Owning your own aircraft is a special, albeit complicated experience. At Priester, we make it simple. You will enjoy having your own personalized flight department while we handle the complexities. We build your team starting with flight department leadership, then supervise and support them with industry-leading technology, systems, processes, and procedure. The choreography that happens behind the scenes results in a smooth, safe, operationally efficient, and cost-efficient flight department.
With in-house expertise, we are able to control logistics with greater efficiency. We also partner with a top global logistics provider to assist in international planning, providing our clients a higher standard of support when traveling around the world.
Flight crews play a significant part in the safe operation of your aircraft. We can conduct a thorough search for crew members that not only have the proper experience in a specific type of aircraft, but also have good decision-making skills and exceptional customer service. Given our global reach, Priester is able to select from the top candidates. With the rigor demanded by our safety culture, crews attend full-motion simulator training from leaders, such as FlightSafety International and other providers to continue flight education.
Understanding, monitoring, forecasting, tracking and managing the financial aspect associated with business aircraft is no small task. Our accounting team oversees every expense, managing your aircraft to the highest standard. Each month, we present a detailed summary package of your aircraft’s complete financial performance.
Maintenance oversight is vitally important to the quality and consistent operation of your aircraft. Practical application of experience and knowledge by a qualified, dedicated team is essential. We have developed a four-step Operational Control Verification Form (OCVF) that confirms the proper safety checks have been performed prior to every trip.
For aircraft owners who already employ administrative expertise to manage their aircraft, Priester has developed charter management services to reduce the cost of aircraft ownership. In this option, Priester provides charter opportunities, even if you don’t need full management. This service allows you to add your aircraft to Priester Aviation’s FAA Part 135 worldwide charter certification and maximize your return by generating revenue when your aircraft isn’t being utilized.
Priester’s Flight Support option is designed to complement existing flight operations by strengthening administrative support and leveraging Priester’s fleet purchasing power. Lower fuel or insurance costs by being part of a larger fleet with our Part 91 management.
Our processes and procedures allow us to manage aircraft all over the globe. Theoretically, your aircraft will only be at its home base 50% of the time when in use. We coordinate and monitor each flight 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Should a problem arise, we will work with our network of partners to address any needs while you are traveling.
Yes, we manage both Parts 91 and 135 aircraft. Our business model is not dependent upon charter revenue.
You call the shots. We will work to customize the right balance of charter and owner hours. Your access takes priority over any charter opportunities.
Absolutely. We will customize the program around your needs. You may only require crewing or maintenance support. We can address the specific aircraft management requirements you have without getting services you don’t require.
