Owning an Aircraft, Effortlessly

The Value Proposition of Aircraft Management Services

Benefits Aircraft Management Companies Offer:

• Safety and Regulatory Compliance: Management companies ensure the aircraft is maintained to the highest safety standards and complies with all relevant aviation regulations (FAA, EASA, etc.). This includes scheduling and overseeing regular maintenance, inspections, and airworthiness directives.
• Crew Management: They handle all aspects of crew management, including hiring, training, scheduling, and ensuring crew currency and qualifications. This saves the owner significant time and administrative effort.
• Maintenance and Repairs: Management companies have established relationships with maintenance facilities and can often negotiate better rates for maintenance, repairs, and parts. They also oversee the work to ensure quality and efficiency.
• Operational Efficiency: They optimize flight scheduling, fuel purchasing, and route planning to minimize operational costs and maximize aircraft availability.
• Charter Revenue Generation: For owners interested in offsetting ownership costs, management companies can market and manage the aircraft for charter, generating revenue when the owner is not using it. They handle all aspects of charter operations, including booking, billing, and passenger logistics.
• Insurance and Legal Expertise: They can assist with securing appropriate aircraft insurance coverage at competitive rates and provide guidance on legal and regulatory matters related to aircraft ownership and operation.
• Administrative Burden Reduction: Management companies handle a significant amount of administrative tasks, such as record-keeping, flight logs, expense tracking, and bill payment, freeing up the owner’s time.
• Negotiating Power: Their experience and volume purchasing power can often lead to better deals on fuel, insurance, maintenance, and other services compared to what an individual owner might obtain.
• Aircraft Resale Assistance: When the owner decides to sell the aircraft, the management company can leverage its industry connections and expertise to facilitate a smooth and potentially more profitable sale.
• Expertise and Experience: Owners benefit from the management company’s in-depth knowledge of the aviation industry, best practices, and potential pitfalls, leading to more informed decisions and a smoother ownership experience.
