Family Offices are increasingly involved in structuring and managing the ownership of private aircraft for business and personal travel. Many are quickly realizing that owning aircraft can bring myriad complexities which, if not handled properly, can have costly consequences. Unless a Family Office has the in-house expertise required to structure and manage owned aircraft, the best option is to work with outside experts.
The operational magnitude of managing owned aircraft can outweigh the convenience and luxury of owning a jet. From safety regulations, FAA certifications, and investment in avionics (such as ADS-B), to understanding tax implications, vetting pilots and hiring maintenance crew, aircraft ownership requires full-time attention.
Aircraft are expensive assets. Working with an aircraft management consultancy can help maximize and preserve aircraft value, provide fiscal oversight, establish infrastructure and staffing, oversee regulatory and safety requirements and generate revenue through private jet charter.
An aircraft management consultancy can help with:
- Usage and succession planning
- Fiscal oversight and tax planning
- Revenue generation through private charter
- Vetting and hiring pilots and crew
- Maintenance and safety inspections
- Administrative and operational functions
- Regulatory compliance
- Hangar management
- Insurance coverage
