As aircraft owners ourselves, we understand what you want and most importantly, what you need.

Charter revenue

We offer reasonable charter revenue income to assist in the offset of fixed costs associated with operating aircraft.

Crewing

Our crews are highly competent, well motivated, service orientated pilots who treat your aircraft like it's theirs. We hold the very highest level of Civil Aviation Safety Authority approvals for charter operation of class 'A' (Transport category, or airliner type aircraft) aircraft, and are required to operate to public transport standards. This involves checking of all pilots to these high standards, at regular intervals. Even if you fly yourself, the added safety and comfort of being part of such a supervised operation will add considerably to the quality of your aviation experience.

Maintenance Management

Our aircraft require fastidious, high standard maintenance procedures, management and control. Our skilled personnel provide supervision and regulatory compliance on all maintenance carried out on aircraft under our maintenance control.
