I am thinking about writing up a business plan (just for the fun of it) to start a single-engine airplane charter company. Just wondering what everyone thinks would be a great airplane that would be most profitable and capable of performing longer routes.
To me, the PC-12 comes to mind because of how much it can carry and the length that it can travel. But the initial cost to obtain the airplane and maintaining that beautiful craft would be to exspensive in a start up company. I also think a Caravan would be good too, but expensive to maintain. Now I am thinking of the new Mooney's Ovation 2 and Bravo that can travel real fast cheaply, but you can't carry much of a load with full fuel.
Would it be better to buy used and update it to make it a better and safer airplane or buy new or relatively new?
Any thoughts and inputs, let them come forth.
