Own a Piper Cherokee Six and Let It Help Pay for Itself

Aircraft Ownership Without the Hassle

An opportunity exists to acquire either a 50% share (or higher) or 100% ownership of a professionally managed Piper Cherokee Six operating within one of Western Australia's most active air charter networks.

Unlike traditional private aircraft ownership, this aircraft is integrated into the Rottnest Air Taxi and Lilypad Elevate operational ecosystem, creating the opportunity for owners to significantly reduce the cost of ownership through contracted commercial utilisation.

The Opportunity

The aircraft will remain based at Jandakot Airport, Western Australia, under a minimum three-year cross-hire agreement with Rottnest Air Taxi and Lilypad Elevate.

When not being utilised by the Co-owner, the aircraft is available for charter operations in those organisations, generating revenue that is credited against ownership costs.

This model allows owners to enjoy the benefits of aircraft ownership while avoiding much of the expense, complexity, and administrative burden typically associated with owning an aircraft.

Included Services

Ownership includes:

Professional airworthiness management

Maintenance scheduling and coordination

Ongoing regulatory compliance management

Secure aircraft parking adjacent to a fully equipped maintenance hangar

Access to premium passenger departure lounge facilities

Accounting and ownership administration services

Operational support from an experienced aviation management team

Cost Sharing Structure

Aircraft ownership costs are accrued monthly and shared proportionally between owners. These may include:

Airworthiness management fees

Accounting and administration costs

Scheduled maintenance provisions

Unscheduled maintenance expenses

Fuel and Oil

Insurance and operational overheads

When the aircraft is utilised by Rottnest Air Taxi or Lilypad Elevate, cross-hire revenue is credited back to the ownership group.

Owners are charged a simple operating rate when flying the aircraft privately, based on the average hourly operating cost of the aircraft, which contributes to the aircrafts operating cash float.

The listed price is for a 50% ownership stake.

Why This Model Works

Traditional aircraft ownership often results in an expensive asset sitting idle for most of its life.

This ownership structure aims to:

Reduce ownership costs through commercial utilisation

Keep the aircraft regularly flown and professionally maintained

Eliminate most ownership administration and management workload

Provide a turnkey ownership experience

Maintain aircraft readiness at all times

Simply arrive, fly, and enjoy the benefits of ownership while a professional aviation team handles the rest.
