Mercury Jets

Mercury Jets is an independent private charter broker that arranges on-demand flights for clients under DOT 14 CFR Part 295. They do not own or operate aircraft, but instead work with over 7,000 aircraft from hundreds of operators worldwide. Their service is designed for Fortune 500 corporations, family offices, celebrities, government agencies, and NGOs who need fast, reliable, and efficient air transportation.

Mercury Jets is located at 244 Fifth Avenue, Suite D-273 in New York, NY, and also has an office at 610 SW 34th St #307 in Fort Lauderdale, FL. They operate 24/7/365 and can arrange flights with as little as four hours' notice, with their fastest departure ever arranged in just 25 minutes.

The company is part of Monarch Air Group, which holds ARGUS Certified Charter Broker designation. This certification provides independent validation of their safety, ethics, and best-practice charter processes. They also maintain membership with the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA).

Mercury Jets offers a wide range of services including same-day departures, group charters, sports team charters, music tours, and pet-friendly flights. They also handle medical evacuations, air ambulance flights, and government or humanitarian evacuation missions.

The cost calculator on their website states that rates as of 2026 generally range from $1,800 to $12,500 per hour. Short-range flights cost $1,800 – $3,500/hour, mid-range flights cost $3,500 – $6,500/hour, and long-range flights cost $6,500 – $12,500/hour.

Heavy jets can accommodate up to 19 passengers depending on the configuration, while some are set up for as few as eight. Midsize and Super Midsize jets typically include flight attendants and a full galley, whereas smaller jets may not.

Mercury Jets states that their aircraft can access hundreds of small regional airports because private jets require a minimum runway length of only 5,000 feet. This allows passengers to fly to destinations that commercial jets cannot reach.

A single pilot is sufficient for some private jets, meaning not all aircraft require two pilots. The specific crew composition depends on the type of jet being used for the flight.

The company claims to have over 1,000 five-star reviews on Trustpilot and a 4.9 out of 5 rating. Their Trustburn rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 reviews, with the most recent feedback coming in December 2023.

Clients praise the company for providing newer aircraft, handling all aspects of the trip, and offering professional, friendly, and skilled staff. Reviewers consistently highlight the seamless booking process, clean and luxurious aircraft, and the overall comfort of the journey.

Mercury Jets arranges flights for large groups, including sports teams and music tours, and can even accommodate pets on board. They also provide specialized services like medevac and air ambulance flights for medical emergencies.

The company operates as an agent under DOT 14 CFR Part 295, meaning they are a charter broker rather than an aircraft operator. Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 or Part 121 operator, or a foreign CAA equivalent.

Clients can book flights with as little as four hours' notice, and the process involves using their online charter flight cost calculator or contacting their 24/7 customer service team directly.

Mercury Jets differentiates itself by not being limited to a single fleet; they research a vast pool of pre-approved operators to find the most suitable aircraft based on amenities, airports, and budget. They also provide real-time tracking of every flight.

The company emphasizes safety and reliability, stating that private aviation is the most effective, reliable, and safe form of air transportation today. They also value discretion and convenience for their clients.
