“Aviation Portfolio does for private travel what I do financially for my clients. You really need to have someone in your corner who knows how to do the right research and doesn’t have an ulterior agenda.”

— Senior Managing Director, Private Wealth Management Firm

“I thought flying private would make my life easier, but it felt like I was running my own airline. I wish I had discovered Aviation Portfolio earlier. They took on the entire administrative and logistical burden, and frankly they’re a lot better at it than I am.”

— Entrepreneur, long-term fractional and jet card owner

“I started working with Aviation Portfolio as an active user of phone-book charter. As my needs evolved, they guided me through the world of fractional ownership. Now I own my own aircraft, and Aviation Portfolio is my most irreplaceable resource.”
