When you consider the value proposition, professionalism, and highly trained pilots, MERLIN1 can’t be beat.
Alan S.
I can now efficiently accomplish in a day what previously took two or three. I’ve looked at many private jet programs and finally, someone has figured out how to make private jet travel affordable while maintaining the standards we have come to expect.

Since joining the program, I have spent considerably less time in airports, I arrive relaxed and energetic to my meetings, and am able to return to my office in time to finish up for the day.

THE MERLIN1 DIFFERENCE
How We Win on Price
One aircraft type provides for operating cost efficiencies and better reliability, resulting in lower prices for our clients
Merlin1 sets itself apart in the private aviation industry through its strategic focus on operational efficiency and personalized customer service. By operating a fleet of pre-owned aircraft of a single type, Merlin1 has achieved significant cost savings and streamlined scheduling, maintenance, and pilot training and redundancy.
Maintenance Efficiency: A uniform fleet simplifies maintenance procedures, reducing the need for specialized tools and training. Merlin1's in-house maintenance capabilities further enhance efficiency, allowing for quicker turnaround times and minimizing disruptions to flight schedules.
Pilot Training and Redundancy: The company's standardized fleet facilitates efficient pilot training, as pilots only need to familiarize themselves with one aircraft type. This also ensures greater redundancy within the pilot pool, as any pilot can step in to fly any aircraft in the fleet, minimizing disruptions due to pilot unavailability.
