There are 1600 airports located throughout Europe. Each airport has a different set of rules and regulations. For some airports you are only allowed to land with a good visibility and i n daylight while on other airports you can only land using aircraft instruments. Each airport has normal operating hours, which vary by airport. Some airports operate 24/7 . Others may be opened between 7am to 5pm, but can allow passengers to apply for opening extensions if they wish to fly to or from the airport outside the normal operating hours. However these extensions often come with a fee.

Aircraft are technical machines, albeit the Cirrus SR22s in our fleet are maintained according to strict European rules it always can happen that a technical issue on the aircraft delays or cancels your private flight. In this case Fly Aeolus will assess firstly if it is able to send in an alternative aircraft and/or pilot to continue your trip, pending availability and airport opening times. If the latter is impossible Fly Aeolus will provide you with an alternative transportation recommendation to continue your trip as soon as possible pending availability.

Mother Nature sometimes throws a curveball our way and complicates our flight route with obstacles such as high winds, lightning and storms.
We will always monitor weather 24 hour in advance to give you ample notice and assistance with alternative arrangements, if necessary.
Planes have “critical areas” which include the wings, horizontal stabilizers, and vertical stabilizer which must be free of contaminants in order to take off safely. A build up of ice or snow on these surfaces not only adds extra weight, but most importantly, it also disrupts the flow of air, which reduces lift. It can also disrupt the movement of the wings’ flaps and ailerons.
The process of de-icing, along with the supplies used to remedy these weather created problems will remove the build-up of any ice and snow accumulated. There is no way to predict how weather will affect your trip, nor is there any way to predict whether deicing will be needed for your flight until the pilot do their pre-flight safety checklist and their aircraft walk-around.
If the pilot does in fact notice any icing or build-up, they will deem the plane to be unsafe to depart until the ice/buildup is removed using deicing solution.
The cost of de-icing an air taxi is billed (at cost) after the flight has been completed. If you don’t want an additional invoice after your flight you can also choose our de-icing insurance, check our de-icing insurance check our de-icing insurance here.
