You can, and it usually works against you. Several brokers approach the same small pool of operators for the same trip, the operator sees the request three times, and it starts to look shopped. Requests that look shopped get quoted less keenly, or deprioritised.
The operator pool suitable for any given trip is smaller than it looks. On a specific route with a specific date and aircraft size, it may be a handful of operators. If three brokers each call the same five operators, those operators receive the same request repeatedly and learn that whatever they quote is being shopped rather than sold.
The practical effects are consistent: slower responses, less flexibility on price, and sometimes no response at all on a busy day when the operator has better-qualified requests to work.
Wanting a second opinion on a price is entirely reasonable, particularly on a first trip. The problem is the method, not the motive.
If a broker has been slow, evasive about who operates the aircraft, or cannot cover the routing, go elsewhere. Moving on is not the same as running three in parallel.
Usually, yes. The pool of operators suitable for a specific route, date and aircraft size is small, so the same request arriving from several brokers is visible to them almost immediately.
Compare it against a published indicative price for the route, ask how many operators were approached and what the spread was, and ask for the aircraft type and registration so you know what you are being quoted for.
It is a fair question. On a brokered charter the broker buys from the operator and sells to you, so the margin sits inside the price. What matters is whether the final number is competitive for the aircraft you are getting.
Send the route, the date and the number of passengers. We check operators with aircraft near either end and come back with named options and a price.
