AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT
What the certificate changes for you as an owner
Ownership without the operational burden
We run your aircraft like a dedicated flight department, with your own captain, first officer and flight coordinators, backed by the oversight of our FAA Part 135 certificate. You decide when you fly. We handle everything else.
01 Charter revenue that offsets your costs
When you’re not flying, your aircraft flies paying charter clients, covering a large share of crew, insurance and hangar costs. Your schedule always comes first.
02 Transparent fixed-fee model
One monthly management fee. Crew, fuel, insurance and maintenance billed at actual cost, with 100% of fleet discounts passed back to you.
03 Dedicated team, one point of accountability
Your own aircraft manager and crew handle day-to-day operations, and a company officer is accountable directly to you.
04 Protected asset value
Cycle-aware scheduling, structured maintenance with our long-term partner and complete digital records support your aircraft’s value at resale.
What our certificate means for your aircraft
Part 135 is the FAA’s authorization to fly paying passengers on demand. Operating your aircraft under our certificate means it is held to a higher standard than private Part 91 flying. That includes FAA-approved manuals, recurrent crew training, crew rest limits, drug-and-alcohol testing, and continuous federal oversight.

Your aircraft can earn
Only a certificated operator can legally charter your aircraft. Charter revenue offsets a significant share of your crew, insurance and hangar costs.
A higher safety standard
The same FAA-approved training, maintenance and crew rest rules that protect our charter passengers apply to every flight you take.
One operator, one accountability
Management and charter run under a single certificate, with no third-party operator in between and no question about who is responsible.
Records that protect value
FAA-approved maintenance programs and complete digital records keep your aircraft documented to commercial standards, which matters when it’s time to sell.
The Dassault Falcon specialists
The largest independent Falcon 900 manager in the country.
Portland Jets manages more Falcon 900 aircraft than any independent operator in the country. We built our business around one aircraft family because specialization compounds: our pilots, mechanics, and ground teams know the Falcon 900 the way a marque specialist knows one make of car — deeply, and without divided attention. That focus, now backed by our own FAA Part 135 certificate, is what owners are buying when they choose Portland Jets.
