About Airplane Intel:  Professionals, entrepreneurs, executives, and successful individuals require a fast, reliable, and safe means of travel to and from their residences or businesses in Central Florida to distant and often remote locations within the United States and abroad. While traditional forms of travel such as ground transportation and commercial airlines offer certain advantages, they are not as flexible, convenient, secure, or efficient as private air travel. 

 

Imagine having the freedom to fly where you need to go, when you need to be there, without the inefficiencies, hassles, or delays of flying commercial or driving. Imagine being able to take your family on a weekend getaway, meeting your buddies for an afternoon round of golf in the Bahamas, or closing a deal with an important client halfway across the country and being home for dinner. These are not pipe dreams; these are realities experienced by our clients every day as aircraft owners and operators.

 

While many may assume that private aviation is exorbitant, flashy, and exclusive to the ultrarich, the average traveler fails to realize that private air travel is more affordable and accessible than ever before. Many individuals and organizations leverage the value proposition only offered by private air travel to achieve personal and business objectives. In fact, even the average frequent flyer can afford private air travel. Private air travel, also known as General Aviation (GA) supports 1.2 million jobs and generates more than $247 billion in economic output. Users of private air travel are among the most successful, productive, and effective people in America and have a positive financial and economic impact on local communities across the country – communities like Ocala, and others throughout Central Florida.

 

However, aircraft ownership is not a simple undertaking. It requires an enormous amount of research, planning, and logistics to keep an operation viable, healthy, and cost-effective. Without the right team, buying, maintaining, and managing an aircraft is complex, confusing, and risky.  Aircraft owners and operators demand unbiased advice and reliable support services such as management, maintenance, and streamlined operations to ensure their success. That’s where we come in.
