a private jet merits a high quality management strategy to address the complex issues that
come with private jet ownership.
Rakjet, a newly launched UAEbased aviation management company, offers a complete aircraft
management service to private jet
owners. Leveraging over 60 years
combined experience in the market, Rakjet can offer significant
savings on aircraft insurance, fuel
costs, maintenance supervision
and repairs, crew accommodation, permits and parking location.
In addition, from dealing with regulatory authorities to recruitment
of crew and dealing with handling
agents, Rakjet offers total solutions to take the headache out
of private jet ownership and provide cost effective management.
Hugh Courtenay, Founder of
Rakjet, stated “Rakjet has an
operational reach that extends
around the globe which will allow
us to take care of all our clients’
private jet requirements, no matter
their operations or destination.”
With
monthly
management
fees between USD5,000 to
USD10,000, depending on aircraft size the jet owner is set to
make considerable savings by
engaging Rakjet with a tailormade management contract.
“Rakjet can also offer owners
the chance to offset operating costs by chartering the aircraft when it is not being used
by the owner,” added Courtenay.
