Solairus reinvents light jet and turboprop management
Solairus will provide full flight, maintenance and safety management as preferred core services while also offering clients additional options to customise a programme that best matches their specific needs.
Light jet and turboprop programme members can access a variety of economically priced support services plus charter opportunities.

San Francisco Bay Area-headquartered part 135 operator Solairus has expanded its aircraft management focus with a newly revised programme tailored for light jet and turboprop aircraft. Utilising codified best practices, Solairus will provide full flight, maintenance and safety management as preferred core services while also offering clients additional options to customise a programme that best matches their specific needs.

All light jet and turboprop programme members will have access to the economic advantages provided to Solairus' fully managed fleet. These benefits include significant market discounts for fuel, crew training, insurance, travel and wi-fi services.

“The core foundation of the light jet and turboprop management programme is the integration of our client's aircraft into our flight management system, providing access to our industry-leading processes and procedures,” says executive vice president David Davenport. “We then give all clients access to our safety management system (SMS), we integrate their maintenance tracking programmes into our operations software and their operations are included in our dispatch and flight tracking services.”

Light jet and turboprop programme members can also maximise the return on their aviation investment with a variety of additional economically priced support services including full maintenance oversight, fiscal management, crew recruiting and employment, flight coordination and logistics, and the opportunity to offset some of the costs of ownership through charter.

“By providing a comprehensive and customisable programme, Solairus provides light jet and turboprop owners the same quality management solutions enjoyed by our fleet of over 280 aircraft,” adds Davenport.
