Formed by high-time pilots and skilled aviation professionals, safety is the cornerstone of Austin Aviation’s business model. With our in-depth knowledge and experience within the aviation industry, we hold charter operators to higher and stricter standards and criteria set forth by Austin Aviation. In general, charter operators must exceed the requirements set forth by the FAA as well as:

• Hold at least an ARG/US Gold or Wyvern Rating
• Have a history of ZERO major or fatal accidents
• Have been in business for at least 5 years

An example of a preventative incident is the 2005 accident at Teterboro Airport involving a Challenger 600. The pilots did not properly check weight and balance of the aircraft as they were trying to save money by adding fuel beyond proper limits.  The jet could not get airborne and ran off the runway, over a highway, and crashed into a nearby building. Serious injuries resulted. The pilots and company executives faced criminal charges. Such incidents can easily be avoided — Austin Aviation makes safety our highest priority.

With these high standards,  Austin Aviation will not necessarily look for the least expensive flight but rather the safest, most dependable, and most efficient charter.  You can be certain, we have taken the greatest care to ensure that there are no surprises and that you arrive safely at  your destination.  Austin Aviation will make your travel experience effortless so you can think about your next board meeting or alumni outing or golf game….. ]]> http://www.flyaustinaviation.com/2009/11/austin-aviation-safety/feed/ 0 http://www.flyaustinaviation.com/2009/11/about-austin-aviation/ http://www.flyaustinaviation.com/2009/11/about-austin-aviation/#comments Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:25:35 +0000 studios3 http://www.flyaustinaviation.com/?p=108 Austin Aviation is like having your own flight department at the touch of a dial. Our choice not to own aircraft as an air charter broker allows us to act as an unbiased agent on behalf of our clients. Our team at Austin Aviation will access various companies who own and operate a fleet, compare their prices, negotiate with the charter providers, make appropriate recommendations to you – the passenger, and thus allow you to make an informed decision based on facts. Austin Aviation is able to provide you with both the lowest cost and highest quality aircraft possible, therefore saving you precious time and money.

With our expertise (most of Austin Aviation’s team of experts are high time pilots–a valuable asset in the air charter broker business), we have developed a unique flight planning system that minimizes travel time: with access to the approximately 5,500 airports in the United States serviceable to general aviation vs. the 600 airports used by commercial airlines, Austin Aviation will find an airport closer to your departure and arrival destination, minimizing your time in transit.

Austin Aviation will provide a dependable, convenient, and valuable service without membership fees, aircraft management fees, or upfront capital costs. We will find the best and safest aircraft available for your trip.
