PRIDEJET AIR CHARTER PVT LTD

Pridejet Air Charter Pvt Ltd is an Indian aviation consultancy with offices in Mumbai, near the old airport gate at Kalina in Santacruz East, and in Bangalore. It positions itself as a single point of contact for companies and individuals who need business aviation services.

Its work covers private aircraft charter, help with buying or selling new and pre-owned jets and helicopters, aircraft leasing and aircraft management. On the management side, the company says it can take care of maintenance planning, crew selection and training, administration and regulatory compliance for owners, and can arrange for an owner's aircraft to be chartered through an operator when it is not in use.

For charter, Pridejet arranges flights on aircraft operated by third parties. Its website stated that it intended to obtain its own Non-Scheduled Operator Permit (NSOP) in India, so it should not be treated as an operator in its own right unless that is confirmed. The aircraft types it lists range from turboprops such as the King Air B200, King Air C90GT, Pilatus PC-12 and Piaggio Avanti II, through light and midsize jets including the Citation CJ2, Phenom 100 and 300, Citation XLS and Hawker 800XP, to the Falcon 2000 and Gulfstream G200, plus Bell 407 and Bell 429 helicopters.

The company says its clients include families, corporations, people from the film industry and politicians. Flyers should ask which operator and permit will be used for a given trip, and confirm current contact details, since the company website was offline at the time of review.
