Aviation Feasibility Study
One of the most important questions when considering the establishment of an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), Approved Training Organisation (ATO), Cabin Crew Training Organisation (CCTO), Part-145 Maintenance Organisation, or the expansion of an existing aviation operation is whether the proposed project or business venture is commercially viable and financially sustainable before significant capital is invested.
Sky Class Solutions specializes in conducting comprehensive aviation feasibility studies and business planning services to determine the likelihood of success of a proposed project, expansion, or business concept. Our assessments provide decision-makers with the information required to make informed investment and strategic decisions.
Our feasibility studies consider a wide range of factors, including:
• Market demand and competitive analysis
• Regulatory and certification requirements
• Start-up and operational costs
• Revenue projections and profitability forecasts
• Resource and staffing requirements
• Operational risks and challenges
• Strategic benefits and growth opportunities
Return on investment (ROI) analysis
By evaluating these critical factors, we help clients understand the potential costs, risks, and rewards associated with their proposed venture before committing further time, resources, and capital.
Each feasibility study is supported by a detailed report outlining our findings, conclusions, and recommendations, enabling clients to proceed with confidence and a clear strategic direction.
Revenue Leakage Analysis
Revenue leakage is the unintentional loss of expected income that a business has already earned or is contractually entitled to receive. It occurs when revenue is lost through gaps, inefficiencies, errors, or weaknesses within operational, pricing, billing, or financial processes.
Sky Class Solutions specializes in identifying and recovering revenue leakage across all areas of an aviation business. Our comprehensive approach includes detailed on-site workshops, operational reviews, and process assessments covering key departments, including but not limited to:
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
Finance and Accounting (including VAT returns and regulatory filings)
Operations Control Centre (OCC)
Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO)
Maintenance Departments
Company Reclaims
Crew Planning
Travel Department
Client Services
During our analysis, we leave no stone unturned to ensure that every potential source of revenue leakage and opportunity for recovery is identified. Our experienced team conducts a thorough review of processes, systems, contracts, and operational activities to uncover hidden revenue opportunities and areas of financial inefficiency.
Following each assessment, clients receive a comprehensive report detailing all findings, quantified recovery opportunities, and practical recommendations. The report also includes proposed controls, process improvements, and strategic measures designed to mitigate future revenue leakage, strengthen financial governance, and improve long-term profitability.
