  • Aircraft Management

Your Aircraft. Your Crew. Your Schedule. 24/7 Readiness.

Custom-designed Sterling Aviation aircraft management programs offer our owner clients the assurance of safety, impeccable maintenance, confidentiality, security and 24/7 aircraft availability. We allow clients to conduct business and enjoy personal lifestyles according to their needs and schedules. We understand, respect and appreciate the value of our clients' time, and the enhanced quality of life that private aircraft provide.

Perhaps you're considering aircraft ownership for the first time, or are not fully satisfied with your current aircraft management firm. We would be delighted to tailor a proposal that addresses your unique needs, drawing on decades of experience in private aircraft ownership, operations, management and charter.

The owners of Sterling Aviation also have a strong appreciation of corporate flight departments, having used aircraft in their own business endeavors (as well as personally) for over 30 years. While we recognize that flight departments may in some cases be preferable to managed aircraft, we also know that an aircraft utilized less than 400 hours annually is unlikely to be cost effective to the owner. If this describes your situation, Sterling can help you generate charter revenue to offset the operating costs of your aircraft investment - all within a framework that meets your needs for personal and business aircraft availability.

As a member of the Sterling family, our owner clients enjoy significant cost advantages from our fuel farm in Milwaukee. We can offer savings and discounts on other operating costs, including hull and liability insurance and, in some cases, maintenance items that can be performed at our in-house facility. We can also provide trained and competent crew backup services for your own flight operations.

    • Every owner is treated as an individual, with a management plan tailored to his or her unique needs and travel profile.

For over 20 years, Sterling Aviation has been managing our owners' aircraft in a seamless, safe, confidential and cost-effective manner. We take great pride in simplifying aircraft ownership and its accompanying responsibility, thus allowing our clients to enjoy the benefits without worrying about the process. From aircraft selection and acquisition, to crew selection, training, maintenance, payroll, regulatory compliance, operational summaries and accounting, Sterling does it all.
