Small Ops Company Required

A couple of months ago there was a thread discussing recomendations for individuals or small companies offering economical flight planning/Ops services. Unfortunately, having spent some time trying, I cannot locate these threads through the search function.

Could therefore someone point me in the direction of the thread in question or alternatively provide the names and contact numbers once again.

Yours gratefully.

Flightworx

Hi Johnny,

Not sure on the rules for posting that (does it fall under advertising if you have no links to a company other than being a customer?).

I operate out of the Middle East, but we use a UK Ops company called Flightworx as they have a good reputation and have been able to arrange everything from flight plans to overflights and visas for us. They have provided us with some very short notice cover, and have someone available in their office 24/7 incase of any problems. Prices seem very competitive.

Their details are:
www.flightworx.aero
+44 (0) 1787 224807

I've copied that into a PM for you as well.

Hope that helps,

Chinchilla.

Swiss Private Aviation out of Zurich, Switzerland seems to be a good deal.

Check it out: SWISS PrivateAviation - Home

Small Ops

Echo the thoughts of Talliman regarding Signum Aviation. Very reliable, one to one service.

Good Luck.

AFS Airborne Flight Support

Hello,

an in germany located company named AFS Airborne Flight Support. All world wides services for corporate / general aviation / private flights. The crewbriefing package 45 EUR is not too much, the guys are 24/7/365 on duty. A possibility for price sensitive operators to outsource the dispatch!

We use Signum and swear by them, Thay may outsource some Overflights but it's a well priced, reliable and personal service and we've never found ourselves banging our heads against any walls as in merlin's post.

Wh have honestly NEVER had an ops related problem.

Flightworx

Like Chinchilla i have used and am still using Flightworx. UK based company who seem to have a good quality 24/7 ops team. I have used them for worldwide flight support and haven't been anywhere yet that they cant handle.

Nothing seems to be much trouble for them and their prices are very competitive. Give them a try..... www.flightworx.aero

I agree with the comment before about Flightworx. They last year helped us make a flight and I am happy to use them again.

I only need to find a seat which to sit!

As per other comments above, having used Flightworx i can highly recommend them on all levels - the guys (and gal) all strive for perfection it seems, highly competitive on price and with 24/7 support makes for exceptional service - like some trip support providers who fall down in worldwide ops, these guys are very experienced in all areas around the globe and therefore have vast resources of contacts and knowledge to source short notice overflight permits, arrange handling, fuelling at best rates, optimised flight routings etc., etc.

If anyone requires a chat than more than welcome to drop me a PM, will happily discuss my experiences (all positive) ! oh, and just to note in case anyone is in doubt - i have no connection with the company other than being an end user of the exceptionally good services they offer !

I think the praise for flightworx so far on here is well-deserved.

They have builit a very capable, solid team, and they're determined to be the best. They're quite a breath of fresh air in this sector.
I've been impressed in all my B2B dealings with the company thus far, and have heard good things from colleagues who have operated under their trip support.

I have used Flightworx several times for flight planning and permissions throughout Europe and Asia. They once obtained an Indian landing permit for us in less than 40hrs which was truly outstanding. The support staff provide a professional, personal and timely service always and as mentioned by others, pricing is very competitive, in fact much lower than our previous support provider. All in all, I'd recommend them.

UK Ops Company

I am too tight fisted to pay for advertising so I thought I would pose as a satisfied customer of my own to company post here and send PM's to other members.
