Best private jet broker 2026

How we built this ranking

Choosing a private jet broker means choosing the intermediary who will negotiate, select the aircraft and secure your flight. Not all of them are equal. For this 2026 comparison, we used four criteria:

• Independence: access to all operators, with no bias towards any particular fleet.
• Transparency: clarity on price and margins, no hidden costs.
• Service: dedicated point of contact, responsiveness, 24/7 availability.
• Safety: audited operators (ARGUS, IS-BAO, WYVERN).

Full transparency: we are ourselves a broker, and this ranking reflects our point of view. We own that, while saluting the genuine quality of the other players cited, several of whom are excellent professionals.

1. Private Jets Connect, our #1 choice

As an independent broker, Private Jets Connect was built around a simple idea: putting the client’s interest back at the centre. We own no aircraft and are tied to no fleet. For every request, we survey the entire market, put operators in competition and select the aircraft best suited to your route, your dates and your budget.

Our difference comes down to four points. First, independence: no commercial bias towards any particular company. Next, transparency: a clear quote, with no hidden costs or concealed margin. Third, service: a dedicated point of contact accompanies you from the first exchange through to landing, available 24/7, including for last-minute requests. Finally, freedom: no subscription, no deposit to tie up, no imposed flight-hours volume. You book à la carte and only pay for the flights actually taken.

It’s this combination that places us at the top of our own selection. We fully own that, while acknowledging that the brokers that follow are very good professionals, each with their own strengths.

2. The Aviation Factory

Founded in 2000 in Antwerp by Carl Legein, The Aviation Factory has risen to become the Benelux leader and one of the most solid brokers in Europe. With around twenty brokers, more than 3,000 flights organised each year and offices in seven countries (Netherlands, France, Spain, Portugal, Czech Republic, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia), it is a house of great maturity.

Its strength lies in its versatility and expertise on complex missions: group charters (events, incentives, sport, up to several hundred passengers), cargo, medical flights and even the specific needs of the film industry. A pioneer, it was also the first major European broker to accept payment in cryptocurrency. We share with TAF the same European culture of business aviation and the same standard of bespoke service: at heart, there is little difference between our two approaches. A benchmark partner that we logically place in second position.

3. AeroAffaires

A historic French broker founded in 1991, AeroAffaires draws on more than thirty years of experience and a worldwide network of operators. Its reputation is excellent, notably thanks to praised customer service and a genuine knowledge of the market. The company covers all needs, from the one-off business flight to the organisation of complex journeys, with a strong Parisian anchor.

It is a safe pair of hands, particularly relevant for French-speaking clients looking for an established contact capable of handling both a standard European connection and a long-haul intercontinental flight.

4. IBC Aviation

IBC Aviation owes much to the experience of its founders, two business aviation veterans with over thirty years of senior management roles between them. This expertise shows in the level of exigence on safety: the company only charters audited operators (ARGUS, IS-BAO, WYVERN) and is a member of EBAA.

With six offices (Geneva, Paris, Nice, Luxembourg, Dubai, Bangkok) and value-added services (concierge, group charters via IBC Events, pet travel via IBC PETS), IBC is a comprehensive Franco-Swiss broker, ideal for those who place rigour and advice at the forefront.

5. LunaJets

A leading Swiss broker founded in 2007 in Geneva, LunaJets has established itself as a specialist in empty legs and a pioneer of the digital platform. Its figures speak for themselves: thousands of flights organised each year and excellent client reviews (a rating above 4.8/5 across thousands of reviews).

Its combination of a modern interface and human support makes it a very solid operator, particularly interesting for those who want to hunt for bargains on empty legs without compromising on quality of service.

6. Global Charter

Younger (founded in 2020 in London), Global Charter bets on a technology-driven approach to brokerage, equipping its brokers to gain in speed. With a London headquarters, a US headquarters in Miami and offices in Los Angeles, Toronto and Dubai, it is particularly relevant on the UK/US axis. A dynamic, fast-growing outfit that claims access to over 15,000 aircraft.

7. Mercury Jets

Mercury Jets, the charter division of Monarch Air Group, is an American broker certified ARGUS Certified Charter Broker, a guarantee of seriousness on safety and ethics. Based in Fort Lauderdale with a presence in New York, it positions itself on speed and covers both business aviation and medical evacuation. A solid choice for North American clients.

8. Evo Jets

Founded in 2006 in Aspen and now based in New York, Evo Jets stands out for its 100% proprietary technology: app, internal ERP and a cost calculator known for its accuracy. With nearly twenty years of experience, an A+ BBB rating and flights organised on six continents, it is a reliable broker, ideal for tech-savvy American travelers.

In summary

The private jet brokerage market is rich and of high quality: from the European expertise of The Aviation Factory or IBC to the technology of Global Charter or Evo Jets, each has its strengths. Our advice remains the same: prioritise an independent, transparent and responsive broker, capable of putting the entire market in competition on your behalf.

That is precisely the promise of Private Jets Connect. But whatever your final choice, always insist on these three fundamentals: they are what makes the difference between a good and an excellent flight.
