Frequently Asked Questions About Private Jet Management
What does a private jet management company do?
A private jet management company handles the day-to-day operations of your aircraft. This includes hiring and training crew, scheduling flights, handling maintenance (both scheduled and unscheduled), ensuring regulatory compliance, and managing finances such as hangar fees and fuel costs.
How can I offset the costs of owning a private jet?
Through our business jet management programs, you can place your aircraft on our Part 135 charter certificate. When you are not using the aircraft, we can charter it to our extensive network of vetted clients, generating revenue that significantly offsets your ownership expenses.
Why is Sun Air Jets different from other private jet management companies?
We prioritize safety and transparency above all else. With our in-house maintenance capabilities and 24/7 support at our Van Nuys and Camarillo facilities, we reduce downtime and eliminate hidden markups. Our accreditations (IS-BAO Stage 3, ARGUS Platinum Elite) place us in the top tier of safety operators worldwide.
Do you provide management services for corporate fleets?
Yes. Our corporate jet management solutions are designed to assist corporations in maximizing the efficiency of their flight departments. We handle the logistics and operational burdens, allowing your team to focus on their business.
