Aircraft management companies

197 companies across 39 countries. Updated 12 October 2026.

Aircraft management companies run a private or corporate aircraft on behalf of its owner. A typical contract covers hiring and training crew, planning and overseeing maintenance, arranging insurance, hangarage and fuel, flight planning, and monthly cost reporting. Many managers also hold an air operator certificate (AOC), so the owner can choose to place the aircraft on charter and offset some of the running costs.

When comparing managers, ask whether they hold an AOC and which aircraft types they already operate, how charter revenue and costs are split, and how fees are charged. Independent safety audits such as IS-BAO, ARGUS or Wyvern are a useful sign of how well an operator runs its flights.
