We fly from smaller, less congested airfields to give you greater flexibility, convenience, and cost-efficiency — all without ever compromising on safety.
We understand that safety is the cornerstone of any aviation experience, commercial or private. And because big operators are held to strict regulatory standards, we’ve made it our mission to, not only match, but exceed those standards in every possible way.
All aircraft in our fleet are maintained exclusively by Goodwood Engineering, an EASA Part 145 approved maintenance organisation and authorised Pilatus PC-12 Service Facility. This certification ensures that our aircraft are serviced and inspected to the same rigorous standards applied to commercial airline fleets across Europe.
From scheduled maintenance to unscheduled defect resolutions, every detail is managed by highly trained professionals using certified parts, approved methods, and precise documentation.
What does this mean for you?
When you self-hire from us, you become the operator of the aircraft. However, we have a formal Co-ordination agreement with Props Away Agency, who co-ordinate the arrangements for the operation of the flight for you and ensure that the aircraft has been inspected, serviced and maintained in an airworthy condition, and to an EASA Part-145 standard.
Props Away also arranges for you to hire a highly experienced pilot, who fulfils the strict minimum qualifications and training requirements specified within your self-hire agreement.
Thanks to Props Away Agency, you can fulfil the required regulatory or operational standards without being an expert yourself!
When you choose to hire from us and enjoy the support of Props Away Agency for the operation of the aircraft, you benefit from:
We believe that flying privately should offer more than convenience—it should offer clarity, trust, and absolute peace of mind. That’s why our self hire model does not compromise on quality.
Whether you've just discovered private self-hire or you’ve had experience with our model before, you can expect a level of care and safety that rivals any provider.
We're always happy to answer any questions you have about our processes and how we work.
We can also walk you through our maintenance records for the aircraft you will hire.
Your safety and trust are our highest priorities.
