TrueSkies Aviation Group

TrueSkies Aviation Group is a private aviation charter and advisory firm associated with Santa Barbara, California (KSBA). It does not operate its own aircraft; flights are arranged with third-party operators that the company says it vets.

Clients can book trips on a pay-as-you-go basis, called True Demand, with no membership or annual contract. The TrueSkies Reserve program is a funds-on-account arrangement with a refundable deposit starting at US$100,000, priced at operator rates plus a service fee, and positioned as an alternative to a traditional jet card.

The firm also coordinates group and tour charters, including multi-aircraft travel for touring parties, and offers advisory support on aircraft acquisition, sales and management. Its website says the founders come from aviation and music touring backgrounds.

TrueSkies states that operators it uses are vetted against ARGUS, Wyvern and IS-BAO standards; these refer to the operators, not to TrueSkies itself. An independent charter broker directory lists the firm as a broker for ad hoc passenger and group trips.
