Aviobase Managed
Own the aircraft. Skip the hassle. Keep the income.
Your aircraft is probably your most expensive asset, and for most of the month it just sits there costing you money. Aviobase Managed flips that. We run the entire rental operation for you, so the plane that used to drain your account starts filling it, and you never lift a finger past owning it.
Imagine opening your account at the end of the month and seeing your aircraft has covered its own hangar fees, its insurance, and then some, all while you did nothing but fly it when you felt like it.
No calls to take. No pilots to chase. No paperwork on a Sunday night. Just a plane that earns its keep, a clear statement of what it made, and the freedom to fly it whenever you want.
That's the whole idea. You keep the joy of ownership. We take the parts nobody enjoys.
What changes for you
Here's what your life looks like once your aircraft is with us:
Your aircraft pays for itself.
Hangar, insurance, and upkeep stop being pure cost and start being covered by the flying you're not doing anyway.
Your time stays yours.
No booking requests, no vetting, no back-and-forth. We're the ones answering messages on a Saturday afternoon, not you.
You fly more, not less.
Because the plane is looked after and flown regularly, it's ready when you are. Block your dates and it's yours.
You always know where you stand.
One clear dashboard and a monthly statement show exactly what your aircraft earned and who flew it.
Your aircraft stays in good hands.
Every renter is a vetted, current pilot flying under your rules, and a regularly flown aircraft is a healthier aircraft.
What we handle
Everything between “I own an aircraft” and “money in my account”:
Listing and photos.
We build the listing, price it against your local market, and keep it sharp.
Pilot vetting.
We check every renter's licence, medical, and currency, and arrange a checkout flight to confirm their skills before they fly your aircraft.
Bookings and scheduling.
We run the calendar, confirm requests, and handle every message.
Payments and paperwork.
Rental agreements, invoices, deposits, and payouts, all taken care of.
Handover and returns.
We coordinate keys, briefings, and post-flight checks.
Flight readiness.
Refuelling, preflight checks, and logbook checks, we make sure the aircraft is current and ready before every rental.
Maintenance coordination.
We spot what needs doing and line up your mechanic or club. You approve the work and the cost.
You stay in control
Hands-off doesn't mean out of the loop:
- ✓You set the rules. Who can fly it, minimum hours, how far it can go, and which dates are off-limits because you're flying.
- ✓You keep your insurance and your ownership. We operate inside your policy, never around it, and make sure every renter meets its conditions before they fly.
- ✓You approve the big calls. We handle the day-to-day. Anything that touches your aircraft or your wallet comes to you first.
- ✓You see everything. Every booking, every pilot, and every payout is there in your dashboard.
How it works
Tell us about your aircraft.
A quick call covers the basics: model, home base, hours you want to make available, and any rules you want in place.
We set it up.
Listing, pricing, documents, and calendar, ready to rent. Usually within a few days.
We run it, you get paid.
Bookings come in, pilots get vetted, flights happen, and the income lands in your account. Want to fly it yourself? Block the dates and it's yours.
What it costs
We only earn when your aircraft does. Nothing upfront, no monthly fee, no lock-in. If it doesn't fly, you don't pay.
Every aircraft is different, so we price it as one. What we take depends on your aircraft, your base, and how much you want us to handle, and we agree it with you before anything goes live. Tell us about your plane and we'll come back with a clear number and a realistic idea of what it could earn.
Who it's for
- ✓Owners whose aircraft sits more than it flies.
- ✓People who travel for work, fly seasonally, or just don't want to run a rental business on the side.
- ✓Clubs and schools that want the income without the admin.
