ServicesTurboprop Charter
Turboprop Charter Flights from Edinburgh, IN
For a short regional hop, a turboprop is often the best fit. It can use small airfields, takes a full group and their bags, and runs cheaper per hour than a jet. We quote it one way with everything included, and you see photos of the plane before booking.
How a turboprop works and when to pick one
A turboprop spins a propeller with a jet engine. It flies a little slower than a light jet, but it uses less fuel and gets off shorter runways. On a trip of an hour or two, a jet usually saves you only a few minutes.
Six to eight seats is typical, and many models have a proper bag area for golf clubs, sample cases and strollers. Sales teams covering two plants in one day and families flying to a lake house from Columbus or Franklin book them often.
After 5 years in business, every turboprop trip still starts the same way. You give us the where and when, we track down the plane, and before you commit you see photos of that exact aircraft and cabin, in our office or over video.
What comes with your turboprop charter
- 01
Everything in one quote
The price covers the plane, the crew, fuel and the standard fees, with no hidden costs added once you land. Anything optional, such as catering, is marked that way.
- 02
Priced point to point
A one-way trip is billed as one way. The plane's flight home never turns your trip into round trip pricing.
- 03
Pictures of your plane
You see the exact aircraft you will board, never a catalog image. The seats, cabin layout and bag space are all in view before you agree.
- 04
Room for pets
Pets can fly. Let us know how many and how big on the call, and we choose a plane with space for them.
- 05
Wi-Fi on request
WIFI equipped aircraft are available. Mention it when you call and we check that the plane we book has it, because some turboprops do not.
- 06
Covered if the plane is grounded
Should a mechanical problem keep the plane on the ground, mechanical insurance covers up to 100% of replacement flight cost, so reaching your destination does not cost you twice.

The trip is short
Under about two hours of flying, a turboprop gets you there close to jet time for less money.
The airport is small
Some destinations only have short or older runways. A turboprop can use many fields a jet cannot, which can put you closer to where you are going.
You are bringing a lot of gear
Hunting gear, trade show crates, tools or a pile of family luggage. Many turboprops have more usable baggage room than a light jet.
Budget matters
If the goal is a private flight without paying for speed you will not use, this is usually the lowest hourly cost we can offer.
You need to move today
We take calls around the clock, 24/7. Turboprops are often easier to find on short notice for a regional hop.

What sets the price of a turboprop charter
Turboprops are usually the cheapest way to fly private, yet each quote comes from the details of your trip. These are the things that shift it, and we go over each one with you by phone.
- Hours flown
- Time in the air drives most of the price. Longer legs cost more, and a strong headwind can stretch the flight.
- Where the plane is based
- When the nearest good fit is parked far off, bringing it to you can change the price. With point to point pricing you are not charged for a full return.
- Waiting and overnight stays
- Coming back the same day after a few hours on the ground is priced differently from a trip where the crew spends the night.
- When you fly
- Fewer planes are free on holiday weekends and in busy seasons. Last-minute trips can run higher when choices are thin.
Questions about turboprop charter
Are turboprops as safe as jets?
Yes. They run on turbine engines, the same core technology jets use, with professional crews at the controls, and regional operators rely on them every day. You see the plane before booking, so there are no surprises.
Will it be louder than a jet?
Slightly, mainly in the seats near the propellers. Most people chat at a normal level. If you plan to take calls, ask and we will tell you which seats are quieter.
How many passengers and bags can it take?
Six to eight passengers is typical. Bag space varies by model and by how many seats are taken. Share your headcount and gear when you call and we pick a plane that handles the load.
What if the plane has a mechanical issue?
Mechanical insurance covers up to 100% of replacement flight cost, and we get to work lining up another aircraft so your trip still happens.
Turboprop or light jet: which should I choose?
On short trips and into small airports, a turboprop is usually cheaper. When the trip is longer or speed and altitude count, see our Light Jet Charter or Midsize Jet Charter options. We recommend what suits the trip, not what costs more.
