Jet Methods

Jet Methods is a private aviation company based at 2016 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, California. Aviation press places its operation at McClellan-Palomar Airport (CRQ). The company says it has been in business for 22 years and reports more than 39,000 flights flown.

Its services cover aircraft management for owners, per-trip charter, a Fleet Jet Card membership, aircraft sales brokerage for private and corporate jets, and a co-ownership scheme in which up to three owners share one aircraft.

Jet Methods operates charter flights under FAA Part 135. In October 2025 ch-aviation reported that the company had begun Part 135 flights with a Challenger 605 seating up to nine passengers and had resumed charter with a Citation CJ3. The same report listed its Part 135 fleet in July 2025 as two Phenom 100s, a Phenom 300, a Phenom 300E, a Hawker 850XP and a Pilatus PC-12.

Since many of its aircraft are owner-managed, the aircraft available for charter can change. Flyers should confirm the specific aircraft and its certificate when they request a quote.
