Starting an air charter company
Hi,
Im very interested in starting up a small air charter company operating maybe a Navajo or King Air depending on the costs. I already have potential customers lined up if i decide to go ahead.
As I am at the very early stages of planning i was wondering about costs.
How much as a ball park figure would it cost to setup as a single aircraft Charter company? Something like a Navajo ( ie at least 4-5 people plus light baggage). What are the other costs like AOC, maitainence, Insurance etc. How much could you charge per flying hour?
What other aircraft would be suitable, I believe the Navajo is pretty ancient?
Would I have to buy the aircraft or are there options hire purchase, lease etc?
Sorry for all the questions
Thanks very much
