Partners + Capital

You built it. Let's scale it.

You built something that matters. A Part 145 shop. A flight school. A charter operation held together by your name on the certificate. Now succession is here, capital is tight, and FAA mandates keep stacking. We've managed fleets, passed audits, and held the yoke. Let's talk, operator to operator.

The options on the table aren't great. We know.

We're not suits with spreadsheets. We're operators with capital.

Existing Options:

  1. Sell to a PE firm that sends consultants who've never seen a hangar floor.

  2. Hand the keys to a family member who isn't ready.

  3. Let the business stagnate while you figure it out.

  4. Or worse, let the FAA backlog and SMS mandates slowly erode what you've spent decades building.

None of those honor what you built.

  • We speak your language. Part 135, Part 145, SMS 2027. We've held ATP certificates, managed turbine fleets, passed FAA audits, and navigated FSDO offices. When we walk your hangar, we see what generalists miss.

  • We respect the legacy. You didn't build this so someone could strip it for parts. We professionalize operations, invest in your people, and position the business for its next 20 years.

  • We move fast. When succession windows open or capital needs hit, we close decisively. No six-month diligence marathons driven by analysts who don't know a torque wrench from a turbine blade.

  • We stay involved. This isn't a wire transfer and a wave goodbye. Our team embeds operationally: centralized dispatch, digitalized compliance, predictive maintenance, institutional governance. We build alongside you.

Have questions?

Real conversations, real answers. We keep this operator-to-operator and fully confidential.

  • Yes. We sign an NDA early, limit distribution internally, and keep outreach tight. No broker blast unless you want one.

  • Anything aviation related that meets our 25% EBITDA and enterprise value of $10M+ works. This includes but isn’t limited to: Part 145 MRO and component shops, flight training (Part 141/61), mission-ready services, Part 135 operators, parts and distribution, light manufacturing, and compliance or operational software tied for aviation, etc.

  • No. We can structure majority control, minority growth capital, or a recap with meaningful seller rollover. The goal is alignment, not financial gymnastics. Options include:

    • Majority buyouts

    • Minority investments

    • Recapitalizations with meaningful rollover

    • Tailored liquidity outcomes

  • We underwrite on normalized earnings and operational reality: technician depth, QA/SMS readiness, certificate posture, customer concentration, and how scalable the platform is with the right systems.

  • We don’t buy to strip. We buy to build. Retaining technicians, leadership continuity, and preserving the culture is usually a value driver, not a cost.

  • Yes. We embed operationally: compliance systems, dispatch or scheduling workflows, KPI cadence, vendor renegotiations, and technology upgrades.

  • A high-level overview: services, certificates, rough financials, and what you want next (exit, recap, growth, succession). We’ll do the heavy lift from there.
