Our Causes


“We are all like one-winged angels. It is only when we help each other that we can fly.” -- Luciano de Crescenzo

Desert Jet holds numerous non-profit organizations close to our hearts. We donate our time, resources and aircraft whenever possible to help these worthy causes, and we hope you’ll join us in doing the same. Please visit these organization’s websites to see how you can help.

Recent Missions

One of our recent missions included providing transportation for 6 puppies rescued by Lucky Star Cavalier Rescue, a non-profit charitable organization, from a Missouri puppy mill to their new foster and forever homes in California.

Another recent mission involved flying children and counselors home from Camp Laurel, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth and families living with HIV and AIDS. This mission was coordinated through Angel Flight West.

Educational Sponsorship

Desert Jet has recently announced it is sponsoring a Corporate Aviation Management scholarship through Women in Aviation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing networking, mentoring and scholarship opportunities for women and men who are striving for challenging and fulfilling careers in the aviation and aerospace industries. Desert Jet is sponsoring this scholarship to promote the professional development and leadership skills of business aviation pilots who seek careers in aviation management or desire to start their own aviation-related business. It is envisioned that a pilot would be able to transition into a position of leadership with the training provided by this scholarship.

More information on the scholarship, including application procedures, can be found at the Women in Aviation website.

Eco-Friendly Flights

Desert Jet understands that the environment in which we live is our most important resource. We believe that as good citizens of the planet, we must do our part to mitigate our impact on the environment.

To this end, Desert Jet has partnered with TerraPass®, the leading retailer of carbon offsets. The offset program is designed to reduce the carbon footprint resulting from private air transportation by funding clean energy and greenhouse gas reduction projects.

By funding clean energy and efficiency projects, you can sponsor a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that is directly proportional to the emissions created by your charter flight. Simply purchase carbon offsets designed to reduce the carbon footprint resulting from private air transportation by funding clean energy and greenhouse gas reduction projects.

Desert Jet can handle all carbon offset purchases for you and provide you with a monthly statement outlying your contributions.

Desert Jet has made huge strides in its efforts to reduce the impact of air transportation on the environment. Desert Jet operates aircraft with the newest, quietest, fuel-efficient engines. These high-performance aircraft are able to climb very quickly, reducing the noise impact on the community.

Now with our partnership with TerraPass, we hope to be able to join with our clients in mitigating our impact on the environment.
