What characterizes a charter flight?

A charter flight is characterized by the rental of a plane for a group's exclusive use. This means that instead of being part of a scheduled service that the public can book individually, a charter flight is typically arranged by a specific group or organization that has contracted the airline or operator to use the entire aircraft for their own purposes. This can include private groups, businesses, or sports teams, allowing for flexibility in scheduling, routes, and destinations. The unique aspect of a charter flight is that the airline typically does not sell individual tickets to the general public; rather, the entire aircraft is reserved for the group's needs.
