Crew:

Experienced and well trained pilots are the backbone of Southern Air Systems. Pilots are pre-screened including references, FAA EIS/AID background checks, Federal drug testing program and flight competency checks. Thereafter at regular intervals all pilots are rechecked in the type of aircraft that they are piloting utilizing the F.A.A.'s strictest flight check criteria. These safeguards along with simulator based and our continuous in-house training programs produce some of the best pilots in the industry.

Training:

Southern Air Systems prides itself as one of the few Corporate Aircraft operations with a continuous in-house training program. This allows a more regular and cohesive training regime than that of sending your pilots to school once a year for a week. Like all forms of learning, continuous is always better than cram or rote style learning. Our process is further augmented through the use of SIMUFLITE ™ and FLIGHTSAFETY's ™ full motion simulator programs. Southern Air Systems enjoys "Fleet training partner" status, which allows substantially reduced rates, which are directly passed on to the customer. Additionally, the customer only pays for training once per year regardless of pilot situation.

Insurance:

Although not a requirement to contract through our fleet insurance policy, Southern Air Systems Insurance policy is contracted through the largest aircraft insurers and owners enjoy a unique position in the industry and are able to benefit from a top tier policy with a host of additional benefits, coverages and discounts only available to larger fleet policies.

Chart Services:

Southern Air Systems is an F.A.A. authorized chart distributor for F.A.A. and Department of Defense charts worldwide. This is to insure world chart availability and currency for our customers at all times. Chart costs to the owner are heavily discounted. Southern Air Systems is also flight-testing the new "paperless cockpit" charts and will implement the program when appropriate.

Fuel Discount Programs:

Southern Air Systems utilizes several fuel savings programs and services to attain prices far below what a single aircraft and most fleet operators could ever hope to obtain. Fuel costs to an aircraft owner will often be the largest single item of which there is a substantial degree of control and which can make or break an aircraft's operational budget. Southern Air Systems is very aggressive towards fuel pricing and can assure you some of the best pricing you can find anywhere. Our staff on a daily basis insures the prices we receive are competitive whether a "spot" basis or through fuel contract.

Hangar Availabilities:

Southern Air Systems maintains arrangements with several hangar vendors at various airports and will negotiate space for owners at any airport. Additionally, we command over 100,000 square feet of hangar space for our customer's storage and maintenance needs at various locations.

Customs:

Southern Air Systems fleet aircraft are authorized by the United States Customs Service / T.S.A. to utilize "over flight permits" as well as TSA waivers which allow the owner's aircraft to by-pass "first airport" landing procedures and allows point to point flights from most international departure points back to the home port.
