Aircraft management

It’s all in the numbers.

Merillair is not your typical “aircraft management” company. The Merillair team of seasoned professionals includes talent assembled from the best in the private aviation and airline industry.

•   Operating cost per owner hour – with and without charter revenue, so you know the bottom-line charter contribution per flight hour and how it reduces your cost of flying.
• Fuel pricing and consumption – see economy of scale fuel pricing in real dollars and cents while also knowing how economically your aircraft is being operated.
• Maintenance costs per hour and 180-day forecasting – you will always be informed well in advance of upcoming maintenance inspections, downtime, and the exact cost of all maintenance per hour.

• Aircraft warranties and programs – unlike other management companies, we track every aspect of every warranty item and maintenance program to maximise the benefits and reduce your cost of ownership.

• Flight time/cycles – this critical item is often overlooked when planning daily flight segments. The fine print of your engine or maintenance program contains provisions for minimum flight hour-to-cycle ratios. 

• Charter hours vs. goal – we work with you to develop an annual budget that includes charter hours and revenue. You will know exactly how we perform to that budget.
