features
that can make a big difference in your flight experience.
Some aircraft charters offer 'bare-bones' service, while
others provide a mix of services such as a dedicated dispatch
team, real-time flight monitoring, catering arrangements,
coordination of fuel purchases, hotel and rental car reservations,
limousine rentals, customs permits and landing clearances
for international flights, and even security for you and
the aircraft.
Aircraft
charter management services
If you own your own aircraft or are looking into purchasing
one, you will need to find an aircraft charter to provide
maintenance and fuel. In addition, if you are considering
renting your aircraft to other users for revenue, many
aircraft charters will provide various management services
for you.
When
considering or hiring an aircraft charter for maintenance
on your aircraft, confirm that they have the expertise
and licensing required for working on your specific model
of aircraft and/or avionics. In addition, find out if
the aircraft charter belongs to any discount fuel programs
that could end up saving you on fuel costs. Some aircraft
charters can also provide a wide range of regulatory compliance
documentation, such as minimum equipment lists, training
and operations manuals, and RVSM compliance documents.
Besides
performing maintenance on your aircraft and providing
fueling services, many aircraft charters will provide
management services for you in leasing your aircraft to
other customers to earn revenue. Just like rental property
management, these aircraft charters offer a wide range
of benefits to you. In addition to the management of the
aircraft, charter companies will typically provide oversight,
personnel administration, accounting and reporting, maintenance
administration, scheduling and dispatch, itineraries,
flight logs and record keeping, and general and administrative
labor costs. You'll also have the chance to receive substantial
insurance savings.
The
better aircraft charters provide a monthly statement showing
the aircraft's charter flight hours, and other essential
data for the preceding calendar month. They will be responsible
for billing and obtaining payment from charter customers
that are placed on your aircraft. All sums due for the
charter are usually guaranteed by aircraft charter, and
paid within thirty days of the end of the month during
which the charter was flown. The aircraft charter should
collect and pay all sales tax, use tax or excise tax imposed
by any governmental authority in connection with any charter.
