Services for aircraft owners – what will you gain with AMC Aviation?

Owning your own aircraft is slowly ceasing to be perceived as a whim. Currently, air transport is a real alternative to road transport. The aircraft does not get stuck in traffic jams and reaches the destination much faster, which is especially important in the context of maintaining business contacts or participating in important meetings. Due to the comfort and exceptionally high level of safety, private individuals who want to take comprehensive care of their loved ones are increasingly choosing their own aircraft. Do you have your own aircraft? Or maybe you are planning to buy one? Check what we can do for you.

Private aircraft – is it worth having one?

There are many advantages to owning a private aircraft. The most important one is the travel time. When we run an international company, we often participate in conferences or high-level meetings, the pace of travel is of great importance.

There is no hiding the fact that we all like comfort. It is a private aircraft that will provide us with the best experience during the flight. We do not have to undergo tedious airport procedures or share limited space with fellow passengers who do not always win our sympathy. To all the advantages of private aircraft, we must also add safety: the pilot can avoid areas with difficult weather conditions, and we are not threatened by third parties.

Aircraft maintenance – what does it involve?

We are specialists in comprehensive maintenance of private aircraft. Our team includes not only experienced pilots and stewardesses, but also a competent team responsible for technical maintenance.

As part of our services, we offer periodic aircraft inspections, performed with the utmost attention to all details. We also provide professional assistance in the event of a failure – we will provide replacement transport and repair or replace the faulty element, taking into account your safety and comfort.

Hangaring – why is it so important?

In order for the aircraft to serve us for many years, it is necessary to take care of it also when it is not in the air, but on the ground. This requires having appropriate premises that guarantee optimal conditions for parking aircraft.

At AMC Aviation, we offer a hangaring service in a modern, heated and monitored hangar. It meets all safety parameters, and at the same time is comfortable and spacious.

Aircraft management – ​​what does it mean?

Flying safely with your own aircraft requires taking care not only of its technical condition, but also of its documentation. We know the procedures very well and will guide you through the formalities both at the stage of purchase and during the use of the aircraft.

Thanks to our care, your aircraft will always be ready to go exactly when you need it!

4 Reasons Why a Private Charter Plane Is the Best Means of Transport for a Family Vacation

We often wait for family vacations for many months, or even a whole year. It is no wonder that we want them to be perfect. Meanwhile, during the planning process, we encounter numerous obstacles: departure times of scheduled flights are extremely inconvenient – awake children will be grumpy. The dream location is too far from the airport – you have to choose a popular and crowded resort. Procedures related to the transport of four-legged friends force you to look for a pet sitter or a hotel. Additionally, although air travel is extremely safe, there is always a risk of a terrorist attack or a threat from an unstable passenger. It makes you lose the desire to go. Fortunately, the solution to each of these complex problems is a private charter plane.

Private charter plane – flight conditions

No more getting up in the middle of the night to make it to the early morning flight (and before that, to go through a long, monotonous check-in). A charter plane will take off exactly when you want it to. You make an appointment at a time that suits you and start your journey with a smile.

What is more, you do not have to travel to a distant airport. A private charter plane, much smaller than a scheduled plane, can use most landing strips.

Private plane – where will it fly?

The above advantage is continued in the form of a free choice of flight destination. You do not have to limit yourself to popular, crowded and unattractive holiday destinations. Indicate your dream destination and the plane will land as close to it as possible.

As a result, instead of a long-hour journey from the airport after a long, tiring flight, you will have a short taxi ride – and this is preceded by a flight in comfortable conditions.

Private jet and animal transport

For many of us, pets are simply family members. Leaving your beloved dog or cat in the care of loved ones (or on the contrary – complete strangers) can effectively spoil the pleasure of your holiday. The procedures that you have to go through to fly with your four-legged friend are complicated. In addition, we do not know how the pet will handle the flight and whether it will not disturb the other passengers.

Once again, the clear advantage of a private jet is visible. Do you feel like taking a dog, cat, rabbit or other pet? Just arrange the accommodation conditions with the hotel and prepare the necessary documents, and we will take your pet on board without the slightest problem.

