Corporate Eagle was the nation's very first company to receive Federal Aviation Administration Operating Specifications approval for FAR Part 91k Fractional Aircraft Operations. In addition, Corporate Eagle is the only Fractional Aircraft provider based in the State of Michigan.
As Michigan's largest and longest-serving provider of Fractional and Managed business aviation, our team has been laser-focused on fulfilling one vision since founding in 1982: creating an exemplary experience for members, every time, without compromise.
The Southeast Michigan-based team of nearly 80 full-time experienced, committed and passionate professionals, including over 40 captain-rated pilots, is relentless in achieving this vision. The team, together with Corporate Eagle's state-of-the-art facilities, unrivaled safety standards, and unmatched mission-specific modern fleet, provides a very uniquely private aviation experience, originating right here in Metro Detroit.
Corporate Eagle is dedicated to the highest standard of professional flight operations. Safety
will always be our first priority, no compromises, as safety consciousness persists in the daily
flight operations.
We have built the safety program and guidelines utilizing internationally recognized best practices.
As a corporate policy, we operate to the standards developed and adopted by the International Business
Aviation Council (IBAC) and all its member associations, including the National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA). These standards, which incorporate the specific requirements of the International
Civil Aviation Organization and the Michigan Aeronautics Code, were developed using best practices in
the business aviation community and, as such, reflect the high standards of operational safety that we
continually achieve and maintain.
As a result of the constant commitment to upholding only the highest possible safety standards,
Corporate Eagle is proud to share that we continue to earn and hold best-in-class safety achievements,
certifications and honors.
The International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) is an industry code of best practices developed by the international business aviation community for the benefit of its members. It is the group's contribution to promoting highly professional operational practices that will build on the excellent safety record already established by business aviation. Conforming to these standards and recommended practices is voluntary and may be self-administered. However, recognition for implementation of and conformance to the standards is available via an auditing process that results in an IBAC certificate of registration.
The program centers on the Safety Management System (SMS) developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and other operations-critical industries. It establishes a performance-based, risk-averse culture for aircraft operations. Audits conducted every two years ensure conformance with the standard and provide valuable feedback to the operator. The registration certificate issued upon successful completion of an audit serves as proof of compliance with several key ICAO standards, which are required for operations in a number of countries.
The IS-BAO Stage III credential is the highest level of certification administered by the ICAO. This verifies safety management activities are fully integrated into the operator’s business and that a positive safety culture is being sustained. Worldwide, only 300 aircraft operators, and fewer than 10 in the entire state of Michigan, hold this level of certification.
This incredible accomplishment is one that we do not take lightly as we remain committed to enhancing our SMS initiatives and continue to make safety our number one priority.
For 60 years, the NBAA Flying Safety Award program has brought worldwide attention to the business aircraft
safety record. These awards recognize member companies for exceptional achievement in maintaining safe flying
operations. Much more than a member benefit, they serve as a testimony to the high degree of professionalism
inherent in business aircraft operations, and as a tribute to the skill of a company's management, maintenance,
pilot and support personnel teams.
The Corporate Business Flying Safety Award, Commercial Business Flying Safety Award, and Aviation Maintenance
Department Safety Award are given to companies for accident-free years and hours flown.
Granted by the NBAA Board of Directors on December 31, 2019, Corporate Eagle was awarded the Corporate Business Flying Safety Award and the Aviation Maintenance Department Safety Award for operating business aircraft for 37 years, and a total of over 141,000 consecutive flight hours without an accident.
The purpose of Air Carrier certification is to determine and ensure that an operator is able to consistently
conduct commercial aircraft operations in a manner that complies with all applicable regulations and safety
standards, and allows for the management of the hazard-related risks within the operating systems and environment.
The certification process is designed to preclude the approval and certification of applicants who are unwilling
or unable to comply with regulations or to conform to safe operating practices.
By direction of the Administrator of the FAA, on November 21, 1990, Corporate Eagle was certified to have met the
requirements of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, and the rules, regulations, and standards prescribed
thereunder for authorization to operate as an Air Carrier and conduct common carriage operations.
With a mission to remain an industry leader and example in aviation safety, the Corporate Eagle team remains
committed to constantly evaluating and measuring safety processes and procedures, consistently training our team,
and always implementing and upholding nothing but the highest possible standards in operations.
As an FAA Certified Air Carrier, each flight-crew member must be trained and tested annually. At Corporate
Eagle, we take it a step further: all Corporate Eagle pilots are fully trained and type-rated captains. They
attend stringent and comprehensive recurrent training and testing, in full-motion simulators every six months,
as a two-person co-captain team, which is how they fly. Training is contracted with CAE — a global leader
in simulation and training for civil aviation worldwide. With over 50 years of experience in civil and military
aviation training in more than 45 locations, CAE trains more than 100,000 flight-crew members annually. This
depth of knowledge and experience helps ensure that your Corporate Eagle flight crew is trained to the highest
standards possible.
