Purchasing an aircraft through operational ownership or managed ownership and choosing your aircraft

Every completed decision in aviation seems to spawn dozens more. Once you’ve decided purchasing an aircraft makes sense for your business you’re faced with deciding which aircraft best meets your needs.

Citation by Cessna, Learjet from Bombardier, Hawker by Raytheon, Falcon by Dassault, Gulfstream by General Dynamics are all outstanding aircraft. But not every one is right for your business. Tandava Aviation helps you identify the factors that will result in a satisfactory decision.

We also offer consultation on deciding between operational ownership (that gives you full control of the aircraft) and managed ownership (in which the responsibility for flying and perhaps managing the aircraft are outsourced or shared.) The charts below give you an example of the factors we’ll analyze on your behalf.

The matrix below presents an overall look at the most significant factors which should be examined in your decision process and reveals the level of control within each factor.
