Is there a membership or contract to charter through The Jaime Forte Agency?

No. Every charter is arranged on demand, with no annual fees, deposit accounts, or contracts.

What happens if a mechanical issue grounds my flight?

If your booked aircraft cannot complete the mission, FlightGuard™ provides a defined financial benefit and a recovery aircraft. Because we understand the stakes of your travel, this uncompromising protection is automatically secured and seamlessly included in every itinerary we arrange.

Can the agency handle a complex, multi-leg, or last-minute departure from KOCF?

Yes. Stratos FMS™ sources aircraft across the full network, and Jaime's operational background means issues like customs delays or airport curfews tend to get caught ahead of time rather than discovered mid-trip.

Will we work with the same advisor consistently, or does our point of contact rotate?

You work directly with Jaime, from your first call to wheels-down, not a rotating desk. He's backed by Stratos Jets' national coordination team for logistics behind the scenes, but every decision on your trip, and every call you make, goes to him.

Do you provide supplemental or backup lift when our company aircraft are unavailable?

Yes. Jaime sources supplemental lift when a flight department's own aircraft are at capacity, down for scheduled maintenance, or unexpectedly AOG, matching the aircraft category and crew experience level to your department's own standards.

Can you set up recurring travel for the WEC/OBS season instead of booking each trip separately?

Yes. Jaime works with clients ahead of the season to plan out the recurring travel pattern tied to the competition and sales calendar, so each leg does not require a fresh booking conversation.

What happens to my deposit or equity if I leave a fractional program?

That depends entirely on your specific program's contract terms, buyback provisions, and remaining commitment period. Jaime reviews your current agreement with you directly as part of a cost comparison, so you understand your options before making a decision.

How does the true cost of a fractional or jet card program compare to on-demand charter?

The comparison usually comes down to what you're paying for time you're not flying: monthly management fees and depreciating equity if you're in a fractional share, or unused prepaid hours if you're on a jet card, versus a per-trip rate with no ongoing costs.

Does Stratos Jets, or the Jaime Forte Agency, own or operate aircraft?

No. Stratos Jets is an ARGUS-certified charter broker, not an aircraft operator, and The Jaime Forte Agency operates under that same broker status. Every flight is operated by an FAA-certificated Part 135 air carrier, fully responsible for airworthiness, crew qualifications, and flight operations.

Why does an operations background matter when choosing my broker?

Jaime and his team review a carrier's flight logs, crew currency, and FAA compliance history directly, the same records he was responsible for maintaining in his own Part 135 role, rather than relying on an operator's marketing claims or a certification alone.

A Local Advisor Who Already Knows the Season

Ocala runs on a calendar most national brokers have never heard of. The Jaime Forte Agency tracks the World Equestrian Center and Ocala Breeders' Sales schedule because a return flight slipping by an hour during a competition week has real financial and competitive consequences for a rider or owner.

Clients benefit from a local advisor who comprehends the importance of fixed return schedules, supported by the same ARGUS-certified network as every Stratos Jets flight nationwide.

The framework behind every flight

Trained to Catch the Gaps

Risk-Managed Private Aviation™ is the framework Stratos Jets built so operator credentials, aircraft status, crew qualifications, and insurance are confirmed before a trip is finalized, on every flight, regardless of how or when you book.

Jaime adds a layer most brokers cannot: he has personally held the compliance role that framework is designed to enforce, so he is reading the same records a regulatory agency would.

What Risk-Managed Private Aviation™ Means

Risk-Managed Private Aviation™ is the framework Stratos Jets developed to put documented accountability into every charter arranged through the network. Most brokers work on assumption. This agency works on verification.

Operator credentials, aircraft status, crew qualifications, and insurance are confirmed before your trip is finalized — on every flight, regardless of how or when you book.

A higher standard of private jet charter, built on safety, transparency, and accountability.

Operator Standards

An ARGUS rating confirms an operator passed a third-party safety audit. The Jaime Forte Agency also pulls the operator's current FAA certificate standing and insurance coverage, the same review Jaime was accountable for as a Part 135 Director of Operations.

Crew and Maintenance Match

Before any aircraft is presented, the agency vets the operators, pilot qualifications, training recency, and maintenance records.

Aircraft Availability

Before your itinerary is finalized, we confirm the aircraft is physically present and mission ready, not simply marked available in a scheduling database.

FlightGuard™ Mechanical Recovery

If your booked aircraft cannot complete the mission, FlightGuard™ provides a defined financial benefit and a recovery aircraft, included on every flight we arrange.

Insurance Documentation

Every charter includes operator-issued insurance documentation naming Stratos Jets and its passengers on the certificate. We verify the assigned aircraft is under an active policy before departure.

$50M Supplemental Non-Owned Liability Policy

Most charter transactions rely solely on the operator's own insurance. Stratos adds a $50M supplemental non-owned liability policy to every flight coordinated through this agency.

A captain, not a call center

Meet Captain Jaime Forte

Captain Jaime Forte spent 20 years in the cockpit, logging more than 9,000 flight hours across 12 type ratings, first as a Part 121 airline captain and later as a Part 135 Director of Operations, the role responsible for an air carrier's FAA compliance, crew standards, and maintenance oversight. He holds a Master of Science in Aviation Operations Management, earned with High Distinction, the program's top academic honor, and worked directly with the FAA through the certification process, which is why he can review an operator's records and spot what doesn't add up rather than take a marketing claim at face value.

He founded The Jaime Forte Agency to put that judgment to work for charter clients directly, and to give every client the kind of attention a single advisor can give. Based in Ocala, he meets clients on the FBO ramp at KOCF before and after their trips, answers his own calls, and stays reachable if plans change mid-trip. You always know where your money goes and what it buys, including on the occasions when the honest answer is that booking with him isn't your best option. That standard holds whether it's a single leg to Orlando or a full season of WEC travel.
