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!

Air and ground services – who cares about your comfort and safety?

Every air travel should involve the comfort and safety of the passenger. A team of specialists ensures this state of affairs. It is the ground and air handling of the aircraft that largely determines whether the flight will run smoothly and in a pleasant atmosphere, and whether the additional services related to it will meet the passengers’ requirements. Check who will take care of you on and off the plane when you choose AMC Aviation services.

Passenger aircraft service

The most important person, without whom no flight could take place, is, of course, the pilot. He is the commander of the aircraft and is responsible for piloting – i.e. for steering and maneuvering the aircraft. Depending on his qualifications, the pilot can fly different machines with different numbers of passengers. AMC Aviation pilots not only have licenses allowing them to fly at the controls of passenger aircraft, but also have extensive experience – that is, a large number of flying hours.

A stewardess (or steward) boards the aircraft together with the passengers and the pilot. Her task is to ensure the comfort of flight participants. She is also the first person to turn to in case of any problems or doubts. AMC Aviation flight attendants are appreciated by passengers due to their professional and friendly approach. It is worth remembering that they are also trained to provide first aid and organize rescue operations in the event of danger.

Ground handling of the aircraft

In order for the plane to take off, professional ground crew is also needed. It is up to the technicians whether the machine will be 100% operational and ready to fly. Every day, they perform meticulous inspections to verify the technical condition of the aircraft. They perform periodic and technical inspections and deal with all necessary repairs and maintenance. They also provide assistance when purchasing a machine.

The ground crew also includes people who supervise the flight from an organizational perspective. AMC Aviation logisticians ensure the smooth movement of the machines at our disposal. Friendly and professional first contact staff are responsible for contact with the customer.

Airplane service – airport

Regardless of whether we land at a large airport or a small airport, a team of people takes care of our safety. Traffic controllers ensure collision-free takeoffs and landings and the effective management of traffic. Appropriately trained staff deals with, among others: baggage control, refueling, and airport apron and building maintenance.

Fortunately, small passenger planes can skip the queues – in the case of charter flights, all procedures are significantly simplified and passengers do not have to wait, among others, for boarding or waiting for their luggage after arrival.

VIP customer service

Additionally, AMC Aviation services include VIP customer service. It goes far beyond standard procedures.

Our clients can benefit from, among others the possibility of comprehensive planning of their trip, including booking a hotel or booking a table in a restaurant. Our employees will pick you up from your home or company at a chosen time, take care of your luggage and transport you to the airport using a comfortable car or helicopter. We will make sure that everything is perfect.