Private charter and safety

Security incidents can occur on scheduled flights. Unstable passengers are most often to blame. Luggage left carelessly behind is also frightening. Additionally, if the geopolitical situation worsens somewhere along the route or even an armed conflict occurs, the scheduled flight has limited options for changing the route.

None of these problems apply to a private jet. Only you and the people you take along are flying. The pilot can also modify the route in the event of a threat (including those resulting from weather conditions).

Private planes – the future of transport in Europe?

Hours spent in monotonous, tedious car journeys. Constant delays and uncomfortable trains, even in business class. Time and nerves wasted at airports during complicated procedures. We all know this and many of us hate travelling precisely because, regardless of the means of transport chosen, it is associated with numerous inconveniences. There is no sign of any imminent improvement – ​​roads and large airports will be increasingly congested and the rolling stock in many European countries requires almost complete replacement. Private planes may prove to be an alternative. What are their advantages and how to start using them?

Private jet plane – advantages

A jet plane for private or business use is slowly ceasing to be an extravagance. It is definitely the fastest means of transport. It surpasses large scheduled planes in that it can use smaller airports, which significantly increases the possibilities of its use.

A private jet is also the safest way known to man to get from point A to point B. The risk of a terrorist attack is practically non-existent, and the great freedom in planning and modifying the route allows you to adjust the flight to weather conditions and avoid territories affected by armed conflicts.

The aspect of comfort cannot be ignored either. A private jet is a place where you can hold a conversation or a conference, relax or eat a meal.

Private plane – buy or rent?

If the argument related to private jets appeals to you and you would also like to travel comfortably, quickly and safely, you have two options: buying a plane or renting it. Both are equally attractive and both have many advantages.

If you travel very often, it is more profitable to buy a plane for your own use. For occasional flights, it is better to find a reliable operator. At AMC Aviation, we guarantee the highest level of service, including piloting, stewardess care, picking up the client from your home, as well as technical and periodic inspections and hangaring,.

How to buy your own plane?

Buying your own plane is a multi-stage task. First, you need to get to know your own needs and possibilities, and then match them to the model of the plane that will meet the guidelines. The selected model must be carefully checked, then the formalities must be taken care of, and finally it must be delivered to the designated location.

Fortunately, we are experts in each of these areas. We offer professional aircraft maintenance, its safe hangaring and care for formalities.

Private planes in Europe – the future of the aviation market?

In Europe, almost 600,000 flights are already carried out by private jets. The infrastructure is growing, thanks to which both large airports and small landing fields have all the necessary facilities.

Considering the need to quickly move to distant places, as well as exceptional safety and comfort, we can expect further development of the private jet sector.

Pilatus PC-24 – luxury without limits

Do you prefer to fly comfortably, safely or quickly? If your means of transport is the Pilatus PC-24, you no longer have to make such choices. It is an exceptionally versatile aircraft, combining luxury with efficiency, allowing for personalization of the cabin and the ability to use unpaved runways. And AMC Aviation is currently the largest operator of the PC-24 fleet in Poland. See what you can gain by deciding to travel on this unique aircraft.

Pilatus PC-24 – history

The manufacturer of the PC-24 is Pilatus Aircraft – a Swiss company that built its first aircraft during World War II. However, the object of its interest was not military aircraft, but civilian ones. Over the 80 years of its activity, the company has become famous as a manufacturer of solid, comfortable and safe machines intended for private and business use. The PC-24 first flew in 2015. This model is a breakthrough in the company’s history, as it is the first jet created by Pilatus Aircraft. Sales of the PC-24 began in 2018. The aircraft have been delivered to North America, Africa, Australia, Europe and South America.

Pilatus PC-24 – specification

The biggest advantage of the PC-24, which distinguishes this model from other popular jets for private use, is its ability to use unpaved runways. This significantly increases the range of destinations – people who want to escape from curious glances and spend their vacation in a place far from resorts and large airports can go there with the Pilatus PC-24.

