Aircraft Broker Services
Aircraft broker services have the following benefits, and we specialise in providing our clients with perfect peace of mind.
- 01
Flexibility
If one operator has no availability, the broker can quickly find alternatives.
This is useful for last-minute or unusual routing requirements.
- 02
Single Point of Contact
The broker handles sourcing, negotiations, contracts, and flight coordination.
Clients avoid contacting multiple operators themselves.
- 03
Market Knowledge
Experienced brokers understand operator reputations, aircraft capabilities, and market rates.
They can help match the right aircraft to the mission.
- 04
Direct Operator Communication
You deal directly with the company operating the aircraft.
Communication can be simpler and more transparent.
Use a brokerage when you want the widest choice, competitive quotes, or help managing charter arrangements.
In practice, many corporate and private charter clients use brokers for trip sourcing while ensuring that the actual operator is a reputable, properly certified AOC holder.
Testimonials
To Whom It May Concern
I had the pleasure and privilege of working for Shirley Meyer at Rossair from 1992 to 1996.
During that time, Shirley served as the Managing Director of Rossair charter, and I attribute much of the success of the operation to her outstanding management ability and exceptional attention to detail. She was always firm yet fair in her leadership approach, earning her the utmost respect and admiration of both the flight crew and staff.
Shirley was instrumental in shaping the successful careers of many of us pilots, and I am personally very grateful for the guidance, support, and professionalism she consistently demonstrated.
Her extensive experience, leadership skills, integrity, and strong interpersonal qualities make her exceptionally well suited for any management position.
