Expertise
AIRcRAFT SALES
IFS’s staff has been either directly employed or an official sales representative for both fixed & rotary-wing aircraft manufacturers, having internal corporate experience with 6 manufacturers:(AgustaWestland/Leonardo, Airbus, Boeing, Cessna, Hawker-Beechcraft & Sikorsky/UTC/LockheedMartin). Let us help you find the best solution balancing technical, financial and strategic factors.
AVIATION REGULATIONS
Demystifying aviation regulations and legalities is essential for individuals & businesses considering certain ventures or events involving aviation. More often than not, a lack of awareness of the regulations results in a disappointment and comes at a cost. Ignoring these critical legalities is unfortunately commonplace in many countries. Ignoring the realities of regulations & operating restrictions is a sure path to failure and IFS is well-versed in a variety of countries. More importantly, we research and confirm the validity of certain key elements of your operation to ensure it will be legal and compliant ; we don’t provide just opinion - it is based on true facts. Contact IFS to prevent expensive problems.
AIR CHARTER & RENTAL CONTRACTS
The world of air charters can be fraught with complications, loopholes and grey areas. IFS’s experience on both sides of air charters can save you & your business money and add levels of safety. Of course safety is first - but reliability, cost-effectiveness & legal/financial exposure is important also. Whether for a one-time charter to a long term charter or lease, we have the operational and contractual expertise to ensure your experience is optimized.
AVIATION BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Asia Pacific region can be a bit like the wild west. Surprises are frequently encountered which can wreak havoc with business planning. Whether a clean-sheet startup or a new endeavour for an established company, strategy is key. When embarking on the journey it is best to have clear vision and recognize all the key strategic factors to maximise your likelihood of success. One small piece of information can easily pay for itself 100 times over. Let IFS add to your vision with experienced insight to chart a path to success.
AIRCRAFT MANAGEMENT
Choosing the right company for the aircraft you are purchasing will definitely save you from headaches of ownership, save you money and may even save your life. In addition, we will ensure your pilots and technicians are not just someone you agree to because of a family or business connection but actually the best that you can get when starting off and flying you long term. Citing the well known expression “Safety is expensive - but an accident is even more costly”, it is always better to take a proactive approach. IFS can help you fully enjoy the benefits of aircraft ownership with IFS’s no-nonsense and transparent management ethos.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS.
Any business needs sound financial planning and execution to have a chance to succeed. Although IFS is not composed of financial experts, we do have significant experience in aviation finances. Whether setting up routes to destinations or financing a purchase, IFS has decades of experience and possesses the financial data to calculate and project your aviation costs - including acquisition, importation, crews & variable operational costs.
