There apparently are many people who want to own and operate a business airplane, but who pass on the opportunity because of the cost, the paperwork, or simply because they know they’ll never use the airplane enough to justify all the work or the money they’ll spend. Partners in Aviation (PIA) and the PIA Co-Ownership service, co-founded by aviation industry veterans Tom Bertels and Mark Molloy, think they have just the solution for this untapped market of buyers: a partnership. The two men are not strangers to business aviation, nor to partnerships that often sound good but head south when the disagreements begin.
