Acquire a Part 135 Air Charter Company for Large-Jet Operations

What You Want

When a business jet is placed with a charter operator, the owner gives up some control over an important and expensive asset. A well-structured Part 135 operation can give that control back to the owner.

• Protect your aircraft. Control utilization, maintenance, cabin condition, and the wear that can affect appearance, reliability, and residual value.
• Keep scheduling priority. Use your aircraft when you need it without competing with charter trips accepted by another operator.
• Know where the money goes. Receive clear accounting for aircraft expenses, charter revenue, maintenance, crew costs, and each trip.
• Improve the economics of ownership. Use charter revenue to offset fixed and operating costs while measuring the actual financial benefit to the aircraft owner.
• Control maintenance and downtime. Make maintenance decisions that balance safety, reliability, cost, aircraft availability, and long-term asset value.
• Choose and develop your people. Select qualified managers, pilots, and maintenance personnel and train them to your standards.
• Control the service experience. Establish the operating standards, cabin presentation, crew performance, and level of service that you and your clients expect.
• Manage regulatory exposure. Operate with defined responsibility for safety, FAA compliance, maintenance, training, records, and operational control.

USAC can help you create an air charter operation that protects the aircraft, supports the owner, serves clients well, and provides a foundation for growth.
