135 Certificate Holder

[flybtp]

Our Boss wants to put our Citation V on a charter certificate (not thrilled about it). I'm looking for recommendations on who are good certificate holders to put the plane on with. We are in KLAS. Thanks for any input.

Find a copy of the agreement he'll have to sign surrendering most of his operational control and maybe he'll have second thoughts......

Read FAR Part 135-A008. Its not that simple anymore. For starters you will have to "work for" and be paid by the certificate holder.

You may want to have your boss talk to an owner that has operated on and off a 135 certificate. The certificate can generate cash flow, however, the reduced value of the aircraft and all the compliance costs will most likely make the project a loser in the end. If there is anyone out there with an owner that is thrilled with their management company, speak up...

Jet Aviation has quite the reputable management team. They use New World Jet for their charter clients. Let me know if you have any part time crewing needs.

You might check with Executive Jet Management, EJM, in Cincinatti, OH. I know of a company in South Louisiana that has a Bravo with them and seem pretty pleased with how things are going.

Not Aspen Executive Jet and not Sentient....JetSelect might not be a bad company at all...especially if your owner is looking for charter income. However, they don't have any Citations right now, but they have several 1 type only types. Let me know and I can get you in contact with the right person. EJM isn't a bad idea either. They will more than likely keep you flying. If you guys are only looking for 15-20 hours of supplemental lift, then EJM might not be the best fit. As for Jet Aviation, well I recently heard that they put 15 of their aircraft on somebody else's certificate. By heard, I mean I know exactly where they are as of 15 days ago when this all happened. I think they are trying to avoid a TAG type situation.

As far as I know, Jet Aviation has never had a 135 certificate. All Jet-managed charter aircraft are operated on New World Jet's certificate.

Jet Aviation has never owned a Part 135 certificate as they are not deemed US citizens. The are 100% foreign owned and tried to obtain a new certificate with a US partner a few months ago but the FAA and DOT shot them down. They are apparently being closely watched by the FAA and are having a very difficult time meeting A008 requirements. Any foreign owned mgmt company will go the way of TAG if the FAA has their say.

New World Jet was sold to FirstFlight recently.

I'll second the JetSelect recommendation - best "Pro": great people running the show (CP, DO, Dispatchers). Worst "Con"...haven't heard anything bad really.

Just because you are in LAS means nothing. The location of your certificate holder really only matters if they don't have a "presence" in your area. An airplane based in NV, but managed out of OH, can get charter...as long as the certificate holder has the ability to get charter in your area.

JetSelect seems to get most of its biz from other 135 outfits with business nationwide.

Good Luck...the comments above about liability and "wear & tear" should be passed on to your boss. It aint worth it for a few measly $1000 greenbacks.

You might talk to Eagle Jet Aviation, right there at KLAS. They're using other leaseback and managed airplanes to do the same thing.
