Registered at Companies House — Company No: 16XXXXXX
A complete aviation charter company structure with 476 documents, financial models, and full digital infrastructure — including a live website, business email, and dedicated phone line. Modelled on a two-aircraft fleet (Citation Longitude + Phenom 300E). Aircraft are not included and are separately financed post-acquisition.
Volantis Aviation is structured as a private charter operation modelled on a two-aircraft fleet: a Cessna Citation Longitude (heavy jet) and an Embraer Phenom 300E (light jet). Financial models are based on market charter rates of approximately £7,000/hr and £4,200/hr respectively, with a weighted average of £5,600/hr. Aircraft are not included in the purchase and are separately financed.
Projected revenue comes from charter bookings, aircraft management fees, and positioning flights. Year 1 financial models project approximately 960 fleet hours generating ~£5.38M revenue. The business model covers both ad-hoc charter and block-hour agreements with corporate clients.
Variable costs break down to 27% fuel, 23% crew, and 13% maintenance — 63% total. Fixed overhead runs at £34,000/month covering hangar lease at Farnborough, insurance, and administration.
The UK private aviation market is growing, driven by corporate travel, high-net-worth individuals, and the increasing inefficiency of commercial aviation for time-sensitive routes. Premium charter demand consistently outpaces fleet availability across Europe.
Documentation and financials built around Citation Longitude (heavy) and Phenom 300E (light). Aircraft separately financed.
Weighted average £5,600/hr across the fleet. Corporate and HNWI client base with strong repeat booking potential.
Hangar at Farnborough Airport — the UK's premier business aviation hub. Proximity to London and excellent FBO facilities.
Full Air Operator Certificate application documentation prepared. Operations Manual, Safety Management System, and all supporting compliance packs included.
Positioned in the UK's fastest-growing aviation segment. Corporate travel, medical evacuation, and luxury leisure charter.

| Fleet Hours (Year 1) | ~960 hours |
| Charter Rate (weighted avg) | £5,600/hr |

Financial projections are illustrative. Actual results will vary by fleet utilisation, charter rates, fuel costs, and management model. All models are provided as adjustable Excel workbooks. Hull values (£18M Citation Longitude + £9.5M Phenom 300E) represent the aircraft assets, which are separately financed or leased. The £50,000 purchase price covers the operating company, documentation, and infrastructure — not the aircraft themselves.
Whether you want to hold the AOC yourself, invest passively, or build a consortium — the model adapts to your situation.
Run charter operations directly, hold the AOC as Accountable Manager, and manage the fleet yourself. No external management overhead. Maximum personal return from the operating margin.
See full breakdown →Hire an Accountable Manager and qualified crew. You own the company, attend board meetings, and collect dividends. Passive charter income without day-to-day involvement in flight operations.
See full breakdown →Aviation consortium model. 5 people contribute £1,000 each to acquire the company. Pool resources for startup capital. Shared risk, shared returns from one of the UK's highest-value charter operations.
See full breakdown →Start with the two-aircraft model, prove operations, then add aircraft to the fleet. Each additional aircraft leverages the existing AOC, infrastructure, and crew systems. Revenue scales with fleet size.
See full breakdown →Non-UK resident ownership with a UK AOC. Appoint nominated postholders (Accountable Manager, Head of Flight Ops, etc.) in the UK. Provide governance remotely. Receive dividends quarterly.
See full breakdown →Your documentation library is mapped to the specific questions each funding body asks. That is your advantage.

You receive a registered UK limited company (shares and directorship transferred to you), a 476-document professional library covering every operational area of a private aviation charter business, 6 financial models in Excel, AOC Application-Ready documentation, a live professional website (www.volantisair.co.uk), business email, a UK business phone number (0300 352 XXXX) with professional IVR, and 12 months of managed infrastructure support. This is not a template pack — it is a complete, functioning business foundation for a private aviation charter company.
No. The £50,000 purchase price covers the operating company, all 476 documents, financial models, digital infrastructure, and 12 months of support. The aircraft (Citation Longitude and Phenom 300E) are separately financed or leased — you are buying the business structure, not the metal. The documentation library includes aircraft finance models, lease comparison workbooks, and templates for aircraft management agreements. Hull values of £27.5M combined represent the aircraft assets you would finance through aviation-specialist lenders at 70–85% loan-to-value ratios.
Yes. Selected documents are available for preview in the Document Library. Every document title is listed publicly. Preview access shows you the structure, quality, and depth of the documentation. Full access is granted on completion of purchase.
No. You do not need a pilot's licence to own or operate a charter company. The CAA requires an Accountable Manager (who can be you, with appropriate competency) and nominated postholders for Flight Operations, Continuing Airworthiness, and Ground Operations. Pilots are employed or contracted separately. If you choose the investor-owner or passive model, you can hire all key personnel and oversee the business at board level without any aviation qualifications.
An AOC (Air Operator Certificate) is the licence issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority that permits a company to conduct commercial air transport operations. It is the aviation equivalent of a CQC registration for care businesses. The Volantis documentation pack is AOC Application-Ready — all application documents, the Operations Manual, Safety Management System, and supporting compliance evidence are prepared. You submit the application to the CAA and work through the approval process, which typically takes 6–12 months.
Yes. The UK's Companies Act 2006 imposes no residency requirement on directors or shareholders. You own the company, appoint UK-based nominated postholders (required for the AOC), and receive dividends. The CAA requires the company's principal place of business to be in the UK, which is satisfied by the Farnborough base and UK-based key personnel. Read our full guide for foreign buyers →
We execute the legal transfer: shares are transferred via stock transfer forms, you are appointed as director at Companies House, and all digital assets (website, email, phone, documents) are handed over via a secure process. You then begin the AOC application process with the CAA — the full documentation pack is prepared and ready to submit. Secure hangar space, recruit your crew and nominated postholders, arrange aircraft finance, and begin operations. The 12-month support period covers technical infrastructure from day one.
Yes. Volantis Aviation Ltd is an incorporated UK limited company — Company No: 16XXXXXX. On purchase, shares transfer to you and you are appointed as director. This is all verified on the public Companies House register from the day of transfer. The company has a registered address, company number, and all formation documents in place.
Aircraft are typically financed through specialist aviation lenders who provide secured loans against the hull value of the aircraft. A modern Citation Longitude (£18M) and Phenom 300E (£9.5M) have strong residual values, allowing loan-to-value ratios of 70–85%. Finance terms typically run 7–15 years. Alternatively, aircraft can be leased through operating leases (lower upfront capital) or wet-leased with crew included. The Volantis documentation includes an Aircraft Finance & Lease Comparison Workbook that models all three approaches.
Every venture includes 12 months of managed infrastructure: website hosting, business email, phone system, and technical support. After Year 1, free Basic support continues indefinitely (email, 5-day response, knowledge base). Paid tiers start at £49/month for Standard and £99/month for Premium with faster response times, phone support, and proactive management. View Support Plans →
