Experienced Professionals guide Aviation Start-up Process

Peter Newman, Chief Executive of North Shore Air, makes the following observations about embarking on the aviation start-up process:

Entering the general aviation business and obtaining Part 135 certification was a big decision to make. One of the first realisations that we came to when drafting the business plan was that professional expertise was required. After a couple of false starts with supposedly qualified consultants it soon became apparent that to make any progress, we needed to engage someone who had not only business skills, but had the experience, expertise and thorough understanding of aviation processes to guide us through the licensing process.

Peter describes the process of working with ASMS as follows:

On first meeting with Heather and Andrew it was apparent that indeed they were the professionals required, and as a bonus they have been consistently supportive and encouraging. Heather is not only dedicated to achieving the best results, but in attaining very high standards, and in conjunction with Andrew's brilliance at solving any technical issues, I cannot rate their work highly enough.

Testimonial: Using ASMS one of the best decisions we made

Michael and Kate Oakley of Ballooning Canterbury offer the following testimonial about their time working with ASMS:

We were fortunate enough to meet Heather and Andrew when we had a display at Warbirds Over Wanaka, Easter 2012. We were just starting to promote our new business Ballooning Canterbury and the last major thing we had to do before being fully operational was getting our Part 115. We already knew that writing a Part 115 was going to be quite a task so after talking with them it was an easy decision to get them to do it for us.

This was one of the best decisions we made, it totally took the pressure off us and we concentrated on other areas of the business. They certainly know their stuff and they were fantastic to deal with. We have gone back to them for help and advise on other issues since, they have been extremely helpful and we plan to continue to use them for any future work. Thanks to them we managed to get our Part 115 through on 28 September 2012 and we launched our business on 07 October 2012.
