Aviation Asset Management

Your aircraft requires the same level of management as any other capital asset. But unlike your other capital assets, its unique requirements mandate not only financial oversight, but also management of regulatory, operational, and safety issues. Because this capital asset doesn’t build or manufacture products – it transports you, your executives, family, and friends at 500 miles per hour, 41,000 feet above sea level, flying direct routes to more than 5,000 airports worldwide – many far from maintenance and ground service support.
That requires you to make a series of complex decisions even before buying an aircraft or a fractional share. Beginning with analyzing your travel requirements, Business Jet Advisor helps you decide whether chartering or acquiring a fractional or whole aircraft – or some combination – is the best solution for your unique needs.
For a fractional, you’ll need to decide:

  • Which operator has the aircraft fleet that best meets your travel requirements,
  • What size share to buy, and
  • Whether to buy a new or used aircraft share.

For whole aircraft, such decisions can include :

  • Selecting make and model,
  • Buying new or pre-owned,
  • Buying factory-direct or from an independent broker,
  • Establishing an independent flight department or using a professional management company, and
  • Flying only for you, the owner, or allowing outside charter to generate offsetting revenue.

When you charter, you will need to know:

  • How to find a reliable operator
  • Why price is never the most important consideration
