Want to Charter
an Aircraft?

Booking begins with a direct conversation with an ACASS charter specialist—by phone at +1 514 636 1099, by email at charter@acass.com, or through the inquiry form on this page. Your specialist will confirm your departure city, destination, travel dates, number of passengers, and any specific requirements such as catering, ground transportation, or pet arrangements.

Based on these details, ACASS will recommend suitable aircraft and manage all logistics, including permits, crew briefings, fixed-base operator (FBO) coordination, and customs clearance for international segments. Dedicated account options are available for clients who travel frequently and prefer consistent, personalized support.

Aircraft selection from Halifax depends on your destination, passenger count, and range requirements. For regional routes — Halifax to Montréal or Halifax to Toronto — light jets and midsize jets are typically well-matched in terms of range and cabin capacity. For cross-country routings to Calgary or Vancouver, or for transatlantic departures, super-midsize and heavy jets provide the non-stop range required.

ACASS’s dedicated account manager guides each charter client through aircraft selection based on specific itinerary requirements — route distance, passenger count, and cabin configuration are all assessed — so no self-selection is needed. Connect with a Specialist to review available charter aircraft for your routing.

Halifax Stanfield International Airport (IATA: YHZ, ICAO: CYHZ) is Atlantic Canada’s primary airport for business aviation and private jet charter. The airport’s longest runway extends to 10,500 feet, accommodating the full range of business jet categories — from light jets to ultra-long-range heavy jets.

Private jet charter clients access YHZ through dedicated FBO facilities separate from the commercial terminal, with direct ramp access and private lounge amenities. Ground handling, catering arrangements, and pre-departure requirements are confirmed in advance to ensure a seamless departure experience for all arriving passengers. ACASS manages all FBO coordination as part of the charter booking process.

A heavy jet charter is a charter flight on a large-cabin business jet — typically accommodating 12 to 18 passengers — operated on a per-trip or account basis without the ownership responsibilities of a managed aircraft. Heavy jets offer ranges of approximately 4,500 to over 7,500 nautical miles, full stand-up cabins with multiple functional zones, and among the highest levels of in-flight amenity available in the charter market.

ACASS operates heavy jet charter flights as a direct AOC-certified operator — not a broker — under its Air Operator Certificates for Canada, Ireland, and San Marino. Browse the available heavy jets above or Connect with a Specialist to arrange a flight.

Heavy jets are designed for intercontinental and long-haul travel where non-stop range, larger group capacity, and full cabin functionality are essential. Typical missions include transatlantic routes (such as New York–London), transcontinental flights, and international travel between major hubs across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Ultra-long-range models can operate non-stop on routes exceeding 7,000 nautical miles and support extended onboard productivity with dedicated areas for rest, dining, and meetings. Operational factors—such as winds, payload, and runway performance—may also influence aircraft selection. For 3,000–4,500 nm routes with smaller groups, a super-midsize jet may be a suitable alternative.

A private jet charter from Toronto typically departs from Toronto Pearson (YYZ), the primary business aviation gateway for the region, which supports every aircraft category including ultra-long-range jets on transatlantic and transpacific routes. Billy Bishop (YTZ) has runway and infrastructure constraints that restrict most jet charter operations, with eligibility subject to specific aircraft type and weight approvals. Hamilton (YHM) and Waterloo (YKF) serve as regional alternatives for qualifying aircraft. Connect with a Specialist to match your flight to the right Toronto-area departure airport.

Lead times for a private jet charter from Toronto are flexible. On-demand charter flights from Toronto can typically be arranged within a few days, with same-day and next-day bookings possible subject to aircraft availability. Peak travel periods, including summer season, the Toronto International Film Festival, and major corporate event weeks, benefit from earlier booking to secure preferred aircraft and routing. Connect with a Specialist to confirm availability and explore aircraft options for your dates.

Across the private jet charter Canada inventory, ACASS makes certain empty leg opportunities available to clients whose travel timing and routing align. An empty leg is a repositioning flight, meaning an aircraft traveling to its next pickup location or returning to base without revenue passengers. These flights suit travelers with scheduling flexibility, since the aircraft’s operational program determines departure times and routes rather than the client’s preferred itinerary. Connect with a Specialist to explore empty leg availability on Canadian routes.

The private jet charter Canada process starts when you contact an ACASS account manager by email or phone with your routing, travel dates, passenger count, and any specific requirements. ACASS confirms aircraft availability and suitability across its fleet, then presents a tailored proposal. Once confirmed, the operations team handles all pre-flight logistics, including permits, ground handling, catering, and crew briefing. On departure day, passengers arrive directly at the FBO and board the aircraft. Connect With a Specialist to begin the charter process.
