Unfortunately - for A-A operators - the grant of the AOC still requires as many bureaucratic hurdles and associated costs as most other AOCs. It's a total nightmare and as one who held one I can confirm that the rigours and costs of the admin will more than devour any possible profits. That's why so few are presently held.
The "way round" this is for a flying training organisation to offer trial lessons / air experience flights with the Instructor in command.....
