Got a short range business trip to make and don't want to put up with the hassles and restrictions of commercial airliners? Consider chartering a turboprop from Air Charter Team! Turboprops offer a lower priced alternative to jets for shorter charter flights. While smaller than their larger jet brethren, turboprop aircraft have fully pressurized cabins, ensuring the maximum in comfort and safety. One of the most attractive aspects of turboprops is their ability to operate from shorter runways, allowing them to be used for chartered flights into more airports and specifically those in smaller towns. Air Charter Team can provide you with private turboprop charters to destinations the commercial airlines won't touch!
The most distinguishing feature of a turboprop airplane is its propeller(s). A jet engine is the source of its power, but unlike conventional jet aircraft that use pure engine thrust to move, a turboprop uses the engine's power to drive its propellers, which provide the thrust. Turboprops are highly reliable and efficient aircraft, making them ideal for short-range executive charters where versatility is key.
