Safe, Reliable, and Efficient Management for Aircraft Owners. Solairus utilizes a service delivery model that its management team developed over many years of experience. One of the keys to its proven success is dedicating highly experienced professionals to each client’s account and having an organizational structure that supports decentralized customer service delivery. Culture of Safety All the services we provide to support you and your aircraft revolve around safety – our number one priority. Solairus has a dedicated safety department which is focused on continually monitoring flight operations, managing our flight crew training programs and promoting safety throughout the company. We have regularly scheduled meetings of our Safety Committee, which is comprised of staff members from every department in the company. Finally, Solairus utilizes the Safety Management System (SMS) tools provided by ARG/US to enhance our safety practices delivered to our aircraft owners. Learn more about Solairus' Culture of Safety here. Fleet Discount Savings Solairus has leveraged its position as a large provider of aviation services, and its long-term vendor relationships, to negotiate extremely favorable fleet discount programs. Solairus currently has major programs in place covering fuel, maintenance, crew training and insurance. The savings that Solairus’ fleet discount programs offer will largely offset, and in many instances more than fully cover, the annual services fee charged for our support services.
