Charter Advisory
Charter That Pays.
Without Wearing Down Your Asset.
Putting your aircraft on charter can offset ownership costs, or quietly burn through it. Curt structures charter around your mission, your safety standards, and your bottom line.
The Problem
The Hidden Cost
of Charter.
Charter looks simple on a revenue sheet. The real cost shows up in fees, wear, and risk.
Revenue That Doesn't Show Up
Management fees, repositioning, and crew costs eat the yield you were promised.
An Asset Being Burned
High utilization and deferred maintenance wear down the aircraft you'll eventually sell.
Safety You Can't Verify
Part 135 operators vary widely. Most owners have no way to audit what's really happening.
The Solution
Charter on
Your Terms.
Whether you're earning on your aircraft or flying charter yourself, Curt makes sure the operator answers to you.
Part 135 Strategy
Decide whether charter fits your aircraft, mission, and tax position.
Revenue Modeling
Realistic yield projections, built from operating data instead of sales decks.
Operator Vetting
Safety culture audits, policy review, and maintenance discipline checks.
Management Structure
Contract terms and fee structures that keep incentives aligned.
Utilization Guardrails
Limits that protect your availability, your asset, and its resale value.
Ongoing Owner Advocacy
Someone in your corner every month, not just at signing.
How This Is Different
Charter Arranged by
Someone Who's Flown It.
Most charter quotes come from someone reading availability off a screen, selling the cheapest tail that technically fits the route.
Curt books a charter the way he'd flight-plan it, because that's the job he does the rest of the week.
That's how you avoid a Part 135 operator with a thin safety record, an aircraft that can't make the leg without a fuel stop, and a crew timing out on the return.Mission Analysis
Runway length at both ends, hot-and-high performance, real payload with your passengers and bags, and whether you're nonstop or facing a fuel stop nobody quoted.
Operator Vetting
Certificate status, safety audit ratings, insurance limits, and fleet condition. The specific tail and crew, not just the logo.
Straight Pricing
Occupied hourly, repositioning, overnights, fees, catering, de-ice, and taxes. No line items after you've committed.
The Details
Ground transportation, FBO selection, catering, pets, and the odd requests. If it can be arranged, it will be.
Empty Legs
Fly the Repositioning
at a Fraction of the Rate.
When an aircraft repositions without passengers, the flight happens regardless. Empty legs are short-notice by nature, so if your schedule is flexible, get on the list and opportunities come straight to you.
