I was wondering if there are any people who have in the past owned a flight business or are currently owners, or are planning on being.
I am considering getting an MBA and starting my own flight business as one of the options after graduation form college.
The plan would be to start small, and grow. The services would most probably involve charter/air taxi and sightseeing operations with 6 seater (used) singles or twin pistons.
Perhaps 2 or 3 airplanes to start with, then as you make money, expand to perhaps turbine airplanes, and more airplanes, newer equipment, bigger staff. Most probably start at a public airport, or have your own strip (depending on which is more economical).
Anyone with experience/knowledge with flight business ownership, I would appreciate your input.
I personally prefer to fly small piston or turbine airplanes, rather than large heavy jets, yet flying small airplanes can't get you a good living usually, so being owner of a flight business would allow you to perhaps be one of the pilots, as well as make good money.
