Monarch Air Group

Monarch Air Group: air charter brokerage from Fort Lauderdale

Monarch Air Group, LLC is an air charter broker based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operating since 2006. The company is not an aircraft operator: it acts as an intermediary on behalf of its clients, as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT 14 CFR part 295), and all flights are operated by carriers approved under FAA Part 135 or Part 121, or by foreign civil aviation equivalents.

Its activity focuses on arranging private, executive, and corporate air charters, with access to a global fleet ranging from turboprops to airliners. The company states that it can access thousands of aircraft and numerous international destinations through its network of partner operators.

Aviation services

The service catalog includes:

• On-demand passenger charter flights.
• Air cargo charter.
• ACMI lease (aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance).
• AOG (aircraft on ground) shipments, for spare parts and critical components.
• Aircraft management for owners.

The company also offers government services: supply of mission-critical materials for U.S. government and various NGO missions worldwide, acting as a prime vendor and subcontractor. It provides rotary- and fixed-wing air support for charters and ACMI leases, as well as fuel supply. Monarch Air Group presents itself as an approved provider of on-demand charters for the World Food Program and the Canadian Department of Defense.

Aircraft and onboard services

Preselected operators offer amenities such as onboard Wi-Fi, streaming movies, a full galley, and a flight attendant. Some aircraft allow smoking on board. The company emphasizes that it quotes a specific aircraft rather than a generic category, which allows details such as age, cabin dimensions, and layout to be known in advance.

Business model and customer service

Monarch Air Group defines itself as an independent broker, with no fleet of its own, which allows it to select aircraft across the entire market according to the needs of each trip. It does not require memberships or long-term commitments: each flight is handled on an ad hoc basis. Each client has a dedicated account manager, backed by an operations team available 24/7, who handles aircraft selection, catering, and other administrative requests by phone, email, or text message.

The company states that it is an ARGUS-certified broker and that its clients include NASA, the U.S. Air Force, and Fortune 500 corporations. Its client base includes discerning travelers, corporations, NGOs, and domestic and foreign government entities.

Aircraft management

For aircraft owners, Monarch Air Group offers management services. The company identifies the most suitable FAA Part 135 operator according to the owner's specific needs and provides dedicated in-house liaisons at the managerial level, as well as ongoing client support. Its location in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area, in South Florida, is presented as a suitable environment for aircraft based in the region.
