Owning a plane is not only freedom and comfort, but also the necessity to take care of the employment of crew, maintenance, hangaring, or formal issues. You can entrust all of these responsibilities to Bartolini Air. Moreover, if you want to make extra money on your plane, we will make it available for charter as part of our Air Operator Certificate.

Formalities
Striving to further improve civil aviation safety, the EU regulations and the European Aviation Safety Agency are continuously tightening up the requirements for private aircraft owners. Bartolini Air has the knowledge, experience, and authorizations to take care of your responsibilities associated with importing, registering, and owning an aircraft, especially the complexities related to owning jet and turboprop machines. On your behalf, we will ensure compliance with the latest regulations in the areas of operational control (Part-NCC or Part-CAT regulations), continuing airworthiness management (Part-M regulations and CAMO certificate), and Scenic flights (Part-145 regulations and certificate).
Recruitment of crews
The quality of your plane crew will determine your safety. Bartolini Air has years of experience in selecting and recruiting pilots. Assessment of the psychophysical abilities of the candidates is carried out by a trained psychologist, supported by the computer system Compass, a global standard used by the world’s largest airlines. At the same time, Bartolini Air, running the largest professional pilot training centre in Central Europe, has constant access to candidates with excellent skills, which is particularly important in the face of the world’s shortage of pilots.
hangaring
Modern airplanes are riddled with electronics and do not tolerate moisture well, so when they do not fly, they should be stationed in heated hangars. Bartolini Air offers high-quality hangar space at the international airport in Łódź, which is difficult to find in most other Polish airports. Competitive prices, convenient location in the very centre of Poland, the proximity of Warsaw, and a long, ILS-equipped runway make the seat of Bartolini Air an ideal base for business planes, even for people living in other parts of Poland and in neighbouring countries.
Earn money on your plane
If you own an aircraft, Bartolini Air can offer it for rental to third parties on the basis of its Air Operator Certificate (AOC). The machine can earn you money while you are not using it. If you are just about to buy an aircraft, we will advise you on the optimal model to maximize your revenue and you will enjoy your own jet plane at only a fraction of the cost.
CAMO
Bartolini Air is also an EASA-certified Continuous Airworthiness Management Organization. We professionally manage the continuous airworthiness as well as planning maintenance for both our own aircraft as well as private piston, turboprop and jet aircraft of our clients.
FAQ – frequently asked questions
How do I order a flight?
You can call us, send us an email, or use the special form on our website to quickly rate and order your flight – just tell us about the planned route, how many passengers you plan to travel with, and in the case of return flights, the time you want to spend at the location.
How much time in advance do I need to plan my trip?
You can plan your trip practically anytime. Bartolini Air is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If an aircraft is not currently in flight for other customers, it will be ready to take off for you within 2 hours of your order.
How long does it take and what is the check-in process at the airport?
For your convenience, the captain of the plane always waits for you in front of the entrance to the terminal or the airport and personally takes you to the plane. Even at larger airports, where security checks are required, check-in takes no more than 5 minutes, so you only need to be at the airport a quarter of an hour before the planned take off.

Do private planes fly in any weather, even in winter?
Private flights are available all year round, also after dusk and in winter. However, weather conditions may dictate that a specific aircraft lands at an airport other than the one originally planned, with adequate lighting and navigation equipment. Just as with ordinary airlines, exceptionally bad weather may also make a flight impossible to be effected on time for safety reasons. Weather conditions and airport equipment and condition are always analysed by Bartolini Air Operations and the flight captain prior to flight and you are always kept informed of the possible impact of weather on your flight plan.
How much does it cost to fly on a private piston aircraft?
If the plane flies a group of three passengers, then, depending on the chosen destination in Poland, the cost of travel is from PLN 2 to 3 thousand per person for one way trip and from PLN 3 to 4.5 thousand per person if you fly both ways and want to stay at the place for 2-3 days.
How much does it cost to fly a private jet?
Depending on the chosen direction – PLN 6-9 thousand for a return flight, with the group of six passengers.
Where can Bartolini Air take me from and where can it land?
Bartolini airplanes act as taxis, so they can take you from any airport you choose or from any landing site where they can land safely and according to legal regulations. Our piston planes need an airport or a landing site with a length of about 600 meters, and there are as many as 80 of them in Poland A business jet requires a hardened runway with a length of about 1,500 meters and appropriate infrastructure – there are about 20 such runways in Poland, but almost a thousand in Europe! Tell us where you want to go, and we will choose the most convenient airport for you. If necessary, we can also arrange pre- and post-flight transportation by road.
