Cessna-class. Not Gulfstream theatre.
Light aircraft, turboprops, helicopters. The plane that fits the trip — not the most expensive one. Pilot sourcing too, when that's what you actually need.
WHAT WE ARE
We don't sell jets we couldn't afford.
Most "private aviation" sites are theatre — Gulfstreams photographed at golden hour, hourly rates obscured. The flights our customers actually take are turboprops and light jets, because the maths works. We're the desk that does the maths honestly.
THE FLEET, HONESTLY DESCRIBED
Five aircraft classes.
Each does one thing well.
The trick isn't picking a fancy plane. It's matching the plane to the mission, then to the price.
Light single
Cessna 172 / Cirrus SR22
2–3 pax
~600 nm
Air-taxi hops, scenic flights, training-grade pilots — the most accessible way into the air.
Cabin twin
Cessna 421 / Beechcraft Baron
4–6 pax
~1,000 nm
UK domestic, short Europe. Pressurised, twin-engine reassurance.
Turboprop
Pilatus PC-12 / King Air 350
6–8 pax
~1,800 nm
The honest workhorse. Cabin you can stand up in. London to the Med, no fuel stop.
Light jet
Citation CJ3 / Phenom 300
6–8 pax
~2,000 nm
When speed matters and budget allows. Same range as a turboprop, much faster.
Helicopter
Agusta 109 / Bell 429
4–6 pax
~350 nm
City to country house. Goodwood. Henley. Heliport-to-heliport, no traffic.
SAFETY, CONCRETELY
The most bullshit-able
line in aviation.
"Safety is our priority" doesn't earn anyone's trust. So instead of saying it, here's what we actually check on your behalf.
Operator certification
Every operator we use is CAA (UK), EASA (EU), or FAA (US) part-135 / AOC certified. We can share the AOC reference with each quote.
Pilot qualifications
We work with operators whose captains meet ATPL minimums and have substantial hours on type. Licences and recent training records are available on request.
Aircraft maintenance
We expect operators to share recent inspection records and any open ADs. If logbooks aren't shareable, we don't use them.
Insurance & indemnity
Hull and liability insurance certificates verified before booking, at the levels appropriate for the aircraft and route.
ROUTES WE KNOW WELL
Patterns we run regularly.
We'll quote anywhere. These are the routes where we have the best operator coverage and the fastest turnaround.
SHORT HOPS
Lunch in Formentera. Skiing in Megève. The places airlines don’t fly to.
Six fully-priced light-aircraft itineraries — beach lunches, mountain runways, three-Michelin day trips, the Hebridean Run. With an interactive picker to find the one that fits your weekend.
