Aircraft management, explained.
Your aircraft, your operation, your questions. A clearer view of the support available.
What does aircraft management include?
Aircraft management brings together the services needed to support aircraft ownership and day-to-day operations. Depending on the agreed scope, this may include flight planning, crew coordination, maintenance oversight, regulatory support, budgeting and reporting.
With essential.aero, these services can be combined into a comprehensive arrangement or selected individually.
Can I use individual aircraft management services?
Yes. You can engage essential.aero for a specific project or selected areas of ongoing support. This might involve operational documentation, maintenance coordination or crew management.
We define the responsibilities and scope with you, so the support fits your aircraft and requirements.
Can I keep my existing crew?
Yes. We can work with your existing pilots and cabin crew. Together, we agree how responsibilities are shared and where additional management or operational support is needed.
How much does aircraft management cost?
The cost depends on the aircraft, its operating profile and the services required. A defined project has a different scope from ongoing, comprehensive management.
Tell us about your aircraft, anticipated use and existing arrangements so we can discuss an appropriate scope and quotation.
How are maintenance and aircraft downtime managed?
Maintenance planning needs to account for the aircraft’s technical requirements and your intended flying schedule. Our maintenance coordination services include liaison with approved facilities and support with scheduled and unscheduled work.
The timing and duration of maintenance depend on the required tasks, findings, parts and facility availability.
How do I get started?
Start with your aircraft type, current base and a brief description of the support you need. Let us know how the aircraft is used, whether you have an existing crew and which arrangements you would like to retain.
We can then discuss responsibilities, priorities and the next steps towards an agreed management scope.
