To simplify the aircraft ownership experience, Dallas Jet International (DJI), together with several other aviation-related companies, has moved to a new 18,000 square foot building  in Colleyville Texas with several other aviation-related businesses.

There is a natural synergy that happens when companies share a building – especially one that has some common facilities like meeting areas.  Simply sharing a cup of coffee can lead to a productive working relationship or the solution to a complex problem.

“When a client has a question about helicopters, for example, we can simply walk down the hall with them and have a conversation with the experts on that topic.”

Here are some snapshots from the construction project:

 

Aircraft ownership is a complex experience that often requires expert assistance in a variety of fields. DJI has a long history of building trusted relationships among an extensive network of companies in aviation, finance, law, accounting, and other specialties that can assist their clients.

Any aircraft owner will tell you that the primary motivation for aircraft ownership is the ability to do more in less time.

One of our clients, an oil and gas professional in the United States, recently had a day like this:

  • Left Fort Worth in the morning for a work site in Williston, ND.
  • Attended meetings in Bismarck, ND.
  • Changed plans when the last meeting at Bismarck was cancelled, used the time to stop in to resolve a problem in Oklahoma City.
  • Arrived home in Fort Worth in time for dinner with the family.

Benefits to the Aircraft Owner

Besides the unequaled schedule flexibility that aircraft ownership provides, there are other benefits that may not be as obvious but can be equally valuable.

  • The airplane becomes a mobile office, complete with needed electronics, communications equipment, a luxurious conference room, and a secured place to keep files and equipment.
  • You can collaborate with your flight crew to safely adapt to changing business and weather situations.  A resourceful corporate pilot has more flexibility than airline pilots, can find ways to get you where you need to be, getting around weather and high traffic situations.
  • The crew can be vetted and have confidentiality agreements in place.  The only people on board are those that you approve.
  • Luggage and equipment can be left on the airplane so you’re ready to go at a moment’s notice. Many aircraft owners keep business and personal items on board for the flexibility to stay an extra day (or several days) if they encounter a situation that requires it.
  • Luggage can be accessed in flight (rather than checked or shipped.)

You can certainly put a price on aircraft ownership. We specialize in creating cost-effective solutions for your specific needs.

You cannot put a price on time, flexibility, confidentiality and safety.

Give us a call today at 817-328-2900 and let’s talk about how aircraft ownership can simplify your business life.
