Operator Spotlight: Planemasters

Air Charter Guide recently spoke with Todd DeSimone at Planemasters, a private jet company based at DuPage Airport (KDPA) in West Chicago.

1)  What sets your operation apart from the competition?      
Most major airline companies frequently fly to the big cities, but if you have a more remote location in mind, getting there can be a challenge. With Planemasters’ air charter Chicago services however, you can fly directly to remote areas virtually anywhere in the world – no more traveling for hours to reach your destination after your flight has landed. Our private business jets can pick you up anywhere in the continental U.S. and take you wherever you need to go. The sky is your limit!

2)  How would you describe your fleet or flagship aircraft?
Planemasters offers an exquisite fleet of world-class aircraft and freedom from canceled flights, inconvenient connections, and general airport chaos by providing direct access to locations around the globe. Our dedicated, 24-hour scheduling department is available to help you choose the appropriate aircraft to meet your travel and budget needs. Whether you’re planning a corporate meeting or arranging a family getaway, we have the right aircraft for you.

3)  What does the future look like for your company?  
With over 30 years of experience providing luxury travel around the world, we look forward to a continued track record of safe, flexible and dependable service.  

4)  Do you specialize in ambulance or cargo?
Yes, cargo! We provide thousands of flight hours of scheduled and on-demand express air freight service to industrial centers and remote locations throughout the United States and Canada. With a fleet of seven Cessna Caravan aircraft, we provide 23 scheduled flights weekly, serving 17 communities with six routes. We can deliver up to 3,200 pounds per plane, and we provide feeder service for some of the world’s top freight carriers, as well as ad-hoc freight charter service.

5) What else should we know about your company?
Planemasters Jet Charter also provides aircraft management services, helping people enjoy the benefits of aircraft ownership without any of the hassles. With our aircraft leaseback program, Planemasters gives you the advantage of hundreds of charter opportunities during your down time. We can put your aircraft on our certificate, and we’ll handle the paperwork, management and operational responsibilities. This will allow your aircraft to become a frequent flyer, generating revenue during its otherwise idle time.

We also offer a turnkey aircraft management program in which we handle everything related to the day-to-day management of your aircraft, saving you time and money. You’ll be able to fly your jet whenever you want, while enjoying everything else our turnkey aircraft management program offers.