The purpose of the Check Airmen is to ensure, through periodic observation and evaluation of flight crews,
that the standards as defined and approved by the company and the FAA are being followed both in spirit and
letter. Not every commercial aircraft operator is approved to utilize a company Check Airman to administer
the required ground and flight evaluations of its pilots on behalf of the FAA. There is a high standard that
must be met for such a privilege.
Each of Corporate Eagle's Check Airmen must demonstrate biannually to the FAA that they have the experience,
training, and discipline to act on the FAA's behalf, not only as an evaluator but also a professional resource
of safety knowledge and practice. As such, Corporate Eagle's FAA-approved Check Airmen are also Assistant Chief
Pilots designated as specific Program Managers. Regarding all matters of safety, the Assistant Chief Pilot's
authority and responsibility is to enforce company safety policy and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
By having designated in-house Check Airmen for each aircraft type, maximum safety oversight and standardization
are achieved and maintained. This also allows for the flexibility to administer the required ground and flight
evaluations of its pilot crew, minimizing scheduling inconveniences to the Member, which may result from a lack
of available qualified FAA Inspectors.
Corporate Eagle operates by the book, every time. It sounds simple, but today's modern dynamic and complex flight
environment pose challenges that can stress even the most straightforward and implicit tenets of safety.
We asked our Members what they thought of Corporate Eagle — here, in their own words are some of the great things they had to say.
As a frequent traveler, Corporate Eagle has made my life so much easier when it comes to air travel. I have been
flying with them for over 10 years and have never felt safer in the air and on the ground. Their attention to
detail makes for a stress-free flight every time!
The staff is not only thorough, professional, and friendly, but they go out of their way to make me and my fellow
passengers feel important and respected. More importantly, they make us feel special. There is never any doubt that
the plane will depart and arrive on time; have the necessary amenities; the requested ground transportation will be
waiting when we land; or a meeting room will be reserved and stocked as requested.
Corporate Eagle has far exceeded expectations when it comes to providing members with dedicated, safe, and quality
service! It is truly a pleasure dealing and traveling with this wonderful group of people. I have received many,
many calls from other private travel companies throughout the years, but always respectfully decline, knowing that
I am flying with the best.
Everyone in this organization is the model of professional excellence coupled with the right blend of warmth
and friendliness — superb service!
We're always presented with professional, courteous and high-quality service.
The Corporate Eagle Team is professional, well trained and a team we can always count on. All details are handled
without failure. They are as good as any internal corporate flight management organization. In fact, better since
they have to earn your business. We trust them with our travel needs and to respond extremely quickly. Truly a great
service.
Outstanding experience, first class from every standpoint. Really understand service excellence and safety first.
Corporate Eagle is known for excellent service by professionals who provide safe, reliable travel at a fair cost.

The impeccable Southeast Michigan 15-aircraft fleet, 78,000-sq-ft facility, and 75 full-time,
experienced, committed and passionate professionals, including 40 captain-rated pilots, are
dedicated to 50 Southeast Michigan Members.
Corporate Eagle does not compromise on retaining extraordinary talent that shares a passion
to deliver our Platinum Standard services. Corporate Eagle's Organization Chart is deep in
talent, long in time on the job, and laser-focused on one product and singular purpose.
All based in Southeast Michigan for Southeast Michigan Members, the Corporate Eagle team works,
lives, and raises their families in Southeast Michigan — Members need not transport their business
aircraft from out of state.
Fractional share membership is through the purchase or lease of a share in a Program aircraft
based upon the amount of airtime that you require. All costs are totally transparent, all-inclusive
and predictable. And membership is pro-rated by days-per-year you require your aircraft, so there
is no rationing of flight hours.
Corporate Eagle understands that its Members fly private because they don't like restrictive rules.
Members never have flight-time minimums, pay for taxi time or punishing cancellation and trip fees,
or need to schedule around peak travel days and restricted service areas. One-way or round-trip
flights may be taken anywhere and at any time. And, to ensure maximum flexibility and efficiency,
Members may keep the aircraft and flight crew with them for day or multi-day trips.
The Corporate Eagle mission statement is written on the staff entrance door: Create an Exemplary Member
Experience, without Compromise. And the entire team is fully trained in delivering the
Corporate Eagle Platinum Standard.
The Flight Operations Team is always available to Members and prepared to arrange flight and transportation
details. You fly when and where you need to go, day or night. A suitable notice is ideal; however, we are
at-the-ready to put the wheels and wings in motion when your time requires immediate travel.
Each aircraft is meticulously maintained and detailed, including 167-point pre-flight inspections prior to
every departure. Maintenance and Ground Support Technicians are assigned to every departure and arrival.
In addition, an On-Board Services Team member is specifically assigned to every departure to ensure the
aircraft cabin is impeccably cleaned, well-organized and perfectly stocked with Members' personal comfort
and convenience preferences. They will see off each departure and park your vehicle in the secured
lot or hangar.