The aircraft has a range of 3610 km, allowing you to travel freely throughout Europe. It also has a dizzying cruising speed of up to 815 km/h! This means that you will spend very little time on board. The machine is small, agile and light, and is powered by two Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines with a thrust of 15.13 kN each.

Pilatus PC-24 – interior

Speed ​​and ease of getting to hard-to-reach places are not all the advantages of the PC-24. The aircraft stands out for its exceptional travel comfort. The passenger cabin can be adjusted to individual needs, depending on the number of passengers and the amount of luggage. The aircraft can comfortably travel 8 people, each of whom can take a large suitcase.

During the flight, you can use high-quality VIP cold catering, as well as a perfectly equipped bar with exclusive alcohols. There is a lavatory on board and the “CLUB” seating arrangement is perfect for conversations.

Pilatus PC-24 – flight price

At AMC Aviation, we offer flights on Pilatus PC-24 aircraft. The cost of the service is calculated individually each time – it depends, among other things, on the distance and additional services requested by the Customer.

We encourage you to contact us – see for yourself how pleasant and fast a private or business trip can be!

A safe plane is an efficient plane – recent inspections at AMC Aviation

The plane is one of the safest means of transport, next to ships and trains. There are approximately 100,000 flights around the world every day, and the number of accidents is very low. People who are afraid of flying can take comfort in the fact that scientists have estimated the risk of dying in a plane crash at 1 to 11 million, and this rate is decreasing every year. For a car, this ratio is 1 to 112 – so it is almost 100,000 higher! These great results for the aviation industry are the effects of, among others, extremely thorough inspections to which aircraft are subject. We present three examples of servicing that we have recently performed as part of the services we offer.

Airplane technical inspection – who performs it?

But first – a few words of introduction. Not everyone is allowed to maintain the aircraft. Mechanics must have specialized education and experience working under the supervision of professionals. Our ground handling team consists only of the best in their industry – both we and our clients can be sure that the planes are in good hands.

AMC Aviation technicians perfectly know the construction of individual aircraft models. They accurately locate faults and repair them effectively. During periodic inspections, they do not miss any detail. Moreover, after servicing, the planes are thoroughly cleaned inside and out. Both technically and visually, the machines look perfect.

12-year service on LJ60XR

Bombardier Learjet 60XR is an exclusive aircraft that can accommodate up to 6 passengers and luggage, allowing for a journey of up to 5 hours without stopovers, with stewardess care, catering and the option of taking a nap.

Its 12-year inspection is very detailed. Mechanics have to dismantle almost the entire interior of the plane: the cockpit, cabin and luggage area. Additionally, overhaul is performed on the engines – this process is coordinated with the manufacturer’s MRO station in the USA.

10-year service on EMB-505

The Embraer Phenom 100 is a light jet ideal for covering shorter distances in impressive times. Depending on the configuration, it can accommodate up to 6 people.

The review, which takes place every 120 months, is extremely thorough. The interior of the aircraft must be completely removed, the landing gear dismantled and sent to an MRO in the USA. Inspection, repair and modification of the aircraft structure are also carried out.

8-year service on G280

Gulfstream G280 is a supermidsize jet characterized by exceptional travel comfort. It can accommodate up to 9 passengers with luggage and has the quietest cabin in its class. During the flight you can eat a hot meal, use the well-equipped bar and even sleep. A range of nearly 7,000 km allows you to reach numerous destinations.

In the case of this aircraft, the 8-year inspection is the most detailed. During the procedure, all access panels and the entire interior of the aircraft are dismantled. At the same time, inspections of electrical and hydraulic cables and water and sanitary installations are also carried out. Even fuel tanks are being dismantled. Then, functional tests of all aircraft systems are performed. The scheduled inspection lasts up to 2 months, during which time mechanics spend up to 1,000 man-hours on the aircraft!

AMC Aviation – European expert in Gulfstreams

A reliable business consists of many elements. Its basis is professionalism, openness to innovation, willingness to learn, and respect for customers and suppliers. However, solid partnerships that contribute to growth on both sides are essential. AMC Aviation has been a business partner of Gulfstream Aerospace – one of the most recognizable global aviation companies – for years.

