Aircraft Sales & Asset Management

Most successful businesses depend on efficient travel for their executives and senior management, and many have turned to owning and operating their own aircraft as an alternative to using the airlines. Corporate aircraft can operate out of smaller airports much closer to origin and final destination and have dedicated VIP facilities allowing executives to be driven straight to their waiting aircraft and to be met in a similar fashion at their destination.

As attractive as this is, many businesses feel they are too small to justify sole ownership of an aircraft, and also hesitate to commit the additional resources needed to manage them. Whilst the idea may be enticing, the cost and organisational hurdles put many companies off.

ABA has introduced an affordable fractional ownership programme allowing smaller companies and affluent individuals to access executive air travel at a cost and with a management package virtually impossible to better. The aircraft are flown and managed by World Executive Aviation to the strictest standards. Please refer to the Professional Flight Operations section for more information

AirShare Entry-level Programme

Based on a cabin-class PA31 Chieftain, an aircraft capable of reaching most European destinations in fast comfort:

• Shares sold in blocks of 12.5% for £25,000 - £30,000 (maximum shareholding is 75%) and must be held for 5 years when they can be sold at present market value.
• Each share entitles the owner to 40 days use of the aircraft or similar aircraft in the programme.
• Rostering & Scheduling – assurance the aircraft is serviceable, in the desired place, at the desired time, with a crew having the necessary duty hours
• Annual management fee per share is £1,000 per month payable monthly in advance.
• Fractional owners fly at direct cost +15% and Air Share guarantees costs – there are few, if any, more competitive packages.
• Aircraft based at Lydd and/or Le Touquet airports but can be positioned anywhere within Europe.

The typical fractional owner acquires a 25% share, providing 80 days of availability per year and an annual management fee of £24,000, which is an ideal and affordable solution for smaller companies having travel needs from Southeast England to other parts of the UK and Europe.
