How does Executive Air Space arrange my flight?

Once you share your trip details, your advisor sources the aircraft and operator that best fit the mission from the vetted Stratos Jets network, and presents the strongest available options with full pricing before you book. Submit a request through the form on this site or contact your advisor directly by phone or email to get started — you'll typically hear back within a few hours.

Will I work with the same advisor every time?

The same advisor manages your trip from the first call through departure, with no hand-offs or rotating representatives.

How are aircraft and operators vetted?

Before any aircraft is presented, your advisor confirms the operator's ARGUS certification and Wyvern approval, plus the aircraft's current operational status and crew qualifications, through an in-house vendor approval program.

How is charter pricing determined?

Pricing depends on the aircraft category, trip distance, and the operator selected for that specific trip, and your advisor confirms the full cost in writing before you book.

How does on-demand charter compare with a jet card or fractional program?

Unlike a jet card or fractional share, there's no membership fee and no prepaid hour balance tying you to one program. Ask your advisor to walk through what a comparable trip would cost through your current jet card against an on-demand quote, so you can compare the real numbers.

Which Chicago airports can I use?

Your advisor will recommend the airport that best fits the trip. Chicago Executive (KPWK), O'Hare (KORD), and Midway (KMDW) are the most common departure points for local clients, but through the Stratos Jets network, charters can be arranged between most airports nationwide.

Can I travel with pets?

The agency confirms pet logistics with the specific operator before presenting that aircraft as an option.

The Executive Air Space Agency Difference

What Sets Executive Air Space Apart

Choosing a private jet charter company isn't only about price. It's about knowing who is accountable for your trip, how the aircraft is vetted, and what you'll pay before you commit.

One Advisor, Start to Finish

Each client works with the same advisor from first call through departure. Preferences, aircraft history and travel habits carry forward automatically, with no need to repeat them.

Standards You Can Verify

Every operator our agency arranges is ARGUS certified and Wyvern approved, carrying at minimum $50M in liability coverage on jet aircraft.

Straightforward Pricing

Clients receive a clear, itemized quote before booking, and FlightGuard™ protection is included on every charter should the operator or aircraft change.

Private Aviation Should Save More Than Flight Time

Choosing the right Chicago-area airport can save valuable ground time. Private flights out of Chicago Executive (KPWK), DuPage (DPA), Gary (GYY), and Waukegan (UGN) can provide convenient alternatives to O'Hare and Midway, depending on your route and schedule.

The Executive Air Space Agency is based in Chicago, but its reach is not limited to the region. Whether a trip begins locally or in another market, the agency coordinates the aircraft, operator, timing, and trip details through the Stratos Jets network. Chicago airport knowledge supports local departures, while the same dedicated advisor relationship can continue wherever the itinerary begins.

Why The Executive Air Space Agency

Documented Standards Behind Every Flight

Risk-Managed Private Aviation™ is the Stratos Jets framework used to evaluate each charter. Rather than relying on a general operator list, the process reviews the specific operator, aircraft, crew, insurance, and mission requirements connected to the trip.

Stratos Jets maintains ARGUS Certified Broker status and requires operators to meet published safety and insurance standards. The Executive Air Space Agency brings those standards into a local advisor relationship, combining one consistent point of contact with the support of a national aviation network.

ARGUS Certified Broker

Stratos Jets is an ARGUS-certified broker, independently audited against established safety and operational standards. Every flight coordinated through The Executive Air Space Agency is supported by that framework and arranged with vetted Part 135 operators.

Verified Flight Readiness

Before an option is presented, the aircraft, crew, operator, maintenance status, and mission requirements are reviewed to confirm that the flight is prepared to operate as planned.

Verified Availability

Before an itinerary is finalized, the assigned aircraft is confirmed as physically available and operationally ready, rather than simply appearing as available in a scheduling database.

FlightGuard™ Mechanical Recovery

If a booked aircraft cannot complete the mission, FlightGuard™ provides a defined financial benefit and supports the search for a recovery aircraft as close to the original schedule as possible. Every charter arranged through Executive Air Space Agency includes this protection.

Insurance Documentation

Every charter includes operator-issued insurance documentation with Stratos Jets and its passengers listed on the certificate. The assigned aircraft is verified under an active policy before departure. Most brokers assume it's covered. We confirm it.

$50M Supplemental Non-Owned Liability Policy

Most charter transactions rely solely on the air carrier’s insurance. Stratos adds a $50M supplemental non-owned liability policy to every flight we coordinate—providing an added layer of protection beyond standard charter arrangements.

Great experience

It was great from start to finish. Everyone was very professional and helpful. There were no worries at all. Just what we needed.

Easy peasy

We really appreciated how easy it was to find and book the flight we needed. The booking agent was knowledgeable and offered great insight about the route and available aircraft. There was a good amount of communication between myself and Stratos in the days and hours before the flight. I felt confident when I arrived at the departure location even though this was my first time flying charter from that airport and first time with Stratos brokered flight. The aircraft and crew were helpful and efficient. Friends have asked about my experience flying with this charter and I have recommended them to use Stratos
