Membership is $17,500 per year. Every charter flight is billed at the operator's wholesale cost plus a 5% management fee. The industry standard is 10 to 15%. On $400,000 in annual charter spend, that difference returns approximately $20,000 to $28,000 to you every year -- before the concierge is ever used.

RESPONSE TIME
Response Time
One advisor. Direct line. Your quote request is answered within 2 hours.
Three structural advantages available exclusively to Meridian members.
Access reserved exclusively for Meridian members.
Aviation Intelligence, Not a Booking Service
A single expert who has written the safety manuals, flown the aircraft, and negotiated the contracts. Not a call center. The person who built this company, available to you around the clock.
Transparent Wholesale Pricing
You see the operator cost. You see the 5% management fee. No hidden markups, no inflated quotes, no percentage taken from your charter spend beyond the disclosed fee.
Concierge Access for Members
Concierge access extended exclusively to Meridian members. Dining, accommodations, and experiences arranged through a private network.
The Math
Membership is $17,500 per year. No initiation fee. Charter flights are billed at wholesale operator cost plus a 5% management fee, replacing the standard industry markup of 10 to 15%. On $300,000 to $500,000 in annual charter spend, the savings over a traditional broker average $21,000 to $37,500. Trip protection is available on every flight at preferred member rates. The membership pays for itself before the concierge is ever used.

Two things no other broker can offer.
01
Aviation Intelligence
Not a call center. Not a booking platform. A single expert who has written the safety manuals, flown the aircraft, and negotiated the contracts. When your aircraft goes mechanical at 10pm before a morning departure, you are not calling a booking agent. You are calling the person who has been on the other side of that call.
02
Private Network
The Axon network is not a database. It is a curated group of relationships built over 15 years in the charter industry. Operators who answer the phone at 2am. Concierge partners who have placed clients in suites that do not officially exist. Access that cannot be purchased on a platform.
"I put my name on every booking. Not a platform. Not a call center. Me. If something goes wrong, you call me. If something goes right, I want to hear that too. That is what it means to be a Meridian member."

Entrepreneurs

Professional Athletes

I have used three different brokers over the past six years. The difference with Axon is that I never have to think about it. My preferences are known, the aircraft is right, and if anything changes I hear about it before it becomes a problem. That is worth far more than the membership fee.
