How to Start an Air Taxi Service
Getting an Air Taxi Service startedAs for the OR, trying to do a career by setting up an airline won't get you a flight career, it'll get you a desktop career, while you're trying to handle the crazy financials, overwhelming regulators, and sometimes hard-to-manage staff, while you're trying to get to the right place from time to time.
This will take all the pleasure out of the work and you will have less cash than you began (if you are fortunate, that is, if you are not, you will be abandoned with nothing). Simply be patience, networked, seize opportunity if you can get into the business, even if it's not as a driver, and I say again, be PAY and go ahead.
Foundation of an Air Taxi company
It was my intention to found an air taxi company in the north east with a circus and a turbo prop like a trailer, Kodiak or a GPS12NG. It'?d be a certification for individual pilots, 9 or less company places. I' ve been told that there are part 135 allowances for purchase and have wondered if they are even really valuable or should I start a whole new one?
Before I start, what should I ask myself? Thought about doing the same thing with the same airplanes haha. It was my intention to found an air taxi company in the north east with a circus and a turbo prop like a trailer, Kodiak or a GPS12NG.

When you plan to start your own business, good luck and get in line. While the only viable alternative is to "buy" a certificate, keep in mind that the certificate is not a saleable good in itself - it must be purchased with at least one aircraft. What often happens with small (single pilots / perhaps a small base certificate) is that the vendor places a Cessna on the certificate and then sells the certificate with the aircraft.
Then you buy the certificate, copy it to your own flight certificate, put the desired aircraft (or aircraft) on the certificate, resell the Cessna (or keep it if you want to use it as a coach or your own flight bird) and continue. When you plan to start your own business, good luck and get in line.

In general, the LLC that holds the certificate. However, you do not need to own the aircraft shown on the certificate. I have been looking at this topic for a long time because I want to start my own 135 business in the nearer future. You just have to have endurance (much of it!), text processing abilities, FURTHER wisdom and some connection, oh and last but not least - a good plane and good moneys!

He' s speaking of a 135 cer. pilots. By the way, if I recall right, you can only have one plane on the certificate. and possibly a "back-up" plane.
