The Aurelis standard
Three checks sit between a brief and a proposal. They are the reason a quote from us takes eighteen minutes rather than four, and the reason we occasionally come back with nothing.
What a flight lead does
You get a name and a direct number, not a shared inbox. The same person who sourced the aircraft is the one watching the inbound leg on the morning you fly.
Meet your flight lead ↗Before an aircraft reaches your proposal.
We check the operator's air operator certificate, insurance cover and limits, the maintenance status of the specific tail, and the safety record of the operator rather than the type. About one aircraft in nine that matches a brief on paper does not clear this, and you never see those.
Photographs of the actual aircraft, not the type.
Cabin imagery in charter listings is frequently a manufacturer render or a sister aircraft. We ask the operator for current photographs of the tail being offered, dated, and we send those. Where an operator will not provide them we say so in the proposal rather than quietly using stock.
From planning to touchdown.
Your flight lead watches the weather at both ends, the slot position, and the aircraft's inbound leg — which is the thing that actually makes private flights late. If something moves, you hear it from us before you notice it yourself.
The unglamorous part
A broker who has never turned down a booking is not applying a standard to it.
