EASA Air Operator Certificate · One European Market

Launch your own European airline.
We run it. You own it.

We bring the management team your airline needs to get certified and fly. Whether you're starting from zero or already operating aircraft without an EASA certificate, we take you from AOC certification to daily operations, maintenance oversight and crew — a complete operation, delivered under one roof.

The opportunity

Why hold an AOC in the EASA area

An EASA Air Operator Certificate (AOC) is not a local licence. It is a passport to the single largest aviation market in Europe — recognised, without re-certification, across every EASA member state.

One market, no borders

Operate freely across the entire European single aviation market under a single certificate — no country-by-country re-approval.

Mutual recognition

An EASA certificate carries instant credibility with authorities, lessors, insurers and partners across the continent.

Premium certificate, lean cost base

Choose the EASA jurisdiction that fits your strategy — fiscal, operational or geographic — and pair a top-tier European certificate with a cost structure that works for you.

Charter, tourism, ACMI, scheduled services — one certificate opens all of Europe. The market is there. What stands between an investor and the first flight is the certification path, the postholders, and the day-to-day management. That is exactly what we provide.
Who we are

The management team your airline needs

Whether you're building from zero or already flying aircraft that need an EASA certificate, the same thing stands between you and the European market: a complete management team. That team is the real first step — no authority grants an AOC without it. We bring it, already in place, with one experienced postholder for every function your AOC requires.

Decades of combined experience across flight operations, crew planning, safety oversight and regulatory compliance with EASA operators.

Members of our team have already helped bring new air operators through to certification, and remain active in the industry today — proof we're glad to share with you, and to put to work in the same team with you.

We take the operation on and run it — certification, operations, maintenance oversight, crew, regulatory representation — while ownership and control stay entirely with you.

What we deliver

One operation, under one roof

Take the full operation as one package, or call on any single service on its own. Everything below is delivered and invoiced by us as a single provider — how each role is staffed behind the scenes is our job to manage. You deal with one team, one contract, one point of accountability.

01

AOC certification management

End-to-end management of the certification path with the competent national authority — documentation, manuals, demonstrations and approval.

02

Accountable Manager & postholders

We provide a qualified Accountable Manager and the full set of nominated postholders, appointed by your company — without any equity or ownership stake.

03

Flight operations & planning

Crew planning, FTL compliance and supplier contracts — the daily operational engine of the airline.

04

Continuing airworthiness & maintenance

CAMO oversight and maintenance coordination to keep the fleet airworthy and compliant.

05

Aviation HR

Recruitment, selection and management of flight and cabin crew — the people who make your operation run.

06

Crew planning & crew control

Rostering, FTL compliance, real-time crew control and disruption handling — available remotely to any operator, anywhere in the world.

07

Regulatory representation & corporate support

Liaison and representation before the authority, contract structuring, accounting and administrative support.

08

Qualified aviation staffing

Need a single certified professional rather than a whole operation? We place qualified, certified personnel for any aviation role — postholders, pilots, cabin crew, crew planning, CAMO and more — for established operators too, with no AOC project required.

09

Operations Control Centre (OCC)

The nerve centre of your airline — real-time oversight of every flight, with flight dispatch and crew control working as one. We monitor operations, handle disruptions and keep aircraft and crews moving, around the clock.

10

Staff travel

Accommodation, transfers and ticketing for your crews, managed end to end — the best rates and seamless logistics, so crews arrive rested and on time.

Training & Academy

A trained crew is a flying asset

An aircraft earns nothing on the ground. We deliver the full EASA training pipeline that turns your investment into qualified, line-ready crew — for your own operation, or as a standalone service.

Pilot training

The complete modular path from first licence to airline-ready, delivered to EASA standards.

  • PPL
  • CPL
  • Modular ATPL
  • IR
  • ME
  • Night rating

Type ratings

Aircraft-specific qualification on the workhorses of the European fleet, with instructors rated to examine.

  • Airbus A320
  • Boeing 737
  • TRI / TRE
  • Simulator

Cabin crew & beyond

EASA-certified cabin crew training, plus any other licensed role your operation calls for.

  • Cabin crew
  • Recurrent
  • Safety & emergency
  • And more
Every qualification we deliver is a revenue-ready professional in your operation — crew that earns, an operation that scales, a name the market trusts. Whether you're building a workforce from the ground up or filling a single seat, the training is ours to provide and yours to profit from.
The path to your AOC

From idea to first flight

The certification route is well defined. We know it, and we walk it for you — five stages, managed end to end.

1

Information & intent

Initial engagement with the authority and definition of the operation you intend to run.

2

Formal application

Submission of the application — filed well ahead of your intended start of operations.

3

Documentation review

Manuals, procedures and the management structure are assessed against EASA requirements.

4

Demonstrations & inspections

Operational demonstrations and inspections prove the airline can operate safely and compliantly.

5

Certificate issued

The AOC is granted — and the operation moves into day-to-day running, which we continue to manage.

Every certification is a journey we know well. It's a structured process, and like any worthwhile undertaking it rewards preparation and a steady hand. We map the path with you from the start and manage it end to end — so momentum stays with you, all the way to your certificate.
