What is Linear Air?
We’re the leading air taxi charter company in the United States—and our mission is to democratize personal air travel. Traditional private jet travel is expensive. At Linear Air, we’ve found the perfect formula to turn it into an affordable productivity tool for people who value their time.
What makes Linear Air different from other charter operators?
We are the first and only air taxi charter operator to develop a standardized, affordable private air travel solution for business and leisure travel. Just like your favorite hotel chain, rental car service and restaurant chain, you will look to us whenever traveling regionally.
What services do you offer?
We offer "whole aircraft charter." Think of us like a car service with wings. If you let us know when and where you need to go, we’ll take care of the rest. In season we also offer limited scheduled service with single seat booking to Nantucket from White Plains, NY and Bedford, MA.
How do I book a charter with Linear Air?
You can book a flight with Linear Air in one of three easy ways. Book anytime using our online booking tool that appears in the upper left hand corner of each webpage; contact our Customer Service Team by calling 877-2-LINEAR (877-254-6327); or send an email to customerservice@linearair.com.
What is the cost?
Aircraft charter is priced by the plane, not the seat, so the per person price drops as the number of passengers increases. Like a car service, you pay for each leg of the trip and pay a small fee for any ground wait time that may be needed. Our Eclipse E500 jets and Cessna Grand Caravans turboprops are among the most affordable aircraft available for charter. Go to Quick Quote for an immediate estimated price for any destination.

How fast is Linear Air?
It's fast. There’s no comparison when it comes to commercial airlines. You spend less time in ground transit, less time waiting, and often less time in the air. Most people see an average savings of 3.5 hours per trip.
What is the speed of the aircraft?
The Eclipse 500 has a cruising speed of over 350 mph; the Cessna Grand Caravan exceeds 180 mph.
How far can the planes fly?
The Eclipse 500 has a maximum range of 1,000 miles; the Cessna Grand Caravan has a maximum range of 600 miles. Both are perfect for regional air travel. Alternatively, if you don't mind a fuel stop along the way, our planes are often also ideal for longer trips.
How many seats are there?
The Eclipse 500 accommodates up to 3 adults. The Cessna Grand Caravan accommodates up to 8 passengers.
Is there a bathroom on the airplane?
The Cessna Grand Caravan has a toilet. The Eclipse does not have a toilet. As a regional travel service, our trips are short, so we don’t keep you in the air for very long.
How much luggage can I bring along?
Each plane can accommodate luggage and personal items. The Eclipse 500 has room for approximately 4-5 roll-aboards or 2-3 roll-aboards plus a large suitcase or 2 sets of regular golf clubs. The Cessna Grand Caravan has ample storage space with a maximum load capacity of 1,090 lbs., allowing for much more, on a per-passenger basis, than the airlines.
Do you allow pets?
Yes, pets are welcome on board. A carrier may be required depending on the type of aircraft.
Do you have two pilots on all your flights?
Yes. Each plane can easily be flown by one pilot, but we exceed safety standards with two pilots on board—a captain and first officer. All of our pilots participate in ongoing and rigorous training programs that far exceeds FAA standards.
How do you handle security?
We conform to the standards established by the FAA. However, unlike the airlines, you don't have to wait in long security lines and you are treated with dignity.
