It has become very apparent that we have entered into a long period of financial stagnation which has lead to less work, lower pay and subsequently much lower disposable income being available. The length of this stagnation period is currently predicted at being of a 10 year duration and this poses great difficulty to all types of business especially flight training organisations.

In such times of recession, business must adapt to survive and simply operating in the same way as in the good times is a recipe for going bust. In terms of flight training provision during times of recession, the best business patterns are those of cooperative, mutual or alliance structures which aspire success to all players: customers, employees, employers, companies and investors alike.

The Delivery of quality cost effective training is challenging and in difficult times the main ingredient of a recession proof business (according to the "alliance" business model) is to group the best team of individual consultants available, structure them accordingly in an interacting framework (free trading environment) and keep the alliance operating effectively by strengthening and creating further alliances as required.

If you are running a major global operation from a busy commercial city like London, the last thing you want disrupting your business is an international event such as the Olympics taking place on your doorstep.
 
The Olympics will bring business and clients to the UK, boosting the economy and giving London companies a big lift. However, whilst there are benefits, there will also be some disadvantages such as congestion and volumes of people bringing overcrowding to public transport networks, grid lock to the road network and a lack of plane tickets serving domestic and international routes.  
 
Keeping to your regular transport arrangements during this period is going to be a challenge in this two month period. At Aero Alliance, we believe we have a corporate solution to this problem keeping firms who need to travel free from congestion offering a fast means of transport in and out of London from all parts of the UK, Europe and beyond.

There has been much debate and controversy about when Heathrow's third runway is going to be built. So it may come as a big surprise to everyone, but Aero Alliance would like to point out that “Heathrow's third runway” already exists and is fully operational between the hours of 07:00 and 22:00, seven days a week.
For executive businessmen arriving at Heathrow we can provide a connecting service to an aircraft ready to fly at a price which is cost effective. From walking through the arrivals gate at Terminal 5, we can have a limousine driver deliver you to an active private runway 10 miles from Heathrow in less than 25 minutes where a plane will be on standby to fly you to where ever you want to go in the UK, Europe and beyond.

During the Christmas holiday period, we were tasked to fly a Hong Kong businessman and his family from Shoreham to meet Dutch friends and relatives in the town of Eelde. Our client was flying into Gatwick from Trinidad, staying with his daughter in Brighton for Christmas before returning to China in the New Year. He needed a swift and comfortable way of getting to and from Holland in a day, maximising quality family time and minimising time lost to travel.

Attracted to our depth of knowledge and track record in the air taxi market together with the variety of aircraft we can supply, our client made an initial request through our online quotation for a flight for four passengers on the Beech Baron. Our client was experienced in using General Aviation air taxi operators worldwide, so we were humbled by being his first choice company to provide for his requirements. [More]
