Part 135 Operators Can Keep A Full Belly
Part 135 Operators know
how costly it is to have an "empty-leg" mission. To get the most
return on their investment, these folks want to have their aircraft
in the air and carrying passengers. Enter OneSky Jets. It
has found a niche market for itself in the private jet sector.
The company's mission is to bring together the Part 135 Operators
with their potential clients and it is all done over the
internet.
A SkyJet Membership is not a fractional jet owership nor does
not require an up-front capital outlay. Rather, it is an "on
demand, pay as you go" program which gives the client a lot of
choices, and the Part 135 owners exposure to potential customers.
How it works is very simple. A client logs onto the OneSky Jets'
website and enters some criteria. OneSky Jets then matches this
customer's needs to a Part 135 Operator in its data base who can
best accomodate the client. OneSky Jets acts as a consultant for
the client and a broker for the Part 135 Operator. OneSkys'
philosophy is "you should never have an ordinary flight."
To be selected by the company, the Part 135 Operator must meet
the ARGUS Gold Standard. Contrary to their name, OneSky Jets does
not limit itself to jets, but also offers turbo-prop aircraft
service as well. Justin Sullivan, VP of Sales said that the
company's mission was to "make aviation available to everyone." The
client can choose the type, make, model and can even select
aircraft by N number.
"If someone has had a particularly good experience with one of
our carriers," said Justin Sullivan, "they often request the same
aircraft again."
OneSky Jets can accommodate requests and reservations for
aircraft service in as little as 12 hours in advance.
