COMMERCIAL · GLOSSARY
Charter Broker
An intermediary that sources aircraft from certified operators on behalf of a client — never owning or operating the aircraft itself.
IN PRACTICE
US charter brokers are regulated by 14 CFR Part 295, which sets transparency and disclosure rules including the right of any customer to request a copy of the operator's certificate. Brokers add value through operator selection, contract management, in-flight support and 24/7 service recovery.
Limitless Sky operates as an independent broker — we do not own aircraft, so every recommendation is based on the mission, not on fleet utilisation pressure.
