Since 1996 the term "fractional jet" has been used in connection with private jet flight service. In the last 10 years capital risk and growing costly overheads associated with jet aircraft ownership lead to the development of USJ air charter flight service. USJ flight service allows clients to satisfy their travel requirements on a trip by trip basis, jet charter on demand, avoiding long term contracts and costly monthly fees for flight crews, hangar fees, landing and fuel surcharges along with monthly jet maintenance expenses. In addition fractional aircraft operate under Part 91 of the FAA safety regulations. Contrary to popular belief, air charter jets which operates under Part 135 FAA safety regulations carries higher safety requirements then fractionally or wholly owned aircraft air charter flight service aircraft requires higher level of fuel in the tanks for the same distance trip on the same aircraft which is owned. Chartered jets require longer runways for landings and departures, pilots are restricted to less flight time and weather conditions are not at the discretion of the owner of the jet, rather the governing FAA safety regulations. Clearly the higher jet safety requirements are place on air charter service.
