FAQ

Aircraft management questions

What does aircraft management typically cost?

Management fees vary by aircraft type and usage — talk to our team for a quote specific to your aircraft and mission.

Do I have to base my aircraft at KTTA?

Most managed aircraft are based at Raleigh Executive Jetport for hangar access and technical oversight, but talk to our team about your specific situation.

Can I still fly my aircraft myself under management?

Yes — management handles the operational and financial side of ownership. Many owners fly their own aircraft and use Elite's crew sourcing only when they need a professional pilot.
