Something else?
If your trip calls for an aircraft outside our fleet, tell us the trip. We arrange the right aircraft and crew through another FAA-certificated carrier, name the operator in your quote and manage the trip end to end.
Passenger counts are practical limits with bags; final seats and payload depend on fuel, baggage and conditions. We confirm the fit for your group when we quote.
Pricing
Quoted per trip. All in.
Charter is quoted per trip, one way per aircraft, on three things: the aircraft, the distance and your dates. Every Citizen Air quote is all in, with only a small number of pass-through charges for special services or unusual conditions, such as after-hours operations or a town car at your destination. You see the breakdown before you commit.
Flying the same regional routes often? SoundPass, our membership program, has its own published per-seat rates. Aircraft repositioning between trips can also open up empty legs at reduced rates.
Pass-through charges
- After hours fee
- $60–$120
- No show fee
- $100
- Pilot standby
- $80
- Town car (Seattle area)
- From $85
- Courtesy car (Port Angeles)
- Complimentary when available
Plus sales tax where applicable.
Safety and pilots
Small aircraft, commercial standards.
Citizen Air operates under FAA Air Carrier Certificate No. RTEA813H (14 CFR Part 135), the federal standard for on-demand charter. Every flight is a regulated commercial operation, not a private trip.
- Our pilots hold FAA commercial certificates with instrument ratings and complete recurrent training in the aircraft and the simulator on a set schedule.
- Our aircraft are maintained by our own team on manufacturer and FAA-approved maintenance programs.
- We manage operational risk through a Safety Management System built to the FAA's Part 5 framework.
- When a trip calls for an aircraft outside our fleet, we arrange it with another FAA-certificated air carrier that has operational control of that flight. The operator is named in your quote before you book, and we stay your point of contact throughout.
- If conditions do not meet our operating minimums, the flight waits. You are told early, and we rebook at no charge or refund in full.
Home base
When your trip starts with us.
Your trip can start and end anywhere. When it starts or ends at our base, our own team handles fuel, ramp and customs coordination, because Citizen Air also runs the FBO.
- No security line, no TSA. Arrive five minutes before departure.
- Parking at the airport is free.
- Our courtesy car and shuttle to town, complimentary when available. Avis Budget rental cars on site; we can book one for you.
- Gateway to Olympic National Park. Bring the packs, poles and skis.
