Charter a private plane for a group: how it works

2026-06-04 · 4 min read

Families, weddings and corporate teams are where the whole-aircraft model really shines. Instead of buying scattered seats or splitting into a convoy of cars, you charter one plane and travel together, on your schedule. Here is how group charter works and why it is so cost-effective.

One aircraft, one schedule

Charter the whole plane — up to twelve passengers — and your group departs together from a private terminal at a time that suits you. No splitting into vans, no waiting on stragglers, no lost hours on winding roads. Everyone arrives together, fresh.

It is cost-effective for groups

Because you split a single aircraft price, the cost per person falls with every seat you fill — often comparable to scheduled fares once you count the time and overnight stays saved. The full pricing logic is in how much charter costs.

Popular group destinations

• Tamarindo and Liberia for Guanacaste weddings and beach trips.
• Quepos for Manuel Antonio family getaways.
• Drake Bay and Puerto Jiménez for adventure groups.
• Nosara for yoga and wellness retreats.
