Comparing Air Denver to aircraft ownership.
Buying an aircraft is expensive but is the easiest part compared with its operating costs. An aircraft requires a crew, crew training, maintenance, insurance, hangars and parking fees. And these are only some of the additional costs associated with owning an aircraft.
Fractional companies make owning an aircraft simpler by dividing the costs of owning an entire aircraft between several owners. Originally they advertised that owners could have their aircraft available in about 8 hours from your call. Today, however, they ask for up to 3 days notice. And if you want your aircraft sooner, it can cost an extra 40 to 50 percent! Still they require a large up-front cost for purchasing a portion of the aircraft, plus high monthly management fees and trip charges which are equal to or higher than a regular charter through Air Denver.
By using Air Denver’s services, you can have all the advantages of aircraft ownership, but without the additional costs and responsibilities. Also, as your needs vary, we can offer the flexibility of having the right type and size of aircraft for a specific flight requirement. In addition, we routinely provide our clients with innovative and economical options to consider before they make a final decision.
