Using IONA JETS for your charter request in three simple steps.
From request submission to proposal selection and booking, the IONA JETS platform keeps the process simple, transparent and supported.
Submit your request
Share the route, dates, passenger or cargo details and material requirements once through the Platform. The request may be made available to participating Broker Partners with relevant market coverage and suitable sector experience.
Review any proposals
Any proposals received appear in the Client Portal with the information supplied by the responding broker. Participation, response times and the number or comparability of proposals are not guaranteed for that specific request.
Select and finalize
If you select a proposal, the selected broker identifies the contracting parties and coordinates the remaining confirmations with the proposed operator and relevant providers for the selected mission and documented service scope.
Try our cost estimator
Entirely optional, this quick estimator gives you an indicative range in seconds based on your route or estimated flight time, before you submit a request.
In accordance with our Terms of Service, the prices shown are indicative only, do not constitute a quote and must be confirmed by the broker partner.
Submit requests online at any time, with response times depending on the responsible party.
The Platform's digital request and messaging channels can be accessed at any time, subject to technical availability. This does not mean that human support or a Broker Partner response is continuously available. Participating brokers decide independently whether and when to respond. After proposal selection, the selected broker is the primary contact for the contract, payment, operator coordination and operational changes within its agreed scope.
From major airports to remote airfields around preferred schedules, subject to confirmation.
From cities worldwide to leading destinations including Geneva, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and Dubai, the broker network provides broad international charter coverage. Partners bring local knowledge, operator relationships and airport expertise, from slot coordination to ground handling. Whether your route uses a major hub or a remote airfield, IONA JETS connects you with brokers who understand the local operating environment.
Follow requests, messages and documents in one place through your Client Portal.
The Client Portal is designed to organize request status, broker messages, proposals and available documents in one account environment. Access and activity records support practical follow-up but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, absolute security, regulatory compliance or the completeness of information supplied by third parties. Review each proposal and the applicable contractual documents before making a booking decision.
A curated network of vetted air charter brokers across key aviation markets.
IONA JETS maintains a curated network of established air charter brokers. Admission applies to the broker and may consider identity, insurance, regulatory standing, market coverage and operator-screening processes. It does not certify every operator, aircraft or downstream provider a broker may propose. For each request, the responding broker is responsible for its assessment and the selected broker for mission checks within the agreed scope.
One request across our broker network, instead of contacting multiple providers and chasing quotes yourself.

How the IONA JETS platform works for private aviation, group charter and air cargo.
IONA JETS is a Swiss digital referral platform. A single request containing your route, dates and requirements is shared with participating vetted broker partners across private aviation, group charter and air cargo. Any proposals received appear in your Client Portal, where you can compare options side by side, message brokers directly and select the proposal that best fits your needs. Your contact details remain confidential until you select a proposal or otherwise choose to share them. IONA JETS charges no platform fee for the standard referral service. Registration is free, and submitting a request does not commit you to booking.
- Private aviation: Business jets for corporate travel, leisure flights, medical transport, helicopter transfers, air taxis and potential empty leg opportunities, subject to aircraft, operator, route and service availability. Participating brokers may source suitable aircraft and operator options across different categories. Depending on the request, proposals may also outline alternative airports, cabin capacity, baggage limitations and optional ground connections for comparison. After you select a proposal, the selected broker confirms availability, operational details and final suitability with the proposed operator.
- Group and airline charter: Group flights for corporate events, MICE programs, sports teams, diplomatic missions, music tours and airline sub-charter, generally for groups of 20 passengers or more. Subject to availability and confirmation, the selected broker may coordinate passenger manifests, dedicated check-in, priority processing, cabin personalization, catering and ground logistics with operators and local providers. Aircraft type, capacity and airport arrangements depend on the mission, operator confirmation and applicable approvals.
- Air cargo: General freight, urgent AOG shipments, pharmaceutical products, dangerous goods, perishables, heavy or outsize cargo, humanitarian aid and live animals, subject to cargo acceptance and applicable operational and regulatory requirements. Subject to the agreed scope, the selected broker may coordinate ground handling, customs support, regulatory requirements and shipment monitoring through the operator and contracted providers. Each provider remains responsible for the services it performs, while cargo acceptance, loading and flight operations remain with the operator and responsible handling parties.
IONA JETS Business
One workspace for teams that source charters on behalf of others.
A workspace intended for professional teams arranging charter requests on behalf of an organization or its clients. Current access, functions, pricing and contractual terms must be reviewed on the Business page before subscription.
A Swiss platform built on transparency, broker expertise and operational rigor.
The air charter market is complex and fragmented. Finding the right broker, understanding pricing and comparing options requires industry knowledge that most clients do not have. IONA JETS was created to simplify that process. Founded in Geneva by an aviation professional, the platform works with an established international network of brokerage firms. IONA JETS reviews and verifies broker partners before they join the network. Participating brokers may prepare proposals. After selection, the selected broker coordinates the confirmed arrangements with the proposed operator and relevant providers.
- Confidential until you decide: The Platform is designed to limit disclosure of identity and contact information to Broker Partners until the user selects a proposal or chooses to share those details. Processing may still involve IONA JETS, its contracted infrastructure or support providers and other recipients described in the Privacy Policy. Access controls reduce risk but do not guarantee secrecy or prevent every unauthorized access, disclosure or human error. Users should review access permissions and avoid submitting information that is not necessary for the request or account administration.
