Air charter is the business of renting an entire aircraft (i.e., chartering) as opposed to individual aircraft seats (i.e., purchasing a ticket through a traditional airline). While the airlines specialize in selling transportation by the seat, air charter companies focus on individual private aircraft and itineraries, urgent or time-sensitive cargo, air ambulance and any other form of ad hoc air transportation. These air charter companies offer a large variety of aircraft, such as helicopters, and business jets; This includes light jets, mid-size jets, super mid size jets, heavy jets, and airliners. Package holiday companies often charter aircraft specifically for the holidays they sell.[citation needed]
