What Global Charter does

Global Charter is a London-headquartered private aviation brokerage founded in 2019 that arranges private jet charter flights on behalf of clients without owning or operating aircraft. The company positions itself as an independent intermediary sourcing aircraft from a vetted global network of 15,000+ operators and brokers across five offices (London, Miami, Los Angeles, Toronto, Dubai), targeting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, corporate travel buyers, the oil and gas vertical, and medical/medevac use cases. Its product surface spans on-demand charter, two membership structures (the prepaid GC Flight Fund and the multi-year GC Jet Card), specialty charters (pet-friendly, last-minute, helicopter, group, cargo, industry-specific), and adjacent luxury services including yacht charter, global concierge, aircraft sales, financing, and management.

The technology stack is described as a 'Smart Technology Platform' that accelerates broker workflows and includes an aircraft guide, comparator, and category browser for self-service discovery, plus a multi-step operator vetting system covering AOC validity, insurance limits, maintenance history, and crew records. Safety accreditations include Wyvern Registered Operator Network, IS-BAO (IBAC), ARGUS Certified, Air Charter Association membership, and NBAA membership. Cryptocurrency and card payment rails are supported, and a sustainability programme offers Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and carbon offset options.

Global Charter generates revenue on a transaction-fee basis, earning commissions or fees from aircraft operators on each booked charter, supplemented by recurring membership economics through the Jet Card multi-year contract. Distribution is direct-to-client through the website, 24/7 phone operations, and dedicated account managers in each regional office; there is no disclosed third-party reseller channel, no institutional funding, and no parent company. Leadership comprises Harry Morgan as CEO and founder and Daniel Hurley as founder. Revenue figures, headcount exact counts, and funding history are not publicly disclosed.
