Aviastra Flight Charter Ltd becomes proud member of BACA…

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Aviastra Flight Charter Ltd is now a proud member of the Baltic Air Charter Association (BACA). BACA represents the interests of commercial aviation companies particularly in the air charter industry.

In 1976 BACA opened membership to include airlines and other non-members of the Exchange who could show they run their aviation business to the same high standards of the original association. The name changed from ‘Airbrokers Association to the Baltic Air Charter Association.

Within BACA’s website there is a list of members and the rules which must be complied with, including;

  • to maintain the highest professional standards in their day-to-day business activities &
  • to carry out due diligence, to their best endeavours, in order to establish that any operator they engage for a flight or flights is properly licenced, insured, documented and competent, and that the aircraft to be used is airworthy and properly maintained.

New Aircraft, Short Runways

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

For many years it has been difficult to get in and out of some of the very small airfields in and around the UK. That time is over!

Over the last few months several operators have enetred into service the Britten Norman Islander. This industry classic, used by the Channel Island airlines and across the world is one of the most capable and safe aircraft.

This aircraft seats 8 passenegrs or can be reconfigured for 6 in more comfort. It is short range with limited in flight facilities (ther is no toilet!) but carries a tremendous amount of luggage.

Now almost any licensed airfield is available for charter, even those with very short runways like Alderney in the Channel Islands or grass runways in tricky winters such as Redhill just south of London.

Aviastra Flight Managers look forward to supplying ever-competative quotes for this superb addition to what it can offer.
