Owning a private jet involves far more than the flights themselves. Schubach Aviation is an aircraft management company based in San Diego and New York City, and we have operated charter flights since 1992. We oversee the day-to-day operation of your aircraft so you can focus on using it. Whether you already own a jet or are considering a purchase, we start by learning how you travel and what you want from ownership.
Private Aircraft Management Services for Owners
Our private aircraft management services cover maintenance, regulatory compliance, staffing, and administration. Owners also benefit from several cost-saving programs:
- Fuel: our preferred fuel discounts apply at every stop.
- Maintenance: discounted airframe, engine, and avionics work through our affiliated FAA-certified repair stations, Hangar One and Hangar One Avionics.
- Storage and insurance: reduced rates on hangar space and insurance.
- Crew: help screening and hiring flight crew, plus savings on certified pilot training.
- Administration: support for your flight department employees.
- Fleet access: owners also have access to our wider fleet.
Private Jet Management Services and Charter Revenue
Our private jet management services include the option to place your aircraft in our charter fleet when you are not using it, which can offset part of your ownership costs. Income depends on how often you fly, the aircraft type, and market demand, so we recommend comparing projected charter revenue with operating and maintenance costs first. Our inquiry form addresses common concerns, including depreciation, return on investment, and fees.
Aviation Management Company Support Before You Buy
Good ownership decisions start before the purchase. Our team assists with the acquisition of future aircraft, and it helps to begin with the basics: typical trip length, passenger count, and the airports you use most. Those answers narrow the right aircraft, and they shape the operating budget that follows.
How to Choose a Flight Management Company
Ask any flight management company what is included, who is responsible for each task, how owner trips and charter flights are scheduled, and how costs are billed. Safety standards matter too. Schubach Aviation holds ARG/US Platinum, WYVERN Wingman, and IS-BAO Stage 3 ratings, and our leadership team brings more than 50 years of combined private aviation experience. See our safety standards for detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an aircraft management company handle for jet owners?
A good aircraft management company coordinates maintenance, regulatory compliance, crew staffing, and administration. Schubach Aviation also adds fuel discounts, reduced hangar and insurance rates, pilot training savings, and acquisition help. Ask for a written scope of services so you know which tasks we handle and which decisions stay with you.
Can private jet aircraft management help offset ownership costs?
It can. Schubach Aviation lets owners add their aircraft to our charter fleet when they are not using it, which may offset part of the cost. Results depend on how much you fly, your aircraft type, and demand, so charter revenue is not guaranteed to cover expenses. Ask for a realistic projection that includes operating and maintenance costs.
How do I compare private aircraft management services?
Compare what each provider handles, their experience with your aircraft type, how they communicate with owners, and how they bill. Ask how your own trips and any charter flying would be scheduled. Schubach Aviation can walk current and prospective owners through its services, and reviewing everything in writing before signing helps avoid surprises.
Can an aviation management company help before I buy a jet?
Yes. Schubach Aviation assists with the acquisition of future aircraft. Involving an aviation management company early lets you look beyond the purchase price to crew needs, maintenance, hangar space, and whether the aircraft fits the trips you actually take. Share your typical routes and passenger counts, and we can discuss which aircraft types suit them.
How much do private jet management services cost?
Cost depends on your aircraft, how often you fly, and the services you choose, so no single figure applies. Schubach Aviation discusses fees with each current or prospective owner, and our inquiry form lets you raise cost questions up front. Ask for a written breakdown of fees, then compare it with projected savings on fuel, maintenance, and hangar costs.
