FAQ

Aircraft management questions

What does aircraft management typically cost?

Management fees vary by aircraft type and usage — talk to our team for a quote specific to your aircraft and mission.

Can I still fly my aircraft myself under management?

Yes — management handles the operational and financial side of ownership. Many owners fly their own aircraft and use Elite's crew sourcing only when they need a professional pilot.
