Should You Own the Charter Company Too?

Thinking about buying a turbine aircraft? Consider owning the charter company too. Establishing your own FAA-certified Part 135 air charter operation lets owners offset fixed costs like crew, maintenance, and insurance through charter revenue, while keeping personal assets legally separate from operational liability. It's not the right fit for everyone, but for buyers seeking operational control and a long-term cost-recovery strategy, it can transform an aircraft purchase into a revenue-generating business.
