1/ Most first-time buyers don’t lose money on the airplane.
They lose it on the structure around the airplane.

NetJets filed plans for a private terminal near Austin-Bergstrom. About $19.5 million, an 8,000 square foot terminal plus ramp, with construction aimed at early 2027 through mid-2028. They're also looking at a hangar and office campus at Dallas Love Field.
Fractionals are building their own ground stops. If you own the airplane, you still choose where it sits.

At BACE we are running two spots side by side.
One is Haven ASG. Charter, management, maintenance, FBO.
Next to it is the Flyin High Podcast studio. That is where we record while we are there.

AAR just agreed to buy 65% of MRO Holdings. About $1.8 billion in equity, announced last week. That's airline heavy maintenance, not business aviation, but it's the same pattern. The shops are getting bigger and fewer.
The question for an owner doesn't change with the size of the shop. When the airplane is down, who actually picks up the phone?

Pretty interesting. 900 birds out the door and still running 4-5 year backlogs. Barring some crazy economic swing if looks PJ world continues to have a bright future.

Another Gulfstream maintenance shop just joined a bigger MRO group. That's normal, and there's a lot of it right now, us included.
The owner's question doesn't change. When the airplane is down at 2am, who actually picks up the phone?

HIRING a new DO for our 10+ charter operation.
Large cabin and international ops experience needed.
Current or recent experience as a DO needed.
If interested please DM me or email [email protected]
The FAA recently proposed a $260,868 fine against a charter company. They allege two paid charter flights were flown after the company had already surrendered its Part 135 certificate.
That's an allegation, not a finding. It's still a good reminder for anyone booking charter. Ask who holds the certificate for your trip and ask to see it. A real operator will show you.

Original CitationJets can now get an FAA-approved all-Garmin panel. Textron got the approval for the first 359 airplanes built.
A lot of those owners like the airplane and aren't ready to step up. A current panel lets them keep flying what they have for a lot longer.

We will be at NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas Oct 20–22, booth 3575.
Right next to the Haven ASG booth is a Flyin High Podcast studio booth where we will be recording.
Come by either one.

Update on the older Citations. The FAA published the official notice, and it takes effect this Tuesday, Sep 29. If you have a single-pilot endorsement in a 500, 550, S550, 552 or 560, it's no longer valid. Those airplanes need a qualified second pilot starting Tuesday. The CJs and Mustang still aren't affected.
NBAA and Citation Jet Pilots are questioning the FAA's safety data, but for now the rule is the rule. Plan your crews accordingly.

This week I'm in Dallas for the Independent Falcon Aircraft Operators Association conference at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field. I'm speaking on two panels.
If you fly, own, or work on Falcons and you'll be there, come find me. I want to hear what's working in your operation and what isn't.

The FAA is pulling the single-pilot exemptions on older Citations. That covers the 500, 550, S550, 552 and 560 models: the V, Ultra, Bravo, Encore and Encore+. Once it's official, a single-pilot endorsement on those airplanes won't let you fly them solo anymore. You'll need a qualified second pilot. The CJs aren't affected.
If you own one of these and fly it yourself, start working on crew now. Happy to talk through options with anyone in that spot.
@HavenASG @flyinhighpod
The industry is consolidating. We are too.
Growing is the easy part to announce. Keeping the culture is harder once you add people and locations.
The local crew still has to know the customers. And someone on the ramp still has to be willing to say no when it is not right.

More groups are putting charter, management, and training in one place. It is not only the big coastal companies doing that.
Owners do not want five vendors. They want one group that knows the airplane and answers the phone.
That is what we are building.

Most AOG calls start before the actual call. There was already a squawk or a finding. Waiting is what makes it expensive.
