2.- FLIGHT SERVICES GENERAL TERMS

Members appoint and authorize Avium to act as agents for passengers solely to arrange and pay for flight services operated by one or more licensed air carriers and any other services associated with the flight services. The customer understands and agrees that Avium is an air charter broker and does not own or operate any aircraft.

All flight services are arranged on-demand according to customer-directed itineraries and flight requirements. Flight services shall be provided by aircraft air carriers holding an air carrier certificate authorizing them to furnish air transportation services.

Air Carrier shall have exclusive direction, control, and authority over initiating, conducting or terminating flights. Air Carriers, and not Avium or the aircraft owner, are responsible for ensuring the safety of a flight and providing the Flight Services, including the flight crew and aircraft operations. Avium is not a registered Air Carrier, nor does it provide air carrier services. Avium offers the method by which to obtain the Flight Services provided by the Air Carriers, but in no way does it have any responsibility or liability for any Flight Services provided by third parties. The Air Carrier performing the Flight Service will be subject to, among other things, flight time and duty time restrictions, airport limitations that may preclude or limit operations to certain airports, and other applicable regulations and requirements.

Each Member shall at all times ensure that Avium is provided with their current contact details, including but not limited to telephone numbers and a monitored email address. Avium shall have no liability whatsoever for any losses sustained by a Member on account of Avium’s inability to contact them using their disclosed contact details. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes any inability on Avium’s part to communicate changes to the Itinerary.


Avium may issue a Supplementary Invoice following completion of the Itinerary, which shall be settled on demand by the Member named in the Booking Confirmation.

Members understand and agree that the Air Carrier shall have absolute discretion in all matters, including, without limitation, the preparation of the Aircraft for the Flight Service and the Flight Service itself, the load carried and its distribution, the decision as to whether or not a Flight Service will be performed, what route will be flown, and all other matters relating to the operation of the Aircraft. Passenger specifically agrees that Air Carrier shall have final and complete authority to cancel any Flight Service for any reason or condition that in its sole and absolute judgment could compromise the safety of a Flight Service and may take any other action that, in its opinion, is necessitated in consideration of safety. No such action of Air Carrier shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage, or delay to Passenger.


Members and/or Passengers shall be solely responsible for arriving at the specified check-in point at the departure airport in sufficient time and for complying with the Operator’s Terms and Conditions of Carriage, including but not limited to rules regarding luggage restrictions, the carriage of pets and on-board behavior. To the extent a Member or any Passenger fails to comply with such terms, Avium shall be under no liability whatsoever, nor shall it be under any obligation to make alternative travel arrangements for the Member and/or Passengers in the event of any resulting travel disruption. To the extent, Avium does elect to provide assistance in making alternative travel arrangements all associated costs shall be payable on demand by the Member named in the Booking Confirmation.

Passenger further acknowledges and agrees that the failure to submit a completed timely Health Declaration Form or Written Verification, as applicable, for each Passenger on the Charter Flight and/or a positive indication of COVID-19 may result in the denial of boarding without any liability on the part of Avium. A Health Declaration Form or Written Verification, as applicable, shall be considered timely where it is submitted with all requested information completed no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the scheduled departure time.


The itinerary for Flight Services provided by Avium in response to a request by Members might be subject to the approval of the owner of the Aircraft. If applicable, the Aircraft Owner must provide final approval for use of the Aircraft. In the event that the Aircraft Owner does not approve the Flight Itinerary, Avium will attempt to either adjust the terms of the Flight Services so the Aircraft Owner is able to approve the Flight Itinerary or Avium will attempt to find a substitute aircraft for Member. A surcharge may be applicable for the booking of a Substitute Aircraft for the Flight Itinerary. Any such surcharge shall be subject to Passenger’s prior approval. If Substitute Aircraft is not located within 12 hours of a Flight Itinerary being declined or if a Passenger does not approve any applicable surcharge, both Parties will be released from their obligations under these Charter Terms.


Should an Aircraft be diverted to an alternative airport, be forced to return to base, or suffer a technical failure, Avium shall use its reasonable endeavors to provide assistance in sourcing alternative means of transport for the completion of the Itinerary, whether from the original Operator or an alternative Operator/transport provider.

Should such an offer be declined, or should no alternative transportation be available, the Member shall be entitled to a refund from Avium of all funds paid in relation to the Itinerary except as regards monies which have already been paid to the Operator, for which the Member’s sole recourse lies against the Operator. Should such an offer be accepted, the Member shall, unless otherwise agreed by Avium, be liable for any associated costs exceeding the balance of the Member’s funds held in Avium’s client account.
