Destinations within India:

Taj Air can fly to destinations in India, with the notice being as little as 4 hours where the airports are operational for 24 hours. In other cases it is subject to permissions from the Airport Authority of India and necessary clearances. Being a registered executive aircraft charter service, Taj Air liaises with multiple agencies to ensure that you can fly as efficiently as possible. If your destination is located close to a defense airfield in India, Taj Air facilitates approval for non-Indian passengers much faster than a foreign registered aircraft with a foreign crew.

Destinations outside India:

For international destinations, at least 3 working days notice is required to execute a flight itinerary - primarily due to permissions from the local regulatory authorities (DGCA) in India. It is also subject to receiving ‘over flying’, landing clearances and visa for crew members (as per requirement of the specific country).

Depending on the requirement, the following charges apply:

(1) Night halt charges shall be charged, which includes crew accommodation and all aircraft related landing and parking charges.

(2) Day Detention charges shall be charged after 4 hours of free waiting time (on a per hour basis), in the event of no overnight waiting.

(3) On non-flying days, if the aircraft is kept waiting, 1 hour of flying time shall be charged as "Non Flying Day Charge". On this day, no night halt charges apply.

(4) Any Watch Hour extension levied by the airport shall be billed separately after the flight has been completed, as it cannot be foreseen prior to the flight.

(5) IFS (International Flight Clearance Service) charges comprising of Diplomatic, Over flight, Flight plan, Prepaid ground handling, Landing, Parking, Departure charges, etc. apply for flights operating in the international sector.

You can confirm the aircraft booking by:

(1) Acknowledging 'acceptance' on the quotation / Proforma Invoice and send the same (as a scanned copy) to us.

(2) Making a 100% advance payment towards "confirmation charges" for your flight. Because of our limited inventory we would have offered our aircraft to multiple customers. Hence request you to please let us know if you are confirming the booking, since the aircraft will be subject to availability and confirmed after Taj Air receives the 'credit' of the 100% Invoice value, in advance.

(1) 20% of the total Invoice value if the cancellation is done at least 45 days and 48 hours prior to the scheduled departure on the flight.

(2) 50% of the total Invoice value if the cancellation is done between 48 hours to 24 hours prior to the scheduled departure on the flight.

If any passenger wishes to have a higher limit, it’s really up to that passenger to buy personal accident policy on his own.
