Small operators

[nclpilot]

Hi

Can anyone point me in the direction of small charter/executive jet operators?
Specifically, I am looking for sub 15-pax aircraft.

Thanks in advance

Tell me a little more what your after and I can point you in the right direction.

Afghanistan or New Guinea :confused:

[nclpilot]

I am looking for UK based operators whom offer chartering for between 4 - 15 pax.
Location is not important but I would prefer operators based around the MAN, BHX and LGW area.

Cheers

[J32/41]

The below are in that area not just at the stated airports:

Manchester:
AD Aviation
Centreline Air Charter
Northern Executive


Birmingham:
Air Taxis Ltd
Eurojet Aviation

Hope that helps a little.

Unique Air. New starter out of Cardiff.

Unique Air. New starter out of Cardiff.

Oh, I forgot about them, I hear they are getting:

Cessna 340's
Citation x 2
No doubt the Global's and Falcon's will be on there way.

:ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

[Awyrennwr]

Uniqueair are actually Swansea based. (And still have no AOC or Aircraft!)

If you want a Cardiff based operator try DragonFly.
They have 2 King Air 200's, one 8 seat and one 7 seat.

[sportflyer]

how can they fly with no aircraft ! bet there fuel bills are low !:D

[unablereqnavperf]

Also Gama Aviation at Farnborough
Hawkers, Challengers, Gulfstreams, Lear 45 and King Airs.

FYI

Centreline do not have anything in Manch. Kingairs in SEN and BRS, CJ in BRS (about 3 weeks away) and Senecas in BFS, CVT and BRS.

Also adding

Air Charter Scotland have 3 Cessna 525 CJ1's l believe, 1 in EDI and the other 2 in Luton.

[lisa humphries]

And of course there is always Capital at Exeter with 2 king air 200's and various piston aircraft including a C404.:)

[SkyTrax2]

Pistons

Who wants pistons, so yesterday, even the King Air work will die away and soon enough the VLJ's will take over, thats when the really small operators will finish for not moving with the times!

You heard it here first!

[TheOtherSide]

Oh Goodie A Psyic.

Can you tell me what the Lottery numbers will be?

I am asuming you are new here? No-one knows what this industry will do not even you!

[SkyTrax2]

wait and see chum then go to the archives

[Dried ears]

Groan!:yuk:

[J32/41]

Skytrak-I have to disagree, there will always be a requirement for Kingairs, what VLJ can carry 6-8 passengers with a fairly good range?
Also the VLJ's are quite limited with baggage etc.

[Phil Brockwell]

I heard that crews were being offered start dates at Unique, so I assume that some sort of fleet is iminent?

[ThermoMan]

Just wondering - is there much call for twin piston air taxi iservices in the UK?

Any idea how much charter companies charge per hour for this sort of thing?

Just wondering what a typical salary would be for the driver of a Seneca or similar, and how much the operator would make for what I expect would be something akin to a pittance...

[ThermoMan]

Oh, and many apologies if I've put this in the wrong forum - if you hadn't guessed I'm a wannabe but am hoping to find some sense in here rather than in the wannabes forums, which can get a little jet-heavy at times.

[Life's a Beech]

Trans Euro Air (http://www.transeuroair.com) in Southend. Senecas and Navajo.

Thermoman

The pilots can earn more than starting turboprop FOs or FOs in many GA jet operations. Operators can actually make an operating profit, which is more than can be said for many larger operators.

how about hangar8.com out of oxford

[JustWilliam]

Hangar8?? I'dbe interested in hearing anyones view on this :mad: outfit...

[the flying badger]

There are two companies based at Luton that might be able to help -

Pen-Avia - Citation X
Wings Worldwide Charter - Gulfstream IV

[PAPI-74]

Are Hangar8 bad then?
What's the score there?

[Jester One]

Try Executive Aviation Services at Gloucester operating Citation Bravos and IIs, King Air 350 & 200s and an Islander.

[flybypilot]

Hangar 8 has a very good reputation and everyone that works there are very happy. Good roster, lovely aircraft (nearly all new) good pay and a great atmosphere.

Has approx:
5 x C525/A
5 x HS125
1 x CL601

Still growing and naturally still learning but got a very strong footing.

Hope that helps,

FBP

[dudleymoore]

try xclusivejet.com ;)

[VIKING9]

Hangar 8 only have 3 Hawkers :uhoh:

[Upslope]

You see what happens on here!!!! One person makes a sweeping statement about a company and the vultures are swooping!!

I have personally met both the chief pilot and the deputy chief pilot as well as a fleet manager with H8. Very professional and all around good outfit. The aircraft that I saw were in pristine condition and having spoken to people who have used their services, the general opinion is that they are a solid and very reputable company.

[PAPI-74]

....that would be a nice run for a King Air that would:}:}:}

[flyingmasai]

Air charter scotland has 1 cj1, 2 CJ2, 1 CJ2+ and a CJ3.
2 based in Glasgow, 3 in Luton.
