In the past five years, San Diego area Part 135 operator Schubach Aviation has seen the average age of its charter clients move lower, from 62 in 2015 to 56 at the end of 2019. “When we really looked at the information, we realized we added more new clients under the age of 40, which prompted us to take a look at the numbers and look at our average age. And sure enough, every year it was slowly going down,” Schubach president and owner Kimberly Herrell told AIN.
