Many years of experience in the European and International business aviation market have allowed the Company’s management to create the most effective model for the operation of business aviation aircraft. This operating model includes a whole range of services combined in a different system way which allows you to achieve almost ideal conditions for the operation under your requirements.
The Form of Aicraft Operation
There are two main types of business aircraft operation: commercial and private. Commercial operation of a business aircraft allows you not only to fly for the Owner, but also to sell charter flights to the third parties in order to make a profit to cover the operating costs of the flights Owner’s. Private operation involves flights perfomed exclusively by the Owner and his close associates. Private operation of aircraft can also be carried out either as part of commercial operation (a company licened to carry out commercial air transport), or by management company that assumes responsibility for controlling the operation and organising all necessary procedures related to the operation of the aircraft. Registration in the aviation register like such as the Isle of Man or San Marino for private flights removes a number of restrictions and requirements that are simply necessary for the commercial operation, which allows you to significantly reduce the costs of aviation personnel, annual certification of the airline, aircraft maintenance, etc. The registration procedure in the listed aviation registers does not take a long time and the costs are much lower than the registration in commercial operation or in registers of the European, while at in the same time providing a high level of safety.
The Base airport of the Aircraft
An important issue is the choice of the aircraft base airport of the for the operational availability of the Owner or his representatives to perform flights. BJET has experience and is able to carry out all the necessary procedures for the organisation of aircraft basing in almost all airports of Asia air hub, as well as in the European Union. At the Owner’s request, it is possible to organise parking of aircraft in heated hangars. The company’s engineers can perform aircraft maintenance at the base airport (interior cleaning, draining and refilling of fluids and water, preparation of aircraft for flight, etc.), engineering specialists can perform a number of technical works, repair or periodic inspection of the aircraft directly the parking place. The сompany administrative staff handles all contractual and payment relations with the base’s administration airport on behalf of the Owner, in order to reduce operartional costs and obtain a number of benefits. If the aircraft is to be parked outside the base airport for a long or period of time, the company’s specialists will supervise and carry out the longtern parking procedure directly at the transit airport to in out avoid additional costs for ferry flights.
Optimization and centralization of all operating costs in transit airports
BJET offers an existing tool for optimisation and control of all cost and the timely payment of all services. This tool consist of various aviation payment cards recognised by a large number of airports. The scheme of operation of this system is simple and very effective — when planning a flight to the airport, the company’s specialist contacts and finds out the most preferred agent for providing services at the airport, the crew gives a payment card as payment before departure and all invoices are sent to the company issuing the card, and the company also pays for all services. At the end of the reporting period (week, month), this company issues a consolidated report and a joint invoice, which is paid by the owner. The uniqueness and advantages of this system allow for the prompt pay ment of all service invoices at transit airports, as well as have objective control and a clear understanding of all upcoming expenses. An additional advantage is the availability of discounts on the card service at a number of airports, allowing you to significantly optimise your operating costs.
Aircraft Maintenance Organization
The organisation of aircraft maintenance in Europe and abroad, consist of various technical support of the aircraft to avoid any AOG (aircraft on ground) situation, increase level of safety and maintenance cost control. Our way of technical supervision — the use of attached engineers who are fully responsible for the technical condition of the aircraft. The engineer keeps all the documentation of the aircraft, performs line maintenance at the base airport, as well as when performing heavy (periodic) technical forms, he is present at the technical center and personally monitors the work, the cost of spare parts and consumables. This form of aircraft maintenance allows you to reduce maintenance costs by 15-25 %, compared to operating without an engineer. At the same time the level of safety increases and the number of AOG situations decreases, which protects the owner for situations when he/she cannot fly.
Flight personnel
An important part of the operation is the flight crew, qualified pilots who are able to fly professionally and safely anywhere in the world. Solid experience in the business aviation market has allowed BJET to build a solid database of CVS of the best pilots in Europe. If necessary, the company’s specialists can arrange retraining of flight personnel in leading aviation training centre in Europe, the USA or Canada. When carring out flights in the interests of the Owner, it is necessary and important to trust the pilots who hold your life in their hands. Our crew is a guarantee of safety, loyalty and confidentiality. The selection and training of the flight attendants is also carried out directly with the Owner, since the passenger has to communicate directly with this employee during the flight, and mutual sympathy is very important here. All flight attendants are selected with a good and longstanding reputation in business aviation. BJET pays great attention to the professional training of the flight attendants who are an integral part of the flight crew and are responsible for the safety and security of the passengers in the event of an emergency.
Aircraft Insurance
The experience of working with leading insurance companies in Europe has allowed BJET to obtain premium contracts in many insurance cases, which significantly reducing the cost of operationing and increasing aircraft protection againts any additional costs of aircraft repair after damage.
Organisation of Aircraft Operation
BJET offers professional management services for business aircraft. Most of the services can be summarised under one definition — operational management, which includes planning the optimal use of the aircraft, taking into account the owner’s plans, maintenance periods and flights carried out in the interest of third parties. A team of professional managers accompanies the flight from the moment the request is recieved until the end of the flight. All the stages of receiving the request, calculating the costs, requesting and obtaining the air navigation permits, submitting and passing through all the communication channels of the flight plan, ordering and autorising the airport services at the departure and destination airports, delivering the crew on board, technical preparation of the aircraft for departure, delivery of who in the flight meals according to an personalises menu, meeting the main passenger, carring out the flight, meeting and organising the accommodation of the crew these stages are tracked down to the minute and at any given every moment everyone in the company staff what exactly has been done, and what still needs to be done, and most importantly, the timing of each stages. Only with such a system can the most efficient operation of the aircraft be achieved so that that the customer always receives the same high level service.
Accounting for Aircraft operations
As a management company, BJET maintains separate accounting records for each of the aircraft under management, reflecting all financial activities directly or indirectly related to the operation of the aircraft. The Finance Department receives all invoices, analyses them, adds them to the general database, and analyses them for validity, cost validity, and statistics. At the end of the reporting period, the Owner receives a full report of all expenses related to the operation of the aircraft, accompanied by all invoices and other documents supporting the expenses. At any time, the complete financial statements can be made available to the Owner or his representatives for audit and verification of compliance with supporting documents (copies of receipts, invoices, statements, etc.). Statistical reports allow you to analyse the company’s activities and all expenses from any sides and in any context. If you wish, you can obtain complete a analysis of the operation for a year, six months, or a month, analyse direct and fixed costs, calculate the average cost of flight hours according to the average annual flight, or see the cost of a specifie flight. You can also analyse expense statistics by groups of expense categories (how much was spent on fuel, catering, etc.), identify the most expensive and least expensive items, etc. The main purpose ot the company’s finansial statement is to ensure full transporency of aircraft operations and to provide the owner with an objective picture of analysis and planning for future periods.
