what is the difference between charter and scheduled flight?

Question

can u plz describe it

Answer 1

A scheduled flight (hence the name) is a flight that runs on a schedule. For instance, a flight that goes out everyday at the same time to the same destination.

A charter flight is one that is flown on a special trip but is not on a schedule, it's a one time flight. For instance, sports teams often charter planes to take them to an event.

Answer 2

A charter airline is one that operates charter flights, that is flights that take place outside normal schedules, by a hiring arrangement with a particular customer. In the context of mass tourism, charter flights have acquired the more specific meaning of a flight whose sole function is to transport holidaymakers to tourist destinations. Such charter flights are contrasted with scheduled flights, but they do in fact operate to regular, published schedules. However, tickets are not sold directly by the charter airline to the passengers, but by holiday companies who have chartered the flight (sometimes in a consortium with other companies). Although charter airlines typically carry passengers who have booked individually or as small groups to beach resorts, historic towns, or cities where a cruise ship is awaiting them, sometimes an aircraft will be chartered by a single group such as members of a company, a sports team, or the military.

Answer 3

A scheduled flight is a commercial flight that runs regularly between two airports. A chartered flight is a flight that is hired by an entity to make an unscheduled flight. That is to say a flight between two airports that either don't have regular flights between them or at a time of day or date that is not scheduled to have a regular flight.

Chartered flights are common for holiday makers when they want to take loads of passengers to a specific destination at a specific time.

Answer 4

Scheduled flight is a flight usually open to the general public on a regular route (like a bus), charter flight is usually a private or limited access flight on a particular chosen route (like a taxi)

Answer 5

Charter flights leave when "YOU" tell them to. Scheduled flights leave when "THEY" tell you they are leaving. And charter flights cost a lot more.

Answer 6

charter is off schedule and usualy can be rented
