Maximizing Your Asset

Achieving maximum value for your aircraft asset requires the application of best practices in acquisition, operation, maintenance administration and management – a total flight department approach. Our expertise can be of benefit in all areas.

Based on your current and anticipated usage needs, operational and maintenance profiles, depreciation expectations and more, Sterling provides acquisition support to help guide our clients to the most appropriate classes and models of aircraft. In the vast majority of cases, we believe that quality pre-owned aircraft represent the highest value.

Through our operations expertise, Sterling ensures that owning an aircraft remains a pleasure, not a burden. Crew hiring and training, regulatory compliance and insurance are just a few examples of the details we handle for our clients.

Proper aircraft maintenance and record-keeping are critical throughout the ownership period, not only for obvious flight safety reasons but also to preserve the aircraft’s value when you choose to sell. Sterling’s Part 145 certified maintenance facility can perform or coordinate all required maintenance and inspection on your aircraft.

Tying it all together is a top-caliber management program, developed specifically for your needs. Financial advantages of such a program include a variety of cost saving measures, as well as the opportunity to generate charter revenue with your aircraft.

To assist in evaluating and comparing both the fixed and variable costs of owning and operating private aircraft, we offer our exclusive Sterling Aircraft Ownership Budget Analyzer software.
