Management
Aircraft Operations
Extreme Weather Procedures. Performance Planning.
The Compass Air management team has over 15,000 combined flight hours and 30 years in airline, private and charter jet operations. We have taken the safest and most reliable aspects of each operation and incorporated them into the Compass Air Standard Operating Procedures. This includes Airfare FACTS® trained flight attendants, proven procedures for extreme weather, contingencies for emergencies, and utilizing the most advanced software available for aircraft performance planning.
Concierge
Inflight Gourmet. Transportation. Luxury Services.
Compass Air offers an elite team of highly trained flight attendants for that next-level luxury service which will compliment each client's specific needs such as chefs specializing in transatlantic flights, custom menus and catering. Door-to-door concierge service for passengers and cargo is part of every trip. Compass Air is also developing a relationship with a U.K. based worldwide yacht charter broker and can coordinate helicopter transportation services.
Security
Privacy. Parking. World Affairs.
Your security begins with utmost privacy, and we offer the highest level of flight tracking blocking as well as US Customs Overflight Exemptions allowing you to fly directly to any US destination with Customs availability. Any time your aircraft is parked at an unsecured and un-monitored location, Compass Air & Logistics secures aircraft doors and hatches with serialized tamper-proof seals. All of our aircraft are fully prepared for the European Safety Assessment of Foreign Aircraft program. Our team is experienced in the use of worldwide security services with continual monitoring of geopolitical affairs that may be of concern to your security and safety.
Maintenance
Warranty. Service Programs. Compliance.
Our team is intimately familiar with the many levels of aircraft warranty programs along with compliance in all required inspections. Have you ever wondered if it would be more advantageous to buy into a manufacturer’s Maintenance Service Program at their MSP Gold or MSP Platinum level? We can recommend the best program for your operation. We use sophisticated software to forecast required aircraft maintenance and inspections which ensures trips are flown as scheduled without interference from “pop-up” maintenance items.
Flight Crew
Recruitment. Duties. Performance.
Because every aircraft owner is unique, Compass Air & Logistics does not simply find pilots and flight attendants we think are "the good ones." A crew member's specific background and experience must translate directly to their ability in exercising sound judgement on behalf of an owner. All crew member candidates are first evaluated on their interpersonal skills, ability to obtain appropriate travel visas, and understanding of intended global regions of operation. Next we conduct thorough background checks, interview references and, when appropriate, perform simulator flight evaluations. Once Compass Air has selected a qualified crew member for consideration, most owners prefer to have a short informal meeting with the candidate. The proper pairing of crew with specific aircraft and owners is imperative for the long-term safety and success of any operation.
Lead Captain

Pilot Employment Requirements
Crew members compensation is commensurate with the quality of crew we employ. All pilots are observed on a periodic basis either in a flight simulator or aircraft for the duration of employment to ensure they continually meet Compass Air objective criteria.
