Management
Who We Serve
Aircraft Management Clients | Part 91 & Part 135
At Haven Aero, we manage aircraft for a wide range of owners—each with unique goals but a shared expectation for safety, transparency, and simplicity. Whether you fly privately under Part 91 or want to generate charter revenue under Part 135, we deliver turnkey management solutions tailored to your mission.
Private Owners (Part 91)
Ideal for individuals or families who want hassle-free ownership without giving up control. We handle everything—hangar, maintenance, pilot staffing, insurance, and compliance—so you can simply fly.
Example:
A family in Amarillo owns a CJ2+ and flies to business trips, family vacations and Dallas Cowboy games. Haven Aero handles all scheduling, hangar, pilot availability, and aircraft upkeep.
Business-Owned Aircraft
Designed for companies using their aircraft as a strategic business tool. We ensure your plane is always flight-ready and your operations remain fully FAA-compliant.
Example:
A construction firm uses a King Air 200 to travel between project sites across the Tri-State area. Haven provides flight crews, schedules maintenance, and ensures full FAA documentation is always up to date.
Charter-Minded Owners
Perfect for owners looking to offset operating costs by making their aircraft available for charter. You earn revenue, and we manage the logistics, compliance, and sales.
Example:
A doctor owns a Falcon 50 that sits idle during the week. Under Part 135, Haven Aero charters the aircraft when not in use, generating consistent monthly income and handling all operational details.
Fractional or Shared Owners
Great for groups of partners who jointly own an aircraft. We create clear communication and centralized management for scheduling, usage, billing, and maintenance.
Example:
Three business partners jointly own a Beechjet 400A. Haven acts as the neutral party handling scheduling conflicts, maintenance oversight, and monthly reporting.
New Owners or 1st Time Buyers
We support owners from day one—helping them select the right aircraft, handling pre-buy inspections, and managing the transition into either Part 91 or 135 operations.
Example:
A first-time buyer purchases a Citation XLS. Haven Aero walks them through the acquisition, sets up a tailored management plan, and staffs a full-time crew.
Remote-Based Aircraft Owners
Aircraft based outside of major hubs can still receive world-class support. We specialize in managing aircraft in Amarillo, Jackson, and other underserved markets.
Example:
An owner based in rural Mississippi places a King Air F90 with Haven Aero for full management and 135 charter ops. We coordinate pilot rotations and oversee the aircraft remotely with local support.

No matter how you fly or why you own, Haven Aero makes aircraft management effortless. Reach out today and learn how we can help protect your asset, reduce your workload, and—when desired—generate revenue.

Customer Testimonials
Why Aircraft Management & Part 135 Operations Make Sense
Owner Q&A
Aircraft ownership should be a strategic advantage — not a logistical burden. At Haven Aero, we provide full-service aircraft management for both Part 91 (private use) and Part 135 (charter operations), allowing you to enjoy the benefits of ownership while we handle the rest. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from prospective clients.
Managing an aircraft requires constant attention to compliance, pilot oversight, maintenance coordination, insurance, fuel, scheduling, and more. Haven Aero takes that entire responsibility off your plate — ensuring your aircraft is always safe, flight-ready, and operating within budget. You focus on the mission; we handle the rest.
Part 91 covers personal or business use with limited regulatory oversight, while Part 135 governs commercial charter operations with stricter FAA requirements (e.g., pilot training, drug testing, maintenance, insurance). Under Part 135, your aircraft can legally fly paying passengers when not in use by you — generating revenue.
It creates a revenue stream to offset ownership costs. Charter revenue can cover a significant portion of annual operating expenses — including pilot salaries, hangar fees, insurance, and maintenance — while Haven Aero ensures operational compliance and aircraft readiness.
No. You retain full ownership and priority scheduling. We collaborate with you to block off time for personal use and coordinate charter activity around your needs. You’re always in the loop — with full transparency and reporting.
Operating exclusively under Part 135 shifts legal and operational liability from you to the operator (Haven Aero). Every flight is conducted under our FAA certificate, minimizing your personal and corporate liability exposure. We handle all compliance, oversight, and pilot responsibility — giving you peace of mind.
Not with proper management. Haven Aero tracks all maintenance events, logbooks, and usage data meticulously. We proactively schedule upkeep and cosmetic refreshes to preserve value. In many cases, a well-managed aircraft used for charter holds value better than a privately flown, poorly maintained one.
Most turbine aircraft are eligible. Our team will evaluate your aircraft and identify any modifications needed — whether it’s updating equipment, paperwork, or maintenance programs — to meet FAA standards for charter.
Yes. Part 135 operations may qualify your aircraft for accelerated depreciation (bonus depreciation) and other business-use deductions. You may also be able to offset charter income with related expenses. Tax implications vary by ownership structure and usage, so we always recommend working with an aviation tax professional.
Whether operating Part 91 or 135, our managed clients benefit from:
- Access to our group insurance program, reducing premiums significantly.
- Discounted crew costs through our pilot staffing program.
- Wholesale fuel pricing at multiple FBOs.
- Priority service access at all Haven MRO locations.
- 10% discount on parts and labor for all MRO maintenance services.
- No repositioning fees for aircraft managed in-market.
These savings typically offset a large portion of your management fee — and often result in lower total cost of ownership compared to independent operation.
We combine concierge-level service with operational discipline and full transparency. Our Owner Advantage Program includes real-time reporting, proactive maintenance coordination, scheduling, pilot staffing, and revenue generation (if desired). Plus, our team is built to move quickly — giving you fast answers and flawless execution.
