Private aviation brings amazing travel freedom for aircraft owners. Whether for business, pleasure or both, easy access to a private aircraft puts people more in control of their demanding and fast-moving lifestyles.

​

But... aircraft ownership brings a bewildering number of challenging decisions that can have a significant effect on enjoyment, usefulness and cost.

 

From choosing the most appropriate type and specification of aircraft to match your needs and budget, evaluating how it should be managed, operated and maintained, where it should be based, what register it should be placed on

..... the questions are many.... and the pitfalls of making poor decisions are often harsh.    

 

FlyFive is not an aircraft management company, an aircraft operator or an aircraft maintenance organisation... but we do have significant experience in all these areas.  We also have no vested interested in any type of aircraft or manufacturer and we have no allegiance to any specific operator, management company or maintenance organisation.

 

Our role is to provide aircraft owners with the very best independent advice as and when it may may be required.

 

Aviation is highly regulated, but it is absolutely wrong to believe that stiff regulation means service levels are uniform across suppliers. Service providers must meet minimum standards set by regulators but, as in most industries, service levels, quality and value for money vary considerably.

 

FlyFive recommend that all private aircraft owners decide upon a clear strategy to guide all aspects of aircraft ownership.

 

This strategy should answer basic questions such as 'what do I need my aircraft to do', 'how many years will I need an aircraft for', 'what is my budget for purchase, fixed and variable costs and depreciation' and 'should I retain for private-use only or make available for charter'.

 

One size does not fit all and, whether you require a private jet, turboprop or helicopter for business, pleasure or both. A clear strategy will always help ensure the right decisions are made thereafter and help you avoid the many unpleasant surprises that FlyFive have witnessed over many years in this business.  

 

Whatever your need, FlyFive is here to help you make the best decision for you. We can normally assist with most requirements, but if you do need highly specialist advice such as finance, legal, taxation or import / export we have a wide network of specialists to call upon as and when required.
