The Advantages of a Floating Base in Private Aviation
Discover why a floating base model in private aviation offers unmatched flexibility, global reach, and tailored travel experiences.
What is a Floating Base Model in Private Aviation?
Unlike operators tied to a fixed airport or hub, a floating base model means that the aircraft is not anchored to one location. Instead, it moves dynamically according to client demand, allowing travelers to start their journey from virtually anywhere in the world.
This flexibility has transformed the private aviation industry, making it possible to connect Europe, the Middle East, and beyond with ease.
The Key Benefits of a Floating Base
1. True Global Reach
With no fixed base, flights can depart from multiple locations, connecting major cities and exclusive destinations alike. Whether it’s London to New York, Paris to Dubai, or Geneva to Mykonos, the floating base model eliminates unnecessary positioning flights and brings the aircraft closer to the client.
2. Absolute Flexibility
Schedules are no longer dictated by availability at a single base. Clients decide when and where to fly, even at short notice. For executives and HNWI, this means time efficiency and the ability to adapt travel plans instantly.
3. Cost-Efficiency for Clients
By minimizing repositioning costs and offering more direct access to aircraft, the floating model often translates into better cost-effectiveness for frequent flyers.
4. Personalized Experiences Anywhere
From tailored catering to cabin atmosphere, the floating model ensures that the MJM promise — Fly your way — is available wherever the client is. The experience doesn’t start at a base airport; it starts the moment the aircraft meets the passenger.
