Clear answers before you commit.
Does an aircraft registration prove charter authorization?
Registration identifies the aircraft. Ask separately whether the operator is authorized to use it for your charter.
What should I ask about the crew?
Ask about crew qualifications, recent training, and how a crew substitution would be handled and communicated.
How should I check an operator’s safety rating?
Ask which program issued it, what was assessed, whether it is current, and whether it applies to the proposed operator.
