Two ways to use a private jet in a production
There are two ways to film or photograph with an aircraft, and they are quoted differently. The first is in flight: the session takes place during a real transfer, making the most of the crew and the talent already being on board. The second — the usual one in fashion and advertising — is on the ground: the aircraft is booked by the hour, parked on the apron or in a hangar, and never takes off. Interior and exterior are photographed with all the set-up time you need.
What to define before requesting a quote
The more of these details you give us, the tighter the proposal will be and the fewer surprises on shoot day:
People and hours. How many crew members board the aircraft and how many hours it is occupied, set-up and wrap included.
Apron or hangar. A hangar gives total control of the light and does not depend on the weather; the apron allows exteriors with the aircraft in its real setting.
Equipment. Strobes, tripods, dolly or drone change the permits and sometimes the need for power and for handling staff during the session.
Image usage. A social post is not the same as a campaign: the registration and the operator markings may require express authorisation.
A date with room to move. An aircraft may be called into commercial service; with an alternative date or time slot everything runs far more smoothly.
What the operator requires
The aircraft is still an aeroplane in service, so the conditions are not negotiable: no smoke, no fire and no liquids in the cabin, equipment is secured and never rested on the seats, and handling staff supervise the session. Nothing on board is dismantled or repositioned without authorisation. These are the same rules that make it possible for that jet to fly the next day.
Which aircraft works best
For interiors, cabin height and natural light are what matter: the heavy jet and ultra long range categories give more room to place camera and equipment. For exteriors on the apron any category works, and the criterion becomes the silhouette of the aircraft and the background. You can see dimensions and capacity for each model in the fleet.
Where it is done
We work with business aviation terminals (FBOs) that have both apron and hangar. In Spain it is usually done at Madrid-Barajas, Barcelona-El Prat or Ibiza, and we can arrange it at any of the airports where we operate.
How we start
Tell us what you need — type of production, crew, dates and whether you prefer a flight or a session on the ground — through the quote form or on WhatsApp, and we will tell you what is feasible, at which airport and with which permits. If your production also involves an actual crew transfer, it can be combined with a private charter and use the same movement.
