European aircraft management and charter group Skyfirst is preparing to add to the five jets it already operates as it seeks a higher profile in the market. According to founder and CEO Olivier Perdriel, the privately owned company seeks relationships with aircraft owners who appreciate the value of highly personalized service through a sense of partnership with the operator.

Since the Covid pandemic, Perdriel has seen shifting private aviation priorities among high-net-worth individuals. “Clients are increasingly focused on the efficiency of operations,” he told AIN. “More of them are approaching us because they know we are reliable and reliability has been an issue [in the aircraft management sector].”
