While privacy is a key attribute that private aviation delivers for its customers, from the outside, and even for insiders, the industry can appear opaque. According to consultants at ACC Aviation, the charter and fractional ownership sector in particular would benefit from much greater financial transparency—especially at a time when it seems to be in a state of flux.
In its recently published report, Private Aviation Business Models and Financing Strategies, the ACC team warns that investors and consumers are dealing with an industry that is “ripe for misinformation and misinterpretation, especially at this time of record capital investment and contrasting operator failure.” The authors, led by senior associate consulting Naishal Chag, say they have tried to generate greater transparency about the financial state of key players, but admit that this has proved hard due to gaps in available information that make it hard to assess how resilient and sustainable the service providers are.
