Aircraft management means a specialist company runs your aircraft for you. ASM Air is an aircraft management company based in Dubai, providing aircraft management services to private jet owners across the UAE and the wider region. We coordinate trip support and flight operations, crew, maintenance oversight, regulatory compliance, insurance and accounting within the agreed management scope. You keep full control and receive clear monthly reports.
What Our Aircraft Management Services Include
No two aircraft or ownership profiles are identical. Before proposing a structure, ASM Air reviews the aircraft’s technical status, intended utilisation, operating region, current contracts, crew requirements and owner-access priorities.
Depending on eligibility and agreed scope, the management programme may include:
Flight Operations
Dispatch, flight planning and 24/7 operational watch for every trip.
Crew Management
Crew management covering selection, licence checks, recurrent training and roster planning.
Continuing airworthiness (CAMO)
Continuing airworthiness management, maintenance planning, technical records and compliance tracking.
Regulatory Compliance
GCAA requirements, documentation and safety oversight, end to end.
Financial Reporting
Monthly statements covering costs, charter income and activity.
Insurance and Fuel
Insurance and fuel arrangements reviewed against the aircraft's needs; available rates and terms depend on the agreement.
Mission Support
Permits, handling, fuel and catering coordinated for every flight of your aircraft.
What Does Aircraft Management Cost?
Aircraft management fees depend on the aircraft type, how many hours you fly and which services you need. Rather than quote a headline figure, we set out the full picture: the management fee, the costs it controls, and the charter income that can offset them.

Earn From Your Aircraft
Aircraft utilisation varies by owner and mission profile, while fixed operating costs continue between flights. Where the aircraft is eligible and the owner agrees, ASM Air can discuss charter use when the aircraft is available, with enquiries managed through ASM Charter. Owner access, approved charter use and booking terms are agreed in advance. Charter income may offset some operating costs when flights are commercially feasible.
Ownership Decisions Beyond Aircraft Management
Private jet ownership brings freedom and responsibility in equal measure. Regulatory obligations, crew employment, maintenance planning and cost control continue whether you fly or not. Professional aircraft management transfers that workload to a team that does it daily, while you keep every ownership benefit.

How to Choose an Aircraft Management Company
When comparing aircraft management companies, ask who holds operational responsibility, which crew and airworthiness functions are provided in-house, and how subcontracted work is overseen. Request a sample cost report, an agreed escalation contact and a transition plan. Use our aircraft management provider selection checklist to compare service scope, reporting and owner access before reviewing a proposal.
How Onboarding Works
Consultation.
We review your aircraft, operating base, annual flight hours and current contracts. Maintenance status, technical records and crew coverage help define the transition scope and initial operating budget.
Proposal.
A clear management plan and cost structure.
Transition.
The transition schedule depends on the aircraft, records, crew and required approvals. We agree an operational handover plan with the owner before taking over management.
