Private jet travel is all about experiencing, comfort, flexibility, the ease. But for Part 135 operators working behind the scenes, delivering that experience is anything but simple. Every trip involves dozens of moving pieces — scheduling aircraft, assigning crew, managing maintenance, handling customer requests, coordinating ground services — often under tight deadlines and high expectations.
And while the customer only sees the polished surface, operators know the reality: the work is manual, systems don’t always talk to each other, and costs add up fast.
The answer lies in two things:
1. Building a Global Competency Center (GCC) to handle repeatable, non-core tasks
2. Using technology to simplify, automate, and connect your operations
Let’s break it down.
Most operational pain points for private jet companies come down to a few common themes:
Every department uses its own tool — one for scheduling, another for crew management, another for maintenance. None of them talk to each other naturally. That means people waste hours doing manual data entry, chasing down updates, and fixing errors.
Your most skilled dispatchers and ops staff are spending time on things like:
These tasks are critical — but they’re not where your experts should spend most of their time.
Private aviation comes with paperwork — lots of it. From FAA requirements to safety checklists to maintenance records, staying compliant is a constant drain on resources when it’s done manually.
Without integrated systems, it’s hard to answer basic but important questions like:
When decisions are based on gut feel instead of data, cost control goes out the window.
A GCC isn’t about outsourcing for the sake of it — it’s about building a smart support engine that takes care of repeatable operational tasks so your core team can focus on what matters most: safety, customer experience, and growth.
Here’s how a GCC can change the game for Part 135 operators:
Moving backend tasks — like trip quoting, documentation, or invoice processing — to skilled teams in lower-cost regions can immediately reduce overhead without sacrificing quality.
A Global Competency Center that runs on well-defined Standard Operating Procedures. This means fewer errors, faster turnaround times, and more consistent service — whether it’s a flight leaving New York or Miami.
As flight demand goes up or down, your GCC can flex with you — adding resources without the hassle of recruiting and training new local staff every season.
Your in-house staff can focus on what customers actually notice — fast problem-solving, personal service, safety management — not backend paperwork.
The best version of a GCC works hand-in-hand with smart technology. Here’s what that looks like:
Bring all your tools — scheduling, crew management, maintenance, accounting — into one connected ecosystem. No more copy-pasting data between systems.

Use automation for repetitive tasks like:
Let bots handle the busy-work.
Moving your core systems to the cloud means your team (and your GCC) can work from anywhere, access data in real-time, and collaborate effortlessly.
