Universal Jet

Universal Jet, also known as UJET and Universal Jet Charter, is a private aviation company based at Boca Raton Airport in Florida. The company's office is at 3700 Airport Road, which is the airport's FBO complex. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as Universal Jet Charter, LLC and names Christian Matteis as president. The company's website also names him as CEO.

Its main service is on-demand private jet charter. Clients ask for trip quotes online or by phone, and the company says it answers calls around the clock. The website also has pages on aircraft sales, including buying, selling and current inventory, plus aircraft management. A financing page refers to outside lenders.

The website sorts charter aircraft by category, from very light jets through light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jets. It also lists turboprops, helicopters and piston aircraft. No public source reviewed for this profile confirms that Universal Jet runs its own aircraft under its own FAA Part 135 certificate. Flyers should assume the company arranges flights with third-party operators unless it states otherwise for a specific trip.

The website names several other locations, including Teterboro, Van Nuys, Las Vegas, London and Moscow. These have not been confirmed independently. The company says it has been in business since 1995, but the BBB record gives a business start date of February 2010 for the current LLC. Before booking, flyers may want to ask which operator will fly the trip and what safety audits that operator holds.
