AC Jets Releases Seven-Point Private Aviation Checklist for Family Offices and Executive Travel Teams

AC Jets has published a seven-point private aviation checklist aimed at helping family offices, executive assistants and executive travel teams evaluate and manage private jet travel with greater consistency and control. The checklist covers defining the mission before selecting an aircraft, maintaining a passenger travel profile for frequent flyers, matching the aircraft to the mission rather than passenger count alone, evaluating the operator, crew and aircraft safety record, assessing airports and routing beyond proximity to the destination, coordinating the full travel experience including catering, customs and ground logistics, and establishing a disruption plan in advance.

Adam Coblin, Founder and CEO of AC Jets, said the goal is to reduce the workload on travel coordinators, adding that the best aviation relationship means understanding the mission in advance, anticipating potential issues and being accountable for the details from the initial request through arrival.

AC Jets states it has access to more than 15,000 aircraft worldwide and is not limited to recommending aircraft from a single fleet. The company says it works with operators vetted under ARGUS and WYVERN safety standards and applies its AC Jets Safety Standard™ to evaluate operator qualifications, pilot experience, aircraft standards, maintenance records, insurance and compliance. It also provides 24/7 mission support before, during and after travel and offers a single point of contact for ongoing client relationships, while noting that hotel accommodations, dining reservations and destination concierge services are typically managed separately by the client or their team.

Coblin said private aviation works best as a relationship, not a series of disconnected transactions, and that understanding how a client travels allows the company to focus on solving the mission instead of repeatedly gathering the same information.
