Atmosphere Aviation

Atmosphere Aviation is a private jet charter broker headquartered on Fifth Avenue in downtown Seattle, Washington. Its website states that it is not an aircraft operator or direct air carrier. Flights are run by separate certificated carriers that hold operational control.

The company arranges on-demand charter on aircraft ranging from helicopters and business jets to large VIP airliners, and markets discounted empty-leg flights. Clients are assigned an aviation advisor available around the clock, and the company also offers concierge help, in-flight catering arrangements and planning for adventure travel.

It does not sell memberships or jet cards. The website says it charges no membership fees or upfront costs, so pricing is quoted trip by trip.

On safety, the company says it works with ARG/US, Wyvern and IS-BAO and links to an ARG/US broker ratings document. Its website does not specify which ratings or audits apply to Atmosphere Aviation itself and which to the operators it uses.

Flyers should ask which operator will fly a given trip and check that operator's current audit status. The website does not give a founding date.
