An aircraft management company oversees the day to day operation of a privately owned business jet on behalf of the owner, handling everything from compliance and staffing to maintenance and charter revenue.

At its core, the role is to ensure the aircraft is operated safely and efficiently under regulations set by authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration. This includes hiring and managing pilots and cabin crew, scheduling flights and maintaining operational standards.

Maintenance management is another key function. The company coordinates inspections, repairs and OEM support programmes to keep the aircraft airworthy and protect its long term value.

Many management companies also place aircraft on a Part 135 certificate, allowing owners to generate charter revenue when the aircraft is not in use. They handle sales, marketing and client coordination for these charter flights.

Ultimately, an aircraft management company allows owners to benefit from private aviation without the complexity of running an operation themselves.
