A private jet is often considered a luxurious means of transportation, offering a certain level of comfort and flexibility. A symbol of luxury and sometimes of ‘no limits’, one could almost imagine that anything is possible on board a private jet, provided certain privileges are obtained. But what about reality? Did you know that there are restrictions on board a private jet? Can you bring anything and everything on board a private jet? Can everything be brought on board a private jet? That’s what AEROAFFAIRES invites you to discover.
What are the rules to follow on board a private jet regarding personal items?
Security rules must be followed by passengers:
Firstly, there are safety rules to be followed. Potentially dangerous items, such as firearms, explosives, chemicals, and controlled drugs, are prohibited on board the cabin of all aircraft, including private jets. Air safety regulations are strict and cannot be ignored.
Size restrictions must be respected:
Secondly, there are restrictions on bulky items. Private jets generally have limited storage space, so it is important to limit yourself to what is absolutely necessary for the trip. Bulky items, such as sports equipment, furniture, and pets, may not be allowed on board depending on the size of the aircraft and the availability of storage space.
Customs and security regulations specific to the destination country must be respected:
It is also important to respect the customs and security regulations of the state you are traveling to. For example, certain food and plant products may be prohibited in certain countries and must be declared to customs authorities. It is therefore advisable to check local regulations before departing. Notify the AEROAFFAIRES team if you wish to travel with food. We will be able to inform you if they are allowed or not.
Maximum weight capacity of the private jet must be respected:
Finally, it is important to consider the weight limitations of the aircraft. Private jets have weight limits to ensure flight safety, and excess weight can result in additional costs. It is therefore wise to plan ahead and check weight limits with the air broker before packing.
