Aircraft management
Aircraft management, under our permit
Owning an aircraft is straightforward. Operating one lawfully, safely and without wasting it is the part that takes an operator.
What management actually covers
A managed aircraft sits on our Non-Scheduled Operator Permit and is run by our operations department: dispatch, flight planning, clearances, crewing, training currency, duty-limit compliance and the regulatory reporting that goes with all of it. You keep the asset and the priority on it. We carry the operational and administrative weight, which is the part that quietly consumes an owner's week.
Most owners fly a fraction of the hours their fixed costs assume, so the second half of the arrangement is utilisation. When you are not using the aircraft it can earn on our permit, and the revenue is reported to you against the costs rather than netted off somewhere you cannot see. Owner movements always take priority; that is written in, not implied.
Terms are structured case by case. There is no standard management contract.
Aircraft management
Capabilities
Operational control
The aircraft runs on our permit, with our operations, dispatch and regulatory reporting behind it.
Crew and currency
Crewing, rostering, training currency and duty-limit compliance managed rather than monitored.
Maintenance oversight
Scheduled work planned against the manufacturer's programme, with defects tracked to closure.
Charter revenue
When you are not flying, the aircraft can earn on our permit. Utilisation reported monthly.
Where this support helps
When management makes sense
- A first aircraft, where an in-house flight department is premature.
- An owner flying under 200 hours a year with fixed costs regardless.
- An aircraft you would rather earn than idle between your own trips.
- A flight department that has outgrown the person now running it.
A clear, coordinated process
How it works
Review the aircraft
Type, age, records, current base and how you actually use it across a year.
Model the economics
Fixed and variable costs set out honestly, with any charter revenue shown separately.
Onto the permit
Registration, permit inclusion, manuals and crew, taken through the authority.
Run it
Flying, maintenance, crewing and reporting, with one monthly statement you can audit.
Safety & operational support
Assured on every flight
Transparent accounting
Every cost line traceable to an invoice. Nothing marked up quietly behind a fee.
Your aircraft first
Owner movements take priority over charter. That is written into the arrangement.
Four decades of records
The team that reviews records on a purchase keeps them once the aircraft is yours.
