6/8-seat jet to rent/lease @LFTW

[lanef300]

Hi everyone!

I'm sure this has been covered but I can't really find the infos I'm looking for, so here I go.
I'm looking for a 6 to 8 seat jet aircraft that I would rent for Part 91 ops.
The reqs are:
-6 seats minimum, 8 would be good, and I will consider anything with more.
-no turboprops, except a P180, because of what the boss wants to look like. I know. But he's the boss right.
-most flights will depart from LFTW/Nîmes Garons, to Europe/North Africa, so a range of 2000nm is really enough. No need for transatlantics or anything like that. We can consider repositioning the plane, but being able to have it in Nîmes would be better. Except in emergency cases, we will have a schedule of the flights, so we can plan ahead the trips.
-it can be single pilot or multi-crew, and thanks but we will provide the crew (which is for me the whole point of the operation). We'll take care of everything regarding catering or in-flight services.

So right now I'm looking for a Citation or something in this range (Hawker), and I'd be interested in knowing what options are available, and who you guys think I should talk to/with for such transaction.
Where can I find quotations and a reliable person for that?
I'm really really open to any idea and I'm commited to providing him with the best solution.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, yet I'm looking forward to reading from you guys and gals!
Thanks!

Thanks for all the quick pms, I'm going to answer each and everyone of you asap :ok:
By the way, we're FAA and JAA rated, so it can be N-registered too.

Might be worth reading lanef300's other posts before renting your jet to him...

Anyhow, our aircraft, despite some having as few as six seats and being tantalising close to Nimes, are all tied up.

...and we don't let any Tom, Dick, or lanef fly them...

[lanef300]

Thank you for that useful post, you have a pm.
And I guess that's a good thing I'm no Dick nor Tom!

N reg and Part 91 ops from France.... I wish you luck and a good understanding of all the paperwork you need to bring on every flight :{

[lanef300]

Well you're right, this is going to hurt a lot.
Nevertheless I'm trying to be as open-minded as possible to any option.

So you want to be open minded about starting a semi legal operation? Why not start an EASA operation... :confused:

Some perks available, but with no time in the plane you will have to pay a Captain (mentor) for an extended period of time. But this being said, in today's economy , may be some people are desperate to make their birds to fly...I wish you luck in LFTW, the customs people will be on board at every departure.. ( watch your IM40, your truth in Leasing contract, and the pax manifest..) The only good thing is that for impounding the place is cheap down there, a mere 20k€ to recover... but every other week , might be a bummer...:suspect:

[lanef300]

No RYR for me: I'm sorry for my english, what I meant is that I'm trying to look at each and every option, there's no way I'm going to do anything illegal.

CL300: thank you very much for all the remarks. I won't be the captain onboard, I'm not the only one involved, I just get the f/o position.
It has to be in LFTW since the person we intend to fly around is living there and really wants the convenience of flying from/to this airport.

what I meant is that I'm trying to look at each and every option

That is what I am saying: why not look at every legal option? :sad:

[lanef300]

Right, so apparently I was not very clear or actually I may not have made my point: I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen, and there's no way I'm going to do anything illegal. So I was looking for advice and tips regarding such project :O

And thank you to every one of you who sent me a pm, I'm going to answer you as soon as possible, you all provided me with great infos and offers!