Gulfstream – planes for demanding customers

Gulfstream Aerospace is a solid brand with nearly 70 years of history. The company dates back to 1957. It was then that the Gulfstream brand was established, belonging to the American company Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, which produces aircraft for the military.

The G-159 Gulfstream I designed and built by this company was the world’s first commercial aircraft. It owes its popular name to a natural phenomenon known as the Gulf Stream – a strong, warm sea current flowing from North America to Europe.

The great success of the G-159 led Grumman Aircraft Engineering to further explore the concept of small commercial aircraft. The special purpose vehicle established to carry out this task was sold to the outstanding businessman Allen Paulson and soon gained the name Gulfstream American Corporation, which in turn in 1982 gained its current name – Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation. Since 2001, Gulfstream has been part of the General Dynamics concern and is still an American company.

Gulfstream aircraft in the AMC Aviation fleet

At AMC Aviation, we appreciate aircraft with a solid structure, durable and reliable, as well as energy-efficient and comfortable. That is why we have several Gulfstreams in our fleet that perfectly meet these requirements.

The Gulfstream G150, based at the Wrocław-Strachowice airport, is a small and at the same time very comfortable midsize jet. In the supermidsize jet category, the Gulfstream G280 model will meet your wildest expectations. The largest aircraft in our fleet is also a Gulfstream – an ultra long range Gulfstream G500.

G280 – specification and history

AMC Aviation is the largest operator and the most experienced G280 maintenance station in Europe. This agile aircraft with an impressive range of 6,667 km is currently the smallest aircraft offered by Gulfstream. Work on the model began in 2005 and the prototype first flew in 2009.

The G280s in our fleet can accommodate 9 passengers and large luggage. The plane has the quietest cabin in its class. You can even sleep on board, but also eat a delicious hot or cold meal, enjoy a wide selection of best alcohols and rely on the stewardess’ care.

Gulfstream Aerospace and AMC Aviation – fruitful cooperation

We service Gulfstream aircraft with skill, knowledge and experience. We offer both a charter service and technical service.

However, the cooperation between AMC Aviation and Gulfstream Aeroscape does not end there – we willingly take part in joint ventures, such as the G600 business class jet show, which we organized together in our hangar at the Warsaw-Modlin airport. We also participate in conferences and events for Gulfstream operators, where we can share our observations and experience.

If you are looking for pilots experienced in flying Gulfstreams, technicians familiar with servicing these aircraft, as well as professional advice on purchasing a plane from the Gulfstream offer – we are at your disposal!

Ecology and air transport – how to find the golden mean?

The degradation of the natural environment and ongoing climate change are topics to which we cannot remain indifferent. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, we have exploited the planet quite thoughtlessly, which has resulted in today’s pressing problems. But progress cannot be stopped – we have to lead everyday private and professional lives, and this often requires using means of transport that emit exhaust fumes and consume natural resources. Can we do anything to make air travel less of a burden on the planet?

Airplanes and ecology

Modern scheduled passenger aircraft cannot be considered ecological means of transport. They consume a large amount of fossil fuels, the resources of which are running out quickly. The plane also emits greenhouse gases, which has an impact on the atmosphere.

At the same time, we must bear in mind that there is not always an effective alternative to air travel. When we need to get from one place to another quickly or when our priority is to ensure the safety of ourselves and our fellow passengers, the plane is the only means of transport we consider.

Eco-friendly plane – is it possible?

Taking into account environmental issues, some carriers are trying to introduce pro-ecological solutions that reduce the negative impact of aircraft on the natural environment. Unfortunately, in the case of cruise lines, the responsibility is transferred to passengers – they are forced to pay an additional fee to support pro-ecological programs, and the allowable dimensions of luggage are also reduced.

Instead of burdening passengers with the environmental costs of flights, it would be better to focus on practices that are the responsibility of carriers, not their customers.

Eco-plane – what can be done?

