Sports or science, research and exploration: choose LunaJets to organise your far-flung expedition

Make LunaJets your expedition partner of choice: we can help ensure your expedition is a success by providing the right aircraft for your group, and helping you select the right aircraft in case you need to land in difficult or hard-to-reach terrain. If you are carrying equipment or special supplies, we can help you choose an aircraft with a cabin interior that can be configured to suit your needs.

“We can help you choose an aircraft that lands on difficult terrain, or can access hard-to-reach areas.”

Landing on snow, sand, grass or gravel

Many of the aircraft in the LunaJets fleet can land on sand, snow, grass or gravel and can handle arid desert conditions or mountainous regions. We can also organise helicopter charter for onward destinations, or to reach precise locations with smaller, vertical or tight landing spaces. Helicopters are also ideal for reaching private land, rooftops, flying at low altitudes and for landing much closer to structures and buildings such as cabins or research centres or control towers.

Transport vehicles or machinery with LunaLogistik

If you are part of an organised scientific expedition, explore options with our sister company, LunaLogistik, a cargo transporter that can transport bulky or outsize equipment, including vehicles and machinery.

“The LunaJets fleet spans 4,800 aircraft worldwide: we will have aircraft adapted to the needs of your expedition, research trip or adventure.”

LunaJets’ extensive fleet offers a wide choice of aircraft ideal for far-flung locations

Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of the LunaJets offer for those organising adventure or expeditions, is our vast and flexible global fleet of over 4,800 aircraft. Team organisers can choose from nimble super-light jets that can land on rough terrain, such as the Pilatus PC-24 right through to luxurious Large Jets or Long-Range Jets, able to travel 14,000 kilometres in a single trip.

Did you know? LunaJets’ fleet includes “off-road” aircraft

Within the LunaJets fleet, the Swiss Made Pilatus PC-24 is the only business jet that can land on unpaved runways and is certified as an ‘off-road’ plane, and is certified to safely land on sand, gravel, grass and snowy runways. The Pilatus PC-24 is suited to short runways, giving adventurous travellers access to smaller airfields and landing strips. If you are travelling with equipment which you would like to keep to hand, the interior seats can be easily removed and the cargo compartment divider can be moved, so that the aircraft cabin is adapted to your needs.

A pilot and crew dedicated to you

Charter a jet with LunaJets and your plane, pilot and crew are dedicated to you and the success of your trip, whether it is a scientific expedition, a research project or a far-flung adventure. Choose precisely the type of aircraft you need for your expedition or adventure, and be guided by LunaJets’ expert agents who will advise on which aircraft to charter in terms of range, passenger capacity and how much can be stored in the hold. Pilot and crew are on your schedule, and will take off and land according to your timetable. If you are held up or need to collect other passengers at other destinations, the plane and crew will fly to wherever you need to be. Planes can be diverted and routes can be changed mid-flight if necessary, and clients may charter a plane within just two hours.

If you have not travelled by private jet before, you will be surprised and delighted at the speed and efficiency of private jet travel, including time spent in the private terminal. Especially useful when flying in a group, it is good to know that:

Other benefits of private aircraft charter that are particularly pertinent for trips and expeditions, include the comfort and facilities on board. On larger aircraft, cabins include bedroom and bathroom areas, including showers. Luxurious seating areas mean that passengers can comfortably sit, spread out and relax, discuss and analyze trip details, or get up and move about, which is vital on a long trip.

Secluded long-stay trip? Avoid the possibility of viruses with HEPA cabin filters

For teams that may be about to be isolated together or in a remote area, staying healthy during travels is paramount. We know that adventurous teams or scientific expeditions may find themselves far away from usual infrastructures or from hospitals or medical services. Hence, at LunaJets, we know that groups that will be staying together and about to embark on these types of physically strenuous missions are particularly sensitive to avoiding catching bugs and germs.

Reduce risk with less crowded travel

It is reassuring to know that aircraft within the LunaJets fleet are equipped with high-tech air recirculation systems and HEPA air filters that refresh and remove stale cabin air, thus eliminating allergies, viruses, and germs. These state-of-the-art air circulation systems are refreshed every couple of minutes, greatly decreasing the risk of virus and bacteria. Furthermore, by avoiding crowded terminals and the busy queues found in commercial airports, travellers can rest easy knowing they are not sharing the space with numerous other passengers, thus reducing bacterial risk and exposure.

“We know that groups about to embark on an isolated mission are particularly sensitive to avoiding catching bugs and germs.”

Keep connected to your stats and data with state-of-the-art in-flight technology

We understand that if you are involved in cutting-edge scientific research or expeditions that require careful organisation and meticulous planning, travellers will need to stay informed about meteorological conditions, changing weather patterns, geo-political events or changing environmental factors, particularly when travelling to remote areas.

State-of-the-art technology is available on-board the LunaJets fleet, with superior connectivity in all cabins.Enjoy seamless connectivity in the air, thanks to connected cabins and luxurious meeting spaces onboard.
