SD Aviation : airline

SD Aviation is a French airline offering private and business flights in the form of economic interest groupings. It should be noted that an economic interest group is an entity with legal personality enabling its members to pool their activities with the aim of boosting their results.

This airline was founded in 2009 and currently has almost 6,000 passengers.

How did SD Aviation manage to establish itself in the world of aeronautics?

Presentation of SD Aviation

SD Aviation is an airline based in La Roche sur Yon. It was founded in 2009 with the ambition of offering a variety of services to facilitate travel for professionals and private individuals. The services offered by SD Aviation range from simple on-demand flights to corporate clubs and the “SD FLY” concept. The principle of corporate clubs is to benefit from lower fares with a 2-year commitment. Depending on your annual flight requirements, you can join a corporate club to reduce the fixed costs associated with managing the aircraft. The SD FLY principle is similar, and is a way for companies to share the aircraft available in France via a subscription.

Thanks to a varied fleet and an innovative concept that we will discuss below, SD Aviation can meet its customers’ needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The SD Aviation fleet

SD Aviation has four different types of aircraft:

– Three Diamond DA62: these are Austrian twin-engine turboprop jets. These aircraft can fly long distances and seat up to 7 people on board. As well as flying fast and over long distances, this type of aircraft consumes much less fuel than other aircraft. With this type of aircraft, SD aviation guarantees its customers a comfortable and safe trip.

– A Pilatus PC-12NG: this is a single-engine business aircraft capable of carrying up to 9 people. It is very efficient in that it can land on very short runways while transporting various materials (industrial, medical, food, etc.) and even animals.

– A Cessna Citation Mustang: this is an American business jet. This model of aircraft is very light, which means it can considerably reduce its flight time.

– Two Embraer Phenom 100s and an Embraer Phenom 300: these are three Brazilian business jets. Once again, these are relatively light aircraft, ensuring speed and comfort for customers. In fact, the Embraer Phenom 300 is the world’s best-selling business jet.

The services offered by SD Aviation

On-demand flights with SD Aviation

First of all, you need to know whatbusiness aviation is. Business aviation is a branch of air transport that can be considered private. In fact, this branch refers to types of travel tailor-made for its passengers. Most of the time, these are business flights that require the involvement of business aviation brokers. The role of the broker is to charter a private jet for the customer, acting as an intermediary between the applicant and the airline. The broker ensures that the customer is well looked after from the moment he makes his first request until he lands. Civil aviation, on the other hand, refers to the transport of passengers and goods.

SD Aviation initially offers on-demand flights for private individuals and professionals. For this type of request, SD Aviation offers its customers two jet models: the Embraer Phenom 100 and the Embraer Phenom 300. These are the most efficient aircraft for flying customers to other parts of France and Europe. They are light and spacious aircraft that can accommodate from 4 to 8 passengers. You can also request a cargo aircraft to transport equipment or goods.

All you have to do is make a request to the airline and they can organise a unique, tailor-made trip for you. No need to travel on a scheduled aircraft.

Purchase management by SD Aviation

As well as offering on-demand flights, SD Aviation is committed to assisting you with your aircraft purchases or sales. With over 10 years’ experience, the SD Aviation team will help you to manage these operations in the best possible way, in compliance with European regulations.

Aircraft hangar rental by SD Aviation

For people who own an aircraft, i.e. a means of flying transport, SD Aviation offers a hangar rental system. The airline offers hangar hire at its base in La Roche sur Yon. You can use them to buy your aircraft, and you can also store it on their premises!

An innovative system : SD FLY

What makes SD Aviation so special is the ability to form economic interest groups. Each group can obtain quotas of 300 flying hours per year, a carefully chosen base and a fleet of aircraft based anywhere in France.

To join an economic interest group, 3 conditions must be met:

– You must be a company

– Make a 2-year commitment

– Subscribe to a minimum quota of 25 hours

That’s where SD FLY comes in.

By forming an economic interest group, shareholders benefit from a number of advantages. They pay only part of the costs of managing the aircraft, and have access to a wide range of aircraft throughout France.

Subscribing to SD FLY means you can travel when you want, reduce your costs, save time thanks to the wide range of aircraft available and book a flight even more easily!

Let’s take a concrete example. You’re an SD FLY subscriber and you’d like to book a flight on board a Diamond DA62. It’s an Austrian aircraft that doesn’t consume much fuel, is fairly fast and spacious. In short, it’s the ideal aircraft from all the aircraft ranges you have access to for your travels.

On this flight you will have access to :

– Management and provision of the Diamond DA62

– Managing your reservation from request to landing

– Control of all surrounding flight operations

– Accounting and legal management of your economic interest grouping

– Monitoring the airworthiness and maintenance of the Diamond DA62

– Pilots at your disposal

– The possibility of a night flight

Finally, with SD FLY you can leave from any base and considerably reduce your costs. There will be no more time or availability constraints.
