Henly Aviation is a bespoke Private Aviation Consultancy service with over 25 years’ experience in providing private jet acquisition, management, charter and maintenance services to a wide range of clients including government, multi-national corporate, celebrity and UHNW individuals.
With almost three decades of experience in the private aviation charter industry, Henly’s team has the capability to arrange private jet and helicopter charter services to its clients worldwide. From light jets for short European sectors to VIP-configured commercial aircraft for intercontinental trips, Henly can provide its clients with the most suitable and cost-effective aircraft for any requirement.
Henly has extensive experience acquiring both new and pre-owned aircraft on behalf of its international clients. Having agreed an acquisition brief and specifically the client’s requirements for range, payload, performance and budget, Henly will use its extensive industry contacts with manufacturers and aircraft brokers worldwide to ensure that the client is presented with a shortlist of airframe options best suited to their brief. Henly can also advise clients on the marketing and resale strategy for their current aircraft and/ or upgrade negotiations with the manufacturer in order to ensure the optimum outcome.
The team at Henly Aviation has over 25 years’ experience advising clients in contract negotiations with manufacturers, ensuring that the aircraft technical specification, certification, training and maintenance packages are tailored to meet the specific needs and priorities of the client.
Once a Purchase Agreement has been signed, Henly can provide an on-going liaison service with the manufacturer on the client’s behalf, regarding production timelines, technical, interior and exterior queries, ensuring a smooth communication process between client and manufacturer. Henly can also provide all relevant advice regarding certification, registration and import requirements and can liaise as necessary with the relevant authorities in the proposed country of registration and operation.
Prior to delivery, Henly’s delivery team will carry out a comprehensive review of production and certification documentation and will carry out an exhaustive aircraft completion survey and flight test programme to ensure that the aircraft is presented to the required standard and is functioning entirely within all operating parameters, prior to recommending contract completion.
Following delivery at the factory, Henly can arrange the ferry flight of the aircraft to the country of operation and can deal on the client’s behalf with local customs and importation regulations, as required.
Henly can arrange the pre-purchase inspection of any pre-owned aircraft shortlisted for acquisition, including the audit of maintenance records, aircraft physical inspection and flight testing, prior to making any purchase recommendation to the client. Henly’s consultants can also advise on matters such as certification, registration, import/ export, operations and maintenance considerations.
Henly works closely with a number of international law firms and is therefore able to ensure clients receive the most relevant advice regarding Sales/ Purchase Contracts, Finance, Aircraft Management and Operating Agreements.
Henly has extensive experience working with specialist Insurance and Finance providers and can advise clients on any applicable requirements relating to the proposed operation of the aircraft.
Registration, management, crewing, training and maintenance requirements will be determined by the precise nature of the proposed operation, i.e. whether the aircraft is to be operated entirely for the Owner’s use, or whether it is anticipated that there may be an element of charter (Public Transport) use. The two alternative operating regimes are fundamentally different, the latter requiring a commercial Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) and operating licence issued by the country of registration. Henly’s Consultants can advise clients on the merits or otherwise of proposed operating regimes and the relevant management and operating structures required.
Henly Aviation also has extensive experience in the recruitment of Flight Deck and Cabin Crew, ensuring that candidates have the right combination of qualifications, experience, personality and demonstrated ability to operate effectively in the context of the proposed operation.
Henly’s partner company, CMS, as a provider of specialist Risk Management services, is able to provide relevant security advice and procedures in respect to the operation of private aircraft, ensuring the safety and security of passengers, crew and the aircraft itself when operating away from base.
