Four Corners Aviation has launched its Freedom concept, which enables customers to have all the benefits of their own scalable aviation department with a customised and fully integrated lift solution, including aircraft, crew, operations and supplemental lift, but without the hassles of ownership such as administration, accounting and other uncertainties.

Freedom by Four Corners Aviation is a modern way for clients to enjoy the multiple benefits of private jet travel, without worrying about ownership, financing, operations, insurance, crew management, maintenance or any of the aggravations associated with private jet travel. This approach to business jet access protects and preserves shareholder and client capital. Freedom by Four Corners Aviation ushers in an entirely new business segment to the business aviation community, called Corporate Jet as a Service (CJaaS). What Netjets is to fractional ownership, Freedom by Four Corners Aviation will be to CJaaS. Four Corners Aviation launched last month.

“Corporate Jet as a Service is an innovative arrangement that optimises several advantages for our clients: fixed pricing, customised delivery and no balance sheet treatment,” says Brian Proctor, CEO of Aquila Aviation Ventures, which includes Four Corners Aviation and the Mente Group. “CJaaS is a well-designed and financially strong solution for both corporate and private flying, which allows customers to focus on their core competencies while we perform ours.

“Over decades as aviation asset advisors to top tier organisations, all of them love what the airplane can do for them for their productivity, for their bottom line and for their lives,” Proctor continued. “None of them really want to own and operate an airplane. However, they were willing to put up with the uncertainties to get what they wanted. With Freedom by Four Corners Aviation, they get everything they want without the hassle.”

“The need for owning, maintaining and operating your very own private aircraft is now gone. We do it all for you, simplifying the entire experience,” adds Cameron Gowans, president and COO of Four Corners Aviation. “Four Corners Aviation offers an ultimate platinum level service tier tailored to senior individual level travel, an exclusive gold tier executive transportation programme, a silver tier guaranteed aircraft supplemental solution and bronze tier ad hoc flight answer.”

Four Corners president and COO Cameron Gowans has also announced initial appointments to the recently launched US company's senior leadership team. The team will provide leadership to the new organisation dedicated to enabling customers to have all the benefits of their own scalable aviation department.

“We are proud of this newly formed team of skilled industry professionals, which will take the corporate-jet-as-a-service (CJaaS), a fully integrated lift solution offered through 'Freedom by Four Corners Aviation,' to clients across the country,” he concludes. “This powerful group is charged with ensuring that we execute well and deliver the best product to our clientele.”

Diana Schneider, vice president, client services, joined the organisation now known as Four Corners Aviation in 2019, while Ray Bennett, vice president, sales, brings 30 years of aviation sales experience to Four Corners. Mike Jefcoat, vice president, operations, has been in aviation for over 25 years. He began his professional career as a pilot for Delta. Phil Leone, vice president, safety and security, brings 27 years of aviation experience to the company.
