Does WAYPOINT own or operate aircraft?+
No. Flights are performed by appropriately certified third-party air charter operators. WAYPOINT coordinates the brief, the match and the confirmation, and remains the single point of contact. We do not own or operate aircraft.
How does air charter actually work?+
Brief · Match · Confirm. We read the route, passengers, baggage, timing, airports and operating requirements first. Then we identify a suitable aircraft class and reviewed operators able to perform the flight as briefed. Aircraft, operator, schedule, terms and price are set out in writing before anything is committed.
Can you arrange the aircraft and the house as one journey?+
Yes. Where the flight is one part of a larger plan, the same contact coordinates it alongside SEA, STAY and EXPERIENCE. Hamilton Island and the Whitsundays is the worked example: a private aircraft from Sydney, a private residence, a yacht day and the island days between, held as one brief.
Can you fly privately to Hamilton Island?+
Hamilton Island has its own runway. Where the aircraft, conditions and operator approvals allow it, you land on the island. Where they do not, the arrival is planned through a mainland airport with the onward connection built in and confirmed before you leave. The aircraft is matched to the party, the luggage and the day — not chosen from a fleet we hold.
Which aircraft do you fly?+
We do not hold a fleet. This page describes five fixed-wing classes and three helicopter formats by what they are genuinely good at. The aircraft that flies is the one that fits the route, runway, load and timing, sourced through a certified operator for that specific flight.
How should an executive assistant brief a flight?+
Send the route, passenger count, baggage (including golf, ski or dive kit), preferred timing, and whether the flight sits inside a wider stay. If you already hold dates for a house or a vessel, include them. We come back with the sensible options, including the ones that are not a charter.
What does it cost?+
There is no public rate card. Price belongs to the specific aircraft, operator, route, timing and positioning. WAYPOINT’s commission is agreed for each confirmed booking and made clear in the proposal. We will not publish indicative hourly figures.
Do you arrange international flights?+
Yes, where the route, aircraft class and operator make it operationally appropriate. Trans-Tasman, the near Pacific and longer international sectors sit under AIR, with more on International Air.
