FL Aviation

FL Aviation is an aircraft management company based in Morristown, New Jersey. It was founded in 1988 to manage the corporate aircraft of Forstmann, Little and Company, a private equity firm. The company says it has nearly four decades of private aviation experience.

The company provides aircraft management for owners and businesses in the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Wilmington region, and supports missions around the world. Clients include private owners, privately held businesses and Fortune 500 companies. The company says it can run a complete flight department or work alongside an existing one.

Flight operations cover 24/7 scheduling, trip coordination, flight following and logistics. Maintenance support includes planning, inspections, service center coordination and AOG support. Crew management covers recruiting, employment, scheduling, training coordination and qualification tracking.

Financial management includes budgeting, invoice review, cost reporting, forecasting and aircraft accounting. Safety and compliance are run under an IS-BAO Stage 3 safety management system. The company says this system supports every aspect of the operation.

Charter management is optional. Under Part 135, the company can generate revenue from managed aircraft while balancing charter demand with the owner's own use. The company also arranges private travel for clients who want an aircraft matched to each trip.

The managed fleet includes Gulfstream G650 and G550 jets, Bombardier Global 6500 and Global 5000 jets, and a Challenger 300. The company says it keeps the managed fleet focused so each client gets direct access. Through trusted operating partners, it can also source turboprops, light jets, midsize and super midsize jets, heavy jets and long range jets.

The company works with OEMs, service centers, FBOs, fuel providers, training centers and maintenance providers. The site also offers aircraft acquisition consulting, which covers what it takes to own, crew, maintain and operate an aircraft.
