Aircraft Down? We Get You There.
When your jet is AOG or your charter falls through, we arrange fast, fully-vetted backup lift so your trip still happens.
Backup & AOG charter
Your aircraft is down. Your schedule isn't.
A grounded jet shouldn't cost you the meeting, the closing, or the trip. When your own aircraft is in for maintenance or a booked charter goes AOG, we step in as your backup, sourcing safe, vetted lift fast and coordinating every detail so you still get where you need to be. No scrambling, no cutting safety corners.
When to call us
Your jet is down
Unscheduled maintenance, an AOG event, or a part on order has grounded your aircraft, but your schedule didn't change.
Your charter fell through
The trip you already booked went AOG or cancelled, and you need replacement lift before it derails your day.
Something came up fast
A deal needs to close in person, or you need to reach your operations now, and there's no time for the usual process.
How backup charter works
Fast, but never at the expense of safety.
One call
Tell us where you need to be and when. We start sourcing immediately, 24/7.
We vet it fast
We pull safety-approved aircraft and crews that meet strict standards, even on a tight clock.
You fly
We coordinate the whole trip and confirm a backup that meets standards. You still make it.
Why owners and flight departments keep us on speed dial
Vetted, even under pressure
We never trade safety for speed. Every backup aircraft and crew meets strict Stratos safety, insurance, and experience standards.
Fully coordinated
A complete back-office team handles sourcing, scheduling, and logistics so you make one call and we run the rest.
FlightGuard protection
Built-in coverage if a mechanical issue disrupts the replacement trip, so your backup has a backup.
Aviation judgment you can trust
Run by a captain and CFI who understands exactly what a safe, reliable replacement looks like.
The best time to set up a backup is before you need one
We'll put your typical routes, aircraft preferences, and passenger details on file so the day your jet goes down, it's one call and we're already moving. No forms, no re-explaining, no lost time.
