Private jet charter across the Caribbean, the United States, and Latin America, flown on our own aircraft by our own crews. Same-day to New York, a long weekend through the Caribbean, a working trip into Central America. Quotes back fast and a single team from the first call to the final leg.
Charter solves the trips that scheduled service cannot. A same-day return from Nassau to Miami for a meeting that ran long. A full family on one aircraft, on your timing, with the dog in the cabin. A board offsite where the team arrives together and leaves together. A weekend out of the country with the bags you actually want to bring.
We have flown those trips for years. The work that goes into a charter before the airplane moves is most of the job, and we treat it that way: routing, weather, alternates, fuel, slots, handling, all closed out before the trip is released.
Most of what makes a private flight good is invisible to the passenger. Here is what we hold ourselves to.
ARGUS and Wyvern rated, both current. Operating under a Bahamian Air Operator Certificate and CAA-B CAR OPS 1. The credentials that brokers and corporate flight departments check before placing a trip, on file and current.
Departures from Jet Nassau and arrivals at the FBO on the other end. No commercial terminal, no public concourse, no line at security. The car meets the airplane, your bags go straight on board, and you are wheels-up shortly after you sit down.
Refreshment centre stocked to your trip. Pets welcome in the cabin. Connectivity for the leg you cannot afford to be off the grid. The details that matter once the door is closed.
A midsize business jet built for nonstop legs across the Caribbean, Florida, and the U.S. East Coast, with one-stop range much further. A stand-up cabin with Gogo AVANCE L3 connectivity. The right airplane for almost every trip we fly.
Refurbished in 2025.
A regional jet sized for the group trips a midsize cabin cannot carry. Nineteen passengers in a semi-private layout, with the legroom and cabin space of a private aircraft and the range to put a wedding party, a corporate offsite, or a golf group on one airplane. Gogo AVANCE L5 connectivity throughout.
Coming soon.
While our operation is based in The Bahamas, a significant portion of our work takes place between countries throughout the Americas. Executive movement, leisure itineraries, repositioning, and broker-supported charter, coordinated across multiple jurisdictions.
The questions that come up on the first call, answered the way we would answer them on the phone. If yours isn't here, ask.
Charter is priced per trip, not per seat. The biggest driver is aircraft time: how long the airplane flies, including any positioning legs to get it where your trip starts. On top of that sit handling and FBO fees at each airport, international permits where the route needs them, catering, and crew expenses on overnights. Peak dates like holidays and big events tighten availability across the market and pricing follows.
We quote the whole trip as one number, so you can compare it as one.
Route, dates, and passenger count are enough to start. Send them by email to sales@tia.aero or by phone. We come back with an aircraft, a schedule, and a number. Most quotes come back within the hour.
More notice means more options, but charter exists for short notice. Same-day to South Florida is often possible when the airplane is available. Routes that need permits, Cuba being the obvious one, take longer, because the paperwork has a clock of its own.
If the trip is tight, call rather than email.
Yes. The Learjet 60 is pet-friendly, and pets ride in the cabin, not in a hold. Tell us the animal and the route when you request the quote so we can flag anything the destination requires before the trip, not at the ramp.
The Learjet 60 carries 102 cubic feet of baggage: golf bags, dive gear, the luggage a family actually travels with. If you are planning something oversized or simply a lot of it, mention it with the quote request and we will confirm it fits before the day of the flight.
Eight on the Learjet 60. For larger groups, our 19-passenger Embraer ERJ-135LR is coming soon, and in the meantime we coordinate larger aircraft through our broker network with TIA managing the trip end-to-end.
Shorter than you are used to. Departing Nassau, Bahamian customs and immigration are handled at the airport before you board. Arriving in the United States, CBP clearance happens right at the FBO. You step off the airplane, clear, and get in the car. Returning to Nassau, customs and immigration are processed on arrival, typically a ten-minute step.
Yes. A meaningful share of our flying is broker-placed. Our Learjet 60 is operator-owned, so there is no owner approval to chase and no second call to walk a quote back. When we confirm the trip, the trip is confirmed. ARGUS and Wyvern rated, both current, with documentation on file and available on request.
We fly it anyway, just not on our own metal. When a trip needs more range, more seats, or a different cabin than our fleet offers, we source the aircraft through our broker network and stay on the file end-to-end. One point of contact, one standard, whoever's aircraft is flying.
Yes. The Learjet 60 carries Gogo AVANCE L3 connectivity, so the leg you cannot afford to be off the grid doesn't have to be one.
Brokers place trips with us because the quote comes back quickly, the airplane is clean and well-presented, and the crew is professional on every leg. Our Learjet 60 is operator-owned, which means there is no owner approval to chase and no second call to walk a quote back. When we confirm the trip, the trip is confirmed.
We carry regional approvals throughout the Caribbean, the United States, and Latin America, which keeps permits moving on the routes where ad-hoc clearances often slow operators down. ARGUS and Wyvern rated, both current, with documentation on file and available on request.
Most quotes come back within the hour. Send us the route, the dates, and the passenger count. Direct clients and brokers, both.