At AMC Aviation, we are aware that airplanes are not environmentally neutral means of transport. Therefore, we make every effort to minimize the impact on the natural environment. All this happens without burdening our clients financially and mentally – which does not mean that we do not incur any costs associated with it.

At AMC Aviation, we use new generation aircraft that were designed and built with ecology in mind. Here are examples of solutions aimed at reducing the impact on the environment:

  • Management of engines by FADEC and computers that optimize their operation, reducing fuel consumption and, consequently, lower CO2 emissions. Our small machines consume significantly less fuel than large cruise planes. This is also due to the fact that the planes are technically efficient and effective.
  • Aircraft maintenance frequencies are extended to up to 12 months, so the generation of maintenance waste is limited to once a year.
  • Ability to reach a cruising ceiling of 15 km above the ground, which translates into limited environmental impact.
  • Information about the so-called empty legs, i.e. empty flights. In order not to waste the flight, our customers can use it at an extremely attractive price.
  • We also think about the planet when handling aircraft on the ground. Large glass surfaces in our hangars minimize the power consumption needed for lighting.
  • We carefully segregate waste throughout the company. Particularly harmful ones (such as grease or oil) are collected by specialized companies.
  • We pay fees for CO2 production, which support the EU budget in implementing ecological projects.

Ecological flights – the future of aviation

Aerospace engineers are constantly working to increase the energy efficiency of aircraft, which will mean less environmental pollution. More and more efficient engines are being created, and tests of photovoltaic panels and alternative fuels are ongoing.

We closely monitor these achievements to implement pro-ecological solutions in our activities.

What requirements must you meet to buy your own plane?

People who often use the offer of regular airlines may, over time, lose sympathy for planes as a means of transport. Long hours of waiting at airports, complicated and privacy-infringing procedures, not always pleasant company and cabin crew having to divide their attention among hundreds of passengers – all this makes traveling irritating. Meanwhile, in many professions, frequent flying is unavoidable, and even for private purposes, an airplane is most often the only way to reach your dream destination. Is there any way out of this situation? Even a few – one of them is buying your own plane.

Your own plane – why is it worth it?

Nowadays, no one doubts the necessity of having your own car. Even if we commute to work by public transport (or work remotely) and shop online, we still have to travel longer distances.

More and more people come to the conclusion that the situation is the same when using airplanes – why should you adapt to the carrier’s requirements and schedule when you can fly with whomever you want, when you want and wherever you want?

Purchasing your own plane – how to do it?

However, buying your own plane requires much more effort than buying a car. You need to realistically assess your needs, adjust the model and then choose a specific item. If the aircraft comes from the secondary market, it is necessary to carefully verify its technical condition. Of course, you cannot leave the ground until a number of formalities have been completed.

At every stage of purchasing your own plane, you can count on professional help from specialists from AMC Aviation. Together, we will analyze your needs, recommend a specific aircraft, check it carefully, help with the formal aspects and then, with great pleasure, we will deliver it to the indicated place.

Your own plane – how to take care of it?

Speaking of place, owning an airplane means having to provide it with appropriate conditions. A hangar is required that meets technical requirements and has easy access to the runway. Due to safety reasons, the aircraft should be regularly serviced and the condition of individual systems and components should be verified. Last but not least – someone still has to sit at the controls, and not every owner has the right to pilot the aircraft.

Fortunately, none of the above issues need be problematic if you choose AMC Aviation services. We will provide a professional parking space for the plane, take care of formal and technical issues, as well as provide specialists who will take you to the indicated place any time, on your terms.

Alternative – renting a plane

Do not you fly often enough to make buying your own plane profitable? Another alternative to scheduled flights is to use the offer of private charters.

The AMC Aviation fleet consists of high-class, comfortable jets, ready to take to the air at any time at your signal!

Charter flights for entrepreneurs and companies – advantages and disadvantages

Very often, running a business involves the need to hold meetings with partners, clients and contractors. If they are in places thousands of kilometers away, we most often choose online communication. Yet not all topics can be agreed upon indirectly. Additionally, behind-the-scenes conversations conducted in person, in a small group, are crucial to establishing the most beneficial contacts and obtaining orders. This means the need to use air transport quite often. In addition to scheduled flights, it is also possible to use charters with private jets. Is this a good option for entrepreneurs?

