Why should you use an aircraft management company instead of maintaining an in-house flight department?

One of several reasons is cost. The cost of owning, operating, and maintaining an aircraft can be daunting; especially when you factor in the cost of hangarage, crew, mechanics, and dispatch. When using an aircraft management company you gain access to their resources which can include considerable savings in fuel, insurance, training, and employee wages.

Another reason to have your aircraft managed by an aircraft management company is liability. When you have your aircraft managed by professionals, you gain the advantage of shelter from liability. If your aircraft is managed by an independent management company, said company incurs most liabilities related to your aircraft, instead of the corporation or owner.

Finally, the most important reason to use an aircraft management company is expertise. When your aircraft is managed by professionals, you can have the peace of mind knowing that all foreign and domestic regulations and codes are being met and that your asset is being handled with the highest levels of safety and service in mind.
