Gemini Wings, an aviation startup initiated by Charter Advisory, a brokerage based in Prague, Czech Republic, has formed an international alliance fleet comprised of private aircraft from small European operators and individuals. Gemini Wings acts as the sales agent, chartering flights, while the owners lease their aircraft.

“The world has changed a lot in the past year, and one of the things that has become clearer is how valuable cooperation is,” notes Gemini Wings CEO and Charter Advisory co-founder Martin Fec. “At Gemini Wings, we want to foster the spirit of cooperation rather than competition so that all parties benefit. Aircraft were made to fly, not sit around in the hangar. They generate revenue when they are in the air. Let's keep them flying together while leveraging economies of scale to lower prices to bring in new customers and while retaining old ones to become a stronger and more profitable industry.”

For private aircraft owners, it could be an attractive proposition. Their aircraft are in the air, generating revenue that reduces high operating costs while giving the crew more flight experience. At the same time, Gemini Wings ensures that safety and quality are at the forefront, chartering flights through a competitively priced network angled at various passenger profiles.

“We're looking for aircraft owners who fly up to 200 hours a year, and we can increase their aircraft utilisation to 350 hours or even more,” Fec continues. “We urge anyone who fits this profile to contact us, as we can assist you to use the aircraft more efficiently while lowering your overall operating costs.”

Gemini Wings also offers complementary advisory services to members of its alliance, bringing professional negotiating expertise to the table when purchasing or exchanging aircraft. Aircraft owners will benefit from being part of a larger group and the economies of scale that come with it.