From an hour prior to your first takeoff until you return home, you'll have direct contact with your flight
crew in order to discuss any changes to your itinerary, special requests, flight condition, as well as any
of your needs that may arise. Additionally, your flight crew is empowered to anticipate any unique trip details
and provide additional services for Members that will make your travel more comfortable and convenient.
Members are also encouraged to utilize the facility's private, well-appointed Conference Centers before or after flights, or to meet with guests.
Members arrive at the facility and, entering through a coded gate, may drive right up to the aircraft to be greeted by one
of the pilots. Your aircraft cabin will be presented exactly the same way, every time, with your company logo
displayed. Your automobile will be valet-parked, fueled, detailed, and running upon your return.
Corporate Eagle's local base, commonality of fleet, purchasing power, synergies, and completely documented
processes, procedures, and checklists provide great efficiencies and service advantages for Members. The
unique business model and fleet size, dedicated to Members only, equates to better availability and residual
fleet value for Members. It also allows the Corporate Eagle team the opportunity to provide great attention
to the aircraft appearance details that are unparalleled in the industry.
In addition, Corporate Eagle passes along to Members the cost efficiencies of having inventory
capacity of 45,000 gallons of jet fuel purchased at pipeline pricing. Corporate Eagle inventories
over one million dollars of top-of-the-line spare aircraft parts and components for the common
fleet and has an in-house staff of experienced, professional, and well-trained Maintenance
Technicians.
Corporate Eagle's unique weight-off-wheels Hobbs Meter means airframe hours, engine hours, and Member
billable flight time are determined by actual time the aircraft is airborne — no additional taxi
time added to each leg and no minimum-flight-time requirements.
Our all-aircraft Interchange Agreement allows Members to select the most mission-specific type of
aircraft for a given trip mission, as well as simultaneous use of multiple aircraft.
Corporate Eagle members can be rest assured that facility is completely operational during a power outage by our generator that can run the entire facility during a time of need.
The dynamics of international flight operations are consistently evolving. Flights in each
country overflown and operated within are required to follow the rules of that country.
Utilizing advantages like special customs handling and holding qualifications for over-flight
permits, Corporate Eagle has the experience and expertise to perform international travel
and make global trips as seamless as domestic travel — in fact, Corporate Eagle has
touched down in 27 different countries in just the past twelve months.
Whether a driver service or rental car is required, Corporate Eagle arranges for plane-side service upon Members' arrival. At home base, your personal vehicle will be cleaned, polished, detailed, and fueled; the vehicle will be running plane-side with the interior temperature adjusted at your arrival.
Corporate Eagle hand-picks the finest pedigree aircraft, as well as contracts and supervises all upgrades
and refurbishments, and delivers an outstanding aircraft to you on the ramp — ready to go.
Your dedicated aircraft, under our management, receives extraordinary care and will always be stored in
a meticulously maintained hangar. The aircraft cabin will be customized with storage compartments specifically
designed for your personal supplies. The On-Board Services Team will perfectly maintain every inch of the
aircraft interior. The Aircraft Maintenance Group not only provides uncompromised aircraft maintenance and
documentation, they maintain, clean, and polish every aircraft exterior to like-new standards. No hourly
labor invoicing — ever.
All members of the Corporate Eagle flight crew are full-time, thoroughly trained, captain-qualified
pilots dedicated to their profession. At Corporate Eagle, it's a privilege to immerse Members in an
exceptional luxury-travel experience like none other.
A commitment to ensuring Members have a seamless and comfortable travel experience does not end when
you leave Southeast Michigan. When you are away from home, whether across the country or across the
globe, we have you covered with a new alliance with United Kingdom-based, publicly traded Air Partner.
No matter where in the world you are, simply call the Flight Operations Team, and we will quickly and
seamlessly arrange an aircraft through our Air Partner alliance to meet you where you are. We will bill
you back at net cost, and the days will not count against your contract.
In addition to providing private air support on-demand when you're away from the Southeast Michigan home
base, Air Partner also serves as the primary backup for the Corporate Eagle fleet in the event that your
aircraft is unavailable.
We invested significant time and effort into selecting the best possible strategic partner for Corporate Eagle,
and are fully confident that Air Partner is the one. Their reputation for safety and service excellence aligns
perfectly with ours, and with a global network of 20 offices spanning North America, Europe, the Middle East and
Asia, they greatly enhance our geographic reach — ensuring you can go anywhere in the world when you need to. Air
Partner has been in business since 1961, and is the preferred supplier of many Fortune 500 companies, governments,
and private individuals worldwide. In fact, in 2015, Air Partner was awarded the Excellence in Corporate Aviation
Award by World Commerce Review — a true testament to their excellence and fit for us.
Corporate Eagle's great people are at the heart of everything we do. Their passion, spirit,
dedication, and pride are the fuel for the entire operation, and the reason we are able to
provide Members with exemplary safety and experiences, without compromise. Whether they have
been here for one year or 20 years, delivering an outstanding experience means more to this
team than just checking items off a list — it is part of who we are.
