Absolute privacy
Who flies with us, and where, is not something we discuss. Not with press, not with partners, not in a case study.
01 — Private jet charter
Private aviation, held to an operator’s standard
A DGCA-permitted operator in New Delhi, working in aviation since 1984. Charter, air ambulance, helicopter and aircraft transactions — arranged by the house that holds the permit.
- DGCA Non-Scheduled Operator Permit
- Established 1984
- New Delhi
- Desk staffed 24 hours
How we work
Flying arranged from
your side of the conversation
We start with the meeting you have to reach or the person you have to see, and work backwards to the aircraft — not the other way round.
Built around you
No packages and no membership tiers. You tell us the day you need, and we build the flight backwards from it.
Handled door to door
Terminal access, ground transfers, clearances and catering are arranged by the same desk that arranged the aircraft.
Why private aviation
The luxury is not the aircraft.
It is the time it gives back.
Time, returned
Arrive twenty minutes before departure. No queue, no gate, no connection built around someone else's schedule.
Airfields, not just airports
A light jet reaches runways that scheduled carriers do not serve, which usually means landing closer to where you are actually going.
A cabin that is yours
Hold a board meeting, sleep, or travel with family. Nobody else is on the aircraft.
One desk, one file
The same people handle the quotation, the clearance and the car at the other end. Nothing is handed off.
The aircraft
Our own aircraft. Not a
listing on someone else’s.
VT-MON · Based New Delhi
Cessna Citation CJ II
One aircraft, owned and operated by us. Not a listing on someone else's fleet page — an aeroplane on our permit, with crew we know and a maintenance record we can show you.

One desk, one file
The same person,
every journey
The person who quotes you is the person who runs the flight. You will not be handed to an account manager, and you will not have to explain the trip twice. If something changes at midnight, you call the number you already have.
Permit, not promise
The credentials
behind every departure
Anyone can call themselves a charter company. Fewer hold the permit that makes them answerable for the flight. These are the things you can check, and we would rather you did.

Operator, not broker
Most people selling charter in India do not hold a permit
There is nothing wrong with a broker — but you should know which one you are speaking to, because it changes who is answerable when something goes wrong.
Who holds the permit?
A brokerA third party you may not be told about until the day.
CAFWe do. CAF holds a DGCA Non-Scheduled Operator Permit.
Who answers at 3 a.m.?
A brokerAn inbox, and an operator in another time zone.
CAFThe same desk that quoted you. Staffed 24 hours.
Who is accountable when weather closes a sector?
A brokerThe broker refers you to the operator.
CAFWe tell you before you leave for the airport.
Government departments and public undertakings have chartered aircraft through CAF. We name them because the work is a matter of record — not as an endorsement, which we have not sought and would not publish.

Before you call
Questions worth asking first
If the answer to any of these matters to you, ask us the same question on the phone. You will get the same answer.
How much does it cost to charter a private jet in India?
Charter is priced by the aircraft and the flying time, not per seat, so a quotation is only meaningful once the route, date and passenger count are known. A quotation from us covers aircraft, crew, positioning, ground handling, landing fees, catering and taxes. We quote the full figure rather than a headline hourly rate that grows on the invoice.
Is CAF an operator or a broker?
An operator. CAF holds a DGCA Non-Scheduled Operator Permit and operates a Cessna Citation CJ II, VT-MON, from New Delhi. Where a journey needs an aircraft we do not have, we arrange it from operators we have worked with and tell you plainly whose permit you are flying under. Most companies selling charter in India cannot say the first part.
How much notice do you need to arrange a flight?
For a domestic sector, a same-day departure is often possible if the aircraft and crew are free and the clearance is straightforward. Twenty-four hours is comfortable. International sectors, and any flight needing overflight or landing permissions, need longer. We will tell you at the point of enquiry whether your date is realistic rather than after you have committed.
How long has Choudhary Aviation Facilities been operating?
The company was established in New Delhi in 1984 and has worked in Indian aviation continuously since — first in technical and support services, later in aircraft transactions and regulatory work, and now as a permit-holding charter operator. The private client side of the business is the newest part of a long-established house.
Can you arrange an air ambulance?
Yes, and it should be arranged by telephone rather than by form. Call +91 92896 09996 at any hour. We coordinate the aircraft, the clearances and the airport-to-hospital transfers, and we work with the medical team accompanying the patient. We arrange the transport; clinical care remains with the qualified medical personnel on board.
Where do you fly from?
Our aircraft is based in New Delhi and our office is at Mehram Nagar, Delhi Cantonment, minutes from the general aviation terminal at Indira Gandhi International. We fly throughout India and to neighbouring countries, and we can position the aircraft to another Indian city so a journey starts where you are.
