Normally, charter operators sell private charter flights by requesting their customers provide a conventional payment or retainer deposit. With cryptocurrency, however, things are changing rapidly.
Since 2006, Monarch Air Group has offered air charter services, long-term aircraft leases, and mission-critical logistics. The company serves large businesses, government agencies, the United Nations, the U.S. and Canadian defense departments, and the World Food Program in worldwide rescue, emergency relief, and humanitarian efforts.
In the words of David Gitman, Monarch Air Group’s CEO, the commitment is clear: “We take pride in being the go-to provider of air charter services for select individuals, government agencies, and prestigious corporations worldwide. They expect consistent top-notch performance, and we deliver.”
Online Charter Pricing Tool
According to Gitman, the recent surge in cryptocurrency transactions is a consequence and a strategic move. “The adoption of cryptocurrencies aligns seamlessly with the decline in private charter prices and the increasing trust in digital currencies,” the company says.

“The surge in cryptocurrency transactions reflects a broader digital transformation within luxury travel services.”
According to the company, in addition to accepting cryptocurrencies as a form of payment, Monarch Air Group has introduced a user-friendly pricing portal that simplifies and “redefines the booking process,” as noted by the company’s CEO.
According to Monarch Air Group, clients can now effortlessly receive instant price estimates for their private jet charters, marking a significant leap forward in efficiency and transparency.

Developed by a seasoned team of experts, this tool operates on a clear algorithm, offering users a rapid and accurate calculation of preliminary aircraft searches, including real-time estimations, without compromising privacy. “The absence of personal information requirements adds an extra layer of privacy that is uncommon in the digital tool landscape,” says the company.
While the charter flight cost calculator delivers close approximations, it excludes fees and taxes. However, Monarch Air Group ensures users have a general understanding of charter costs while comprehending the various factors shaping the final price.
According to the company, private jet charter costs are intricate and shaped by factors like aircraft type, flight itinerary, and passenger count. “Larger aircraft command higher fees due to maintenance needs, fuel consumption, and market demand,” says the company on its pricing tool. “Long-distance travel and additional services like VIP lounges and catering contribute significantly to the final cost.”
As the aviation industry becomes increasingly digital, Monarch Air Group remains at the forefront of private aviation. Their adoption of cryptocurrency and commitment to attaining excellence showcase a forward-thinking approach that keeps pace with industry changes and propels them into the forefront.

Westlake police say cryptocurrency scam cost woman over $5,000
WESTLAKE, Ohio – A convenience store clerk at 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 26 alerted a police dispatcher that a female customer was feeding large amounts of cash into a cryptocurrency ATM at the store on Center Ridge Road at Dover Center Road.
The clerk said the customer would not believe the clerk’s warning that she was being scammed.
Officers arrived to find the 71-year-old still “anxiously depositing” cash into the machine. Officers told her to stop, but she did not believe the uniformed men. The officers talked to her for several minutes before she finally believed that there was an issue. She was still on the phone with the scammer at the time.
The incident started that morning when the victim received a pop-up message on her home computer instructing her to call a provided support phone number due to a supposed issue with the computer’s operating system. She called the number and was connected to a man who claimed he was a representative from Apple, according to a police department press release.
The man talked her into allowing him remote access to her computer while he asked for her bank information. The scammer talked the victim into believing that there was a problem with her accounts, and she was at risk of losing $18,000 in connection with pornographic websites out of China or Mexico.
She was connected to a fake fraud department for her bank, and another scammer persuaded her to go to a bank and withdraw as much cash as they would allow. The scammer even told her to give the teller a story about needing cash to buy a car. The perpetrator kept the woman on the phone as she took out cash and traveled to the crypto ATM. The victim had deposited approximately $5,500 before officers persuaded her to stop. The Westlake Detective Bureau is attempting to recover the lost funds.