- No platform fees for clients: IONA JETS does not charge clients a platform fee for submitting a request, reviewing proposals, comparing brokers or selecting an offer through the standard referral service. The platform is remunerated by broker partners when a referred request results in a confirmed booking. Your financial and contractual relationship is established with the party or parties identified in the booking documentation, which may include the selected broker and/or the aircraft operator. The separate IONA JETS Business subscription remains subject to its own pricing and subscription terms.
- Safety and compliance: IONA JETS reviews and verifies Broker Partners before they join the network. The selected broker sources and conducts due diligence on the proposed operator for each mission. Reviews may cover the operating certificate or equivalent authorization, insurance, crew qualifications, maintenance information, approvals and mission requirements. Programs such as IS-BAO, Wyvern Wingman and ARGUS may provide additional information on business aviation operators, while IOSA may be relevant to airlines. No audit program applies automatically to every mission. Our dedicated page explains the framework.
Frequently asked questions about the IONA JETS platform
New to IONA JETS or considering the platform for an upcoming request? The answers below explain how the platform works, what you can request and how participating broker partners may prepare proposals. After selection, the selected broker coordinates the agreed arrangements, subject to availability and confirmation.
Private jet charter pricing depends primarily on five variables: aircraft category, route distance, passenger count, positioning sectors and seasonal demand. A light jet on a short European route may cost a few thousand euros, while an ultra-long-range aircraft on an intercontinental route may reach a six-figure amount. Through IONA JETS, any proposals received can be compared using the available pricing information in your Client Portal. IONA JETS charges no client platform fee for the standard referral service. For a detailed breakdown by aircraft type, see our private jet cost guide.
The platform covers three segments: private aviation, including business jets, leisure flights, medical evacuations, helicopters, air taxis and empty leg opportunities; group and airline charter, including ACMI sub-charter, MICE and corporate events, sports teams, diplomatic missions and music tours; and air cargo, including standard freight, urgent AOG shipments, pharmaceutical cold chain, dangerous goods, heavy lift and humanitarian aid. Submit requests across all three segments from one account and manage them through your Client Portal. Each segment has a dedicated page covering aircraft types, use cases and booking options.
Neither. IONA JETS is a Swiss digital referral platform. We do not operate aircraft, hold an Air Operator Certificate or negotiate flight contracts. After submission, participating vetted Broker Partners may source aircraft and prepare proposals. Their participation and the receipt, number, timing, content and terms of proposals are not guaranteed. After selection, the selected broker contacts you to finalize the contract, payment and arrangements. The contracting party is identified in the booking documentation. This model provides access to proposals from participating brokers with process visibility. Read more about how the platform was built and how the broker network is structured on our dedicated pages.
Response times vary and are not guaranteed. They depend on broker participation, route complexity, aircraft or capacity requirements, passenger or cargo specifications, operator availability and any special logistics, permits or approvals involved. Straightforward requests may receive an initial proposal sooner than complex cargo operations, multi-leg group itineraries or short-notice missions. Participating brokers must confirm the relevant operator, aircraft, pricing and operational conditions before a proposal can be finalized.
IONA JETS acts solely as a Swiss digital referral platform connecting clients with independent air charter brokers across private aviation, group and airline charter, and air cargo. IONA JETS is not an air charter broker, air carrier, airline, aircraft operator, freight forwarder, customs broker or ground-handling provider, does not hold an Air Operator Certificate and does not operate flights, transport cargo, perform handling or provide customs clearance. IONA JETS reviews and verifies broker partners before they join its network, but does not directly source, select or verify individual aircraft operators or downstream providers. The selected broker remains responsible for sourcing the proposed operator, conducting the relevant operator due diligence and coordinating the services included within the agreed scope. The descriptions on this website are general and do not guarantee that any aircraft, capacity, proposal, route, schedule, service, configuration, airport facility, authorization or other feature will be available for a specific request. All services remain subject to broker participation, operator and provider availability, operational feasibility, passenger or cargo acceptance where applicable, airport constraints, permits, applicable regulations and confirmation during the booking process. Transport-related obligations and liabilities rest with the contractual party or parties identified in the booking documentation, which may include the selected broker, aircraft operator or another identified provider. IONA JETS is not a party to the flight or transport contract unless expressly stated otherwise in writing. The IONA JETS Business subscription provides team-management, billing-consolidation and workspace tools. It does not alter the contractual relationship for any individual flight. IONA JETS Business is intended exclusively for professional and business users and is not intended for consumers acting outside a commercial, industrial, craft or professional activity. Payment processing for the IONA JETS Business subscription is provided by Stripe Payments Europe Ltd under its own terms and privacy policy. IONA JETS does not store complete payment-card details on its own infrastructure. (1) IONA JETS is remunerated by broker partners through a commission when a referred client request results in a confirmed booking. Clients using the standard referral service pay no platform fee directly to IONA JETS for submitting a request, reviewing proposals or selecting an offer. IONA JETS Business subscription fees are separate. Broker partners retain full pricing autonomy and independently set the price proposed for each flight request. IONA JETS does not set, control or guarantee the final price quoted by a broker. (2) Until you select a proposal or otherwise explicitly choose to share your details, flight requests are processed without disclosing your identity or contact information to broker partners. Once you take that action, your details are shared only with the relevant selected broker or recipient. The processing of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy. (3) Cashback is available through the IONA JETS Loyalty Program only on eligible bookings and remains subject to the program terms, eligibility criteria, exclusions and payment conditions. Full details are available on the Loyalty Program page. *Cashback is available only on eligible bookings; see note (3). **Empty leg availability depends on aircraft positioning, route, date, remaining capacity and operator confirmation. Availability is not guaranteed and may change or be withdrawn at any time.
