The same aircraft, up to 75% less.

When a jet flies empty to collect passengers or return home, the operator often sells that flight at a steep discount. The catch is honest: the date, route and aircraft are fixed by the original trip.

Los Angeles airports

Drive time beats flight time.

On a one-hour flight, the right departure airport can save you more time than the aircraft. Times are typical drives from Beverly Hills.

Why a broker · Why Mariva

Someone on your side of the table.

We work for you, not an operator

We don’t own aircraft, so we have no fleet to fill. We compare the market for your trip and recommend what fits — even when the answer is the smaller jet.

A safety floor, with no exceptions

We source only from Part 135 operators holding ARGUS Gold or Platinum, Wyvern Wingman status, or IS-BAO registration — and verify certificates, insurance and crew on every trip.

One advisor, start to finish

The person who quotes your trip is the person who answers the phone on flight day. No call center, no ticket queue, no hand-offs.

FAQ

Questions, answered plainly

How much does a private jet charter from Los Angeles cost?

It depends mainly on the aircraft size and flight time. As a guide, operators charge roughly $2,300 an hour for a turboprop, $3,750 for a light jet and $6,900 for a super-midsize, usually with a 2-hour daily minimum. Use the estimator above for your trip; your advisor then confirms the exact price, including positioning and fees, before anything is booked.

How fast can we fly?

With as little as 4–6 hours' notice, subject to aircraft and crew availability. For holidays, big events and ski season, booking days or weeks ahead gives you far more choice and better pricing.

What is an empty leg?

When an aircraft flies empty to pick up passengers or return home, the operator will often sell that flight at a deep discount — sometimes up to 75% less. The trade-off: the date, time and aircraft are fixed by the original trip. Join the alerts list and we will email Los Angeles departures as they appear.

Do you operate the aircraft?

No. Mariva Charter is a broker. We work for you, source the aircraft from FAA Part 135 certificated operators that meet our safety standards, and arrange the trip. The operator flies and maintains the aircraft and has full operational control of every flight.

What does the price include?

The quote your advisor sends lists everything: aircraft and crew, fuel, positioning to and from your departure airport, landing and handling fees, US federal excise tax and segment fees, and standard catering. Extras such as special catering, ground transport, de-icing or crew overnights are shown separately before you approve.
