Aircraft management, brokerage, charter and jet card provider TWC Aviation (Booth No. 5334) announced a new program providing six months of aircraft management at no charge for clients who purchase an aircraft through TWC. 
The Van Nuys, Calif. company noted that aircraft buyers face a wide range of entry-into-service responsibilities, from warranty transfers to crew recruitment and training, and the six months of free management will relieve buyers of many of the hassles and start up costs associated with placing a recently purchased aircraft into operation. TWC anticipates the value added service will also encourage more sellers to list their aircraft with TWC, to capture the attention of qualified buyers. 
This is the third new program that TWC Aviation has introduced this year. TWC previously unveiled a guaranteed charter revenue program for aircraft owners seeking to optimize charter revenue, and the Debonair Jet Card for air charter clients. 
“This offer is another example of how TWC innovations add value to traditional services,” said Scott Cutshall, TWC’s vice president of marketing. “We will continue to pioneer unique solutions to meet the needs of our customers.”
