Private Jet Charter Safety at Centurion Jets
Your Safety Is Our Top Priority
At Centurion Jets, we believe that safety is the foundation of every exceptional private flight experience. From takeoff to touchdown, our highest priority is the well-being of every passenger, crew member, and aircraft we arrange.
We don’t just talk about safety — we live it. Our founders are FAA-licensed commercial pilots with years of operational aviation experience, which gives us a deep, working knowledge of flight operations, regulatory compliance, and international safety standards.
FAA Part 135 Certified Operators Only
Centurion Jets exclusively partners with FAA Part 135 certified operators, ensuring every flight we arrange complies with rigorous safety standards. These operators are required to meet strict guidelines covering pilot training, maintenance schedules, and operational oversight. Whether you’re flying on a light jet for a short regional trip or a long-range heavy jet for an international journey, your aircraft will be operated by a team with an impeccable safety record.
Our Commitment to Transparent and Legal Charter Flights
When you book a private jet with Centurion Jets, you can be confident that:
Every aircraft is properly registered and maintained under Part 135 or equivalent international standards.
Pilots meet or exceed the FAA-required experience, training, and rest standards.
We provide you with the operator’s details and certificate information upon request.
There are no illegal “gray charters” in our network — ever.
Backed by Global Safety Standards
We go beyond U.S. regulations to monitor and align with internationally recognized safety benchmarks, including:
ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards
EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) protocols
IS-BAO (International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations) certification (when applicable)
These standards ensure worldwide accountability and consistent operational excellence across the fleet of aircraft we offer access to.
ARGUS & WYVERN Operator Ratings
When available, we work with aircraft operators who carry ARGUS Gold/Platinum or WYVERN Wingman ratings — two of the most respected third-party safety audits in business aviation. These certifications evaluate pilot qualifications, maintenance records, incident history, and more.

Security
What to Expect from Private Jet Security?
When flying with Centurion Jets, your safety and security are paramount — but unlike commercial travel, your experience is streamlined, private, and far more comfortable.
Do Private Jet Passengers Go Through TSA?
While the same standards of safety and screening apply, private jet travelers do not go through traditional TSA checkpoints. Instead, security procedures are handled discreetly at Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) — private terminals designed for efficiency and exclusivity.
Streamlined Security Protocols
Chartering a private flight means avoiding long lines, invasive screenings, and congested terminals. At most regional and executive airports, security is:
-
Handled directly at the FBO (private terminal)
-
Overseen by trained staff and flight crew
-
Custom-tailored to ensure both safety and privacy
Private Vehicle Ramp Access
At many locations, you can drive your vehicle directly to the aircraft, where your baggage is loaded and inspected, and your identification is verified by the captain. This curb-to-cabin convenience is a hallmark of private aviation.
Baggage & ID Verification
Though less formal than TSA, your:
-
Passport or ID is checked before boarding
-
Bags are visually inspected or scanned for security
-
Flight crew performs final clearances before takeoff
International Flight Security & Customs
For international private jet flights:
-
Customs officials may meet your aircraft upon landing
-
Clearance is fast, secure, and often completed within minutes
-
Your charter broker will arrange everything in advance for a seamless arrival
At many airports, this “plane-side customs clearance” eliminates the need to pass through busy terminals, keeping your arrival discreet and efficient.
Travel with Total Confidence
Whether you’re flying for business, leisure, or high-profile engagements, Centurion Jets ensures your trip is not only legal and luxurious — but also secure at every touchpoint.
From confidential flight manifests to ramp-side security, our team works behind the scenes to maintain the highest levels of discretion and protection.
Luxury should never compromise safety — and at Centurion Jets, it never does.
