Where Enthusiasm Meets Professionalism
When talking to the staff at V1 Management, you’ll quickly realize that not only are we long-time industry professionals, but we’re also passionate about what we do. Aviation can be a tough business, and sometimes it feels like the regulations try to strip the fun out of flying – but not all the fun. We’re devoted to this business and to our clients. There’s nothing we’d rather do than to bring other aviation enthusiasts into the fold.
We pride ourselves on aviation industry knowledge, professionalism and on understanding the discerning preferences and needs of our clients. Want to know more? Contact us today.
Our Numbers in Black and White
We never compromise on client safety. Period. It’s our single greatest priority. Still, with world class service comes a surprisingly affordable price tag and total transparency. Here’s a breakdown of how we earn our money:
-
Management fees: We are first and foremost an aircraft management company. Our clients and their safety and satisfaction remain our priority. We will work with you to determine your needs, and you’ll be charged a flat fee per month based on those needs. These fees don’t fluctuate for unexpected events. You can change or cancel your service at any time, and we’ll even help you with the transition.
-
The sale and acquisition of aircraft: We charge some of the lowest brokerage fees in the industry. Any “split” fees with other brokers are discussed in advance and approved by the client. Our fees don’t change based on the price of the airplane. Just as every other aspect of our business, we remain consistent.
And that’s it. We don’t inflate rates for pilot fees, pilot training, aircraft maintenance, fuel, or any of the dozen ways that other management and charter companies attempt to make an extra dollar. All associated aircraft costs will be presented to you in black and white in a detailed monthly report. Ultimately, we believe that having open communication and transparency means we’ll retain our clients. Our history has proven this philosophy.
Some companies claim that they require “no working capital,” but these are charter operators, and we encourage you to consider the fact that these companies are already making money off the airplane. So, yes, you’ll need to have available initial “working capital,” which essentially means you’ll need to have a month’s worth of bills in escrow to begin. It’s fair, and it makes the whole process run smoothly.
