Part 135 charter management

Turn Your Aircraft into a Cash-Positive Asset

Owning an aircraft doesn’t have to mean carrying the full financial and operational burden alone. With Valiair Charter Management, your aircraft remains fully available for your own flights—while generating charter revenue when you’re not using it. We handle compliance, operations, crew, sales, and maintenance coordination end to end. You stay in control. We make ownership work for you.

What Is Charter-Management?

We coordinate placement of your aircraft on a certified FAA Part 135 operator’s certificate, prepare it for conformity, recruit pilots and coordinate their training with the certificated operator, and run 24/7 sales & dispatch—while you retain owner use under Part 91.

In short: end-to-end charter management with auditable, line-item statements and owner-first scheduling.
Owner-first economics

Turn Downtime into Income

Charter revenue helps offset the fixed costs of ownership such as crew, maintenance, insurance, and hangar fees. Your personal flights always take priority under Part 91. Charter operations are scheduled only around your availability—not the other way around.

What we Coordinate

Regulatory & Compliance

Coordination of FAA Part 135 conformity and ongoing compliance with the certificate operator, including documentation, audits, and regulatory alignment.

Crew & Training

Pilot recruitment and placement, including coordination of initial and recurrent training and operator-proving requirements.

Operations & Sales

24/7 charter sales and dispatch, trip coordination, and aircraft placement strategy.

Bonus Depreciation (2025 law)

Charter ownership can create significant tax advantages under current U.S. bonus depreciation rules. Valiair supports not only the acquisition strategy—but ensures the aircraft is actually placed, marketed, and operated to generate revenue.

Make Ownership Work for You: How Valiair Does Things Differently

Availability you can count on, clean numbers, and compliance handled. Here’s how our owner-first program compares to the typical approach—with the Part 135 workload coordinated with the certificated operator.

Your Challenges
Typical Management
How We Solve Them
Idle time / under-utilization
Business-hours quoting; base chosen for convenience; reactive to inbound requests.
24/7 sales & dispatch and demand-led basing to target stronger trips and reduce idle time.
Regulatory & compliance workload
Owner chases records; unclear roles with the 135 operator; fragmented maintenance/FAA comms.
We manage the owner-side documentation and coordination for Part 135 conformity with the certificated operator, and liaise with maintenance providers and the FAA via official channels.
Cost control & cash transparency
% fees, add-ons, and summary invoices that are hard to reconcile.
Flat, transparent management fee and auditable, line-item owner statements for clean reconciliation.
Crew continuity & schedule protection
Patchwork crewing; charter requests can displace owner missions.
Pilot recruiting and operator-approved training coordination; Part 91 owner flights first and blackout dates honored.
Launch friction (docs & approvals)
Ad-hoc document gathering; back-and-forth with the FAA slows launch.
Execute POAs via our in-house notary, retrieve required records under your POA from the FAA Registry and OEM/maintenance systems via official channels, and prepare the conformity documentation in coordination with the certificated operator.
Strategic growth / yield quality
Limited network; reactive selling; static basing.
Access to corporate/government channels and software-driven deployment to improve utilization quality.

Frequently asked questions

What Charter-Management Clients Ask Most.
Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?
Please contact us.
Can I keep Part 91 priority?
Yes—owner flights take precedence. We schedule charter around your blackout dates and missions.
How long does it take to launch?
Timelines vary by aircraft, records, basing, and local FAA workload. We de-risk with complete conformity documentation, early pilot recruiting and operator-approved training coordination, and proactive coordination with the certificated operator.
Who operates the flights and what is your role?
Charter flights are operated by our sister company Next Air LLC (FAA Part 135 operator). Valiair coordinates conformity, crew, and sales & dispatch with the certificated operator and is not a direct air carrier.
How are charter revenue and fees handled?
You receive auditable, line-item statements. Revenue and costs are reconciled per the management agreement, and our management fee is flat and transparent.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to maintenance tracking & logs, any leases, and your registration and airworthiness documents. If something is missing, we can retrieve records under your POA from the FAA Registry and OEM/maintenance systems via official channels.
