Charter & Fractional
Questionable ‘Customers’ Still Target the Charter Business
Fraudulent charters, nonexistent airplanes and thousands of dollars of absconded funds serve as a warning to watch out for potential scammers.

An AIN article last year about an individual who allegedly booked and flew charter flights without paying the provider more than $220,000 prompted readers to submit additional information about suspected aviation-related scams. In one case brought to AIN’s attention, an individual expressed interest in large transactions that never came about and ended up costing a service provider a significant amount time and also harmed this provider’s reputation. In another case, a charter company that might not even exist allegedly kept money for charter trips that never took place.
