, whether you need a turboprop for a short hop to a remote area or a large jet for a transcontinental journey. Reliability is a cornerstone of our service – we know that in business, every minute counts, and our charters aim to eliminate the delays and uncertainty often faced in commercial travel.
Continuum Aviation adheres strictly to India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security guidelines for non-scheduled flights. Our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, and our pilots are highly experienced in both domestic and international operations. We also ensure all necessary flight permits and clearances (domestic or international) are obtained swiftly. Clients can have peace of mind knowing that aviation security in India is taken seriously – we coordinate with airport security in India to expedite any required checks, and our staff are trained in local protocols. Your journey remains secure yet hassle-free, as we balance stringent safety measures with smooth service.
You can request a charter by contacting Continuum Aviation or a similar charter provider with details of your trip (cities, dates, passenger count). The provider will present available aircraft options and pricing. Once you select an option, they handle flight plans, permits, and ground arrangements. Booking can often be done via a dedicated account manager, phone, or an online request form.
With a private charter, you can fly to any city in India that has an airport or airstrip, not just the major metros. This includes smaller regional airports and even remote locations. For example, you could fly directly from a city like Jaipur to a remote area in Northeast India without connecting flights. Continuum Aviation’s services span the entire Indian subcontinent, so flexibility of destination is a key benefit.
Yes, charter flights are strictly regulated by Indian aviation authorities. Charter operators must have non-scheduled operator permits and follow DGCA regulations. Planes undergo regular maintenance and safety checks. Pilots and crew are certified professionals. If you choose a reputable charter service (like Continuum Aviation), you can be confident that all safety protocols are being followed.
The cost depends on multiple factors: the type of aircraft (light jet vs. mid-size vs. large jet), the distance and flight time, whether it’s a one-way or round trip, and any special services requested. As an example, a short hop on a turboprop might be significantly less costly than a long-range jet to Europe. Generally, pricing is given in hourly rates for the aircraft. Contact the charter company with your trip details for an accurate quote.
Absolutely. Same-day return charters (e.g., Mumbai to Delhi and back in one day) are common for business travelers. The aircraft waits for you at the destination (or departs and comes back to pick you up at a set time). This allows you to conduct your business and return home without the need for overnight stays. Charter providers are very flexible with such itineraries.
Yes, most charter services will arrange in-flight catering to your preferences, especially for private jets. You can request specific cuisines or dietary requirements. Beyond food, you can also request other amenities – for instance, a business traveler might ask for Wi-Fi on board, or a family might request a certain entertainment setup for children. Continuum Aviation and similar providers strive to meet these personalized needs.
When flying private in India, you typically use a separate General Aviation terminal or VIP terminal. The check-in is swift – usually just an identity verification and a quick security screening. There’s no queue as with commercial flights. For domestic charters, it’s very fast; for international charters, you will clear customs/immigration in a private lounge setting. Overall, the process is quick and discreet, usually handled by the charter operator’s ground staff guiding you through.
Yes, charter flights can depart from India to international destinations (and arrive from abroad into India). Continuum Aviation regularly handles international charters – for example, flying clients from India to Europe, the Middle East, or neighboring countries like Sri Lanka and the Maldives. The charter company will obtain overflight and landing permits for the countries en route and ensure all immigration paperwork is in order. International charters offer the benefit of nonstop routes (e.g., flying directly from Delhi to a smaller city in another country).
India’s major cities have separate facilities or sections for private jets. For example, Mumbai and Delhi have General Aviation terminals. Additionally, certain airports like Delhi’s Safdarjung or Mumbai’s Juhu aerodrome handle mostly non-commercial traffic. While no airport is exclusively for private jets, charter flights often use smaller airports or secondary airports to avoid congestion, provided those airports are equipped for the aircraft in question.
The range is broad. You can charter small single-engine turboprops (useful for short hops to airstrips with short runways), light jets (5-7 seats, good for regional flights), mid-size jets (8-9 seats, can fly e.g. Delhi to Bangkok nonstop), or large cabin jets (10-14 seats, capable of long-haul flights like India to Europe nonstop). There are also larger VIP airliners for big groups. The choice will depend on your group size and destination. Charter providers in India have access to diverse fleets to meet these needs.
Air ambulance charters are specialized flights equipped with medical gear and often a medical team on board (doctors or paramedics). If someone needs emergency transport – say from a small town to a major city hospital – a charter company can outfit an aircraft as an air ambulance. Continuum Aviation coordinates such services, arranging for ground ambulances at both ends and ensuring the aircraft is ready for the patient. These flights prioritize speed and patient safety, often flying into smaller airports closest to medical facilities.
Many charter aircraft, especially mid-size and large jets, offer in-flight Wi-Fi and satellite phone communications. However, availability can depend on the specific plane. When booking, you can request an aircraft that has Wi-Fi if you need to work or stay connected during flight. The charter operator will make sure to provide an aircraft that meets your connectivity needs.
This refers to the leading providers of charter flight services in the country. Companies that are considered “top” usually have a proven track record of safety, reliability, a wide network, and positive client feedback. They often offer comprehensive services (ground handling, permits, concierge, etc.). Continuum Aviation aims to be one such top service provider, offering end-to-end solutions for any charter requirement in India.
Generally, no – the charter company takes care of all necessary paperwork. For domestic flights within India, your ID is sufficient for passenger manifest purposes. For international flights, you’ll need your passport and any visas required, but the operator will handle flight permits, customs clearances, and so on. They will guide you if any specific document is needed from your end. The goal is to make the process turnkey for the client.
During festival seasons, holiday periods, or big events (like elections, large weddings, sports events), demand for charters can spike in India. It’s wise to book as early as possible – maybe 3-4 weeks in advance if you can – to secure an aircraft. However, even if you have short notice, always check with the charter provider; they will do their best to accommodate your request through their network if at all possible.
Specialising in both international and domestic aircrafts, we seamlessly manage arrivals, departures, and all aspects of ground support.
