Frequently asked questions FAQ

Because your safety is our priority, the 1,200 operators with whom we work all hold an Air Transport Certificate (ATC), issued by civil aviation, guaranteeing compliance with safety requirements. We favour the best air operators whose financial soundness, the validity of air navigation certificates, aircraft maintenance, insurance contracts (minimum set between 10 and 500 million USD depending on the type of aircraft) and crew qualifications are also checked. AEROAFFAIRES thus enables its customers to take off from more than 8,000 sites worldwide in full compliance with the safety instructions issued by the largest civil aviation organisations and departments (ICAO, EASA, FAA). All this to guarantee you the same level of safety as the major international airlines (Air France, American Airlines, Lufthansa).

When AEROAFFAIRES sends you its price offer, the prices are valid for one month, subject to the availability of the equipment at the time of your confirmation. In the event that the device you select is no longer available, the AEROAFFAIRES team will immediately send you an alternative offer.

You are free to choose the payment method that suits you best. Credit card payment automatically adds a 4% fee to the total amount of the bill.

As soon as the flight is confirmed, AEROAFFAIRES makes a commitment to the airlines. Cancellation, following written confirmation of booking by email or confirmed by phone, will result in a minimum cancellation of 30% if it occurs at least 60 days before the departure date. Between 60 and 40 days, the cancellation fee is 40% of the total amount of the flight. From 30 to 7 days before departure, the fee is 50% of the amount. From 7 days to 48 hours, the fees will represent 80% of the amount of the flight invoice. A cancellation that occurs within 48 hours before the flight, would result in the full payment of the flight invoice amount.

In case of bad weather preventing the plane takeoff or landing, the flight will be cancelled and refunded. AEROAFFAIRES, as a responsible company, does not take any risks.

Passengers usually board any time after 2:00am (commerical aircraft) and should be present 10 minutes before departue time (private jet/helicopter) according to the information stipulated on the flight plan. Any delay caused by the passengers will incur the responsibility of the customer vis-à-vis the carrier. If the subcontracting carrier had to pay additional airport taxes or cause a delay for the next flight, additional charges could be charged to the customer.

At most airports, AEROAFFAIRES customers have access to special VIP lounges where they can refresh themselves before their flight. We will send you detailed information before your departure.

The passage of the security check depends on the conditions at the airport of departure and arrival. At any airport, when security checks are carried out, you can be assured that they are carried out discreetly in a suitable VIP setting.

We also make sure that the little ones travel safely. Baby carriers can be placed on board if you are traveling with infants. Older children can use seat belts on each passenger seat. For a flight with children under 3 years old, choosing a pressurized cabin can help to prevent earaches.
