Business aircraft sales and training firm Aerocor has launched a turbine aircraft management service division. The subsidiary, Aircraft Management Solutions, will be headed by industry veteran Garrett Woodman and is aimed at Aerocor’s aircraft acquisition clients.
With the addition of aircraft management, the company said it becomes a full-service aviation company with offerings that support owners at all phases of aircraft ownership. “Having a management product will allow us to deliver the type of product that buyers have grown to expect from Aerocor and provide a seamless experience throughout the aircraft ownership life cycle,” Woodman noted.
The company already has its first two midsize jets—a Cessna Citation Sovereign and Hawker 800A—under management. Both aircraft were brought in under Aerocor’s acquisition program and have undergone refurbishment before being added to the managed fleet.
According to Woodman, the company will use the same data-based approach in its management product that Aerocor employs for the aircraft sales market—“similar to how airlines manage safety and operational costs,” he explained.
Aerocor said it plans to continue broadening its portfolio this year.
