In the U.S., there are no FAA age limits for pilots except for commercial airline pilots employed by airlines certificated under 14 CFR Part 121. These airlines cannot employ pilots after they reach the age of 65. However, these pilots may stay on with a Part 121 carrier in some other role, such as flight engineer.

Statutory retirement age of 65. ? Operations under FAR Part 135 have no upper age limit.

A charter flight is a flight in an aircraft in which all the seats are paid for by a travel company and then sold to their customers, usually at a lower cost than that of a scheduled flight. American English: charter flight /?t??rt?r ?fla?t/

Charter operation means an operation for hire and reward in which the departure time, departure location and arrival locations are specially negotiated and agreed with the customer or the customer's representative for entire aircraft. No ticket is sold to individual passenger for such operation.

If you charter from the airline directly, the plane will be just the same as normal ? except that the crew are dedicated to looking after you and your buddies alone. You'll also likely benefit from priority security screening and other perks to make the journey smoother.

The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) grants the authority to operate on-demand, unscheduled air service in the form of Part 135 certificate.