What are the characteristics of charter business flights?

Charter means flying outside the airlines’ schedules. This is a practice commonly used, for example, by travel agencies organizing flights for their clients. But a private jet charter is a completely different level of travel.

For this purpose, comfortable, modern, fast and safe planes are used. From a few to a dozen people can board the small, agile machine – perfect for a company delegation. Passengers can use numerous amenities during the flight (e.g. stewardess assistance, hot and cold catering, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, relaxing with a movie or music).

Advantages of private charter flights

It is difficult to count all the advantages of private charters. The most important thing is certainly the very high level of comfort of such a trip. The standard of first class on a scheduled airliner does not even come close to what a private jet offers.

The pace of travel is equally important. You do not have to arrive at the airport earlier, go through subsequent procedures and then wait for the plane to fill up and take off. You decide when and where you want to fly and the plane is already waiting for you. This also eliminates the risk of a terrorist attack or even the need to put up with unpleasant fellow passengers. Private jets regularly undergo multi-stage verification of the efficiency of all components, which is why they are very safe.

Disadvantages of private charter flights

Each solution also has its drawbacks. In the case of charter flights, we must take into account higher travel costs than in the case of using scheduled aircraft.

Although these costs are adequate to the level of services, not every company can afford regular expenses of this level. Charter business flights are a luxury service intended for successful people who value comfort and who do not always put saving first.

Charter flights from Poland to a selected destination in the world

No matter where your contractor is located, a private jet will get you as close as possible. It does not have to land in a large port – a small landing field is enough.

The prestige you achieve by choosing this means of transport is also important. Your company will automatically be perceived as reliable and trustworthy as it is.

Why is it worth using the private flight charter service?

Today, communication is crucial both in running a business and in everyday life. Not all matters can be dealt with online, nor do we always want to deprive ourselves of the opportunity to meet in person or see interesting areas. The fastest and most effective means of transport is, of course, by plane. You do not like the atmosphere of a large airport? Are you irritated by airport procedures and long waiting times for the next stages of your journey? Do you care about an individual approach and tailoring the service precisely to your needs? If so, private charters are just for you!

Private plane charter – what does it involve?

In general, plane charter is a non-scheduled connection, performed, for example, at the request of a travel agency. Such a charter trip is usually taken by tourists staying in one or more hotels in the area. Flights take place during the change of tour.

Private charter is a completely different class of service. In is the customers who chooses when and where they want to fly and who to take on board. Small jets operating private charter flights are comfortable machines with numerous amenities on board.

Private plane charter – in what situations is it the best solution?

Taking a private charter flight is the best solution in many situations. A small jet can land not only in a large airport, but also on a small landing field adapted for this purpose. This significantly increases the possibility of choosing destinations – we can fly not only to metropolises, but also to small towns beyond the reach of airlines.

Private charter is also recommended when time is of the essence. You no longer have to undergo long-hour procedures or wait for a transfer. Additionally, it is an extremely comfortable solution. Even business or VIP class on a scheduled plane cannot compare to the amenities available on board a private jet.

Who are private plane charters for?

Private charter can be used by all people who care about high quality travel, its safety, speed, as well as extensive possibilities of adapting the service to individual needs.

Representatives of the business world fly on private jets to effectively conduct conversations, establish relationships or agree on transaction details. It is also an ideal solution for sports stars, showbiz stars or anyone else who wants to travel incognito. At the same time, it is hard to imagine a more convenient way to get to a family vacation or a city break with friends – a private jet will take you exactly where you want and at the time you choose.

Private plane charter – price

The price of a private charter flight depends on many variables, including: distance, date, machine parameters or selected additional options. At AMC Aviation, we offer our regular customers the opportunity to take advantage of extremely profitable empty legs flights.

If you fly really often, it may be even more beneficial to buy your own plane, with which we will also help.
