At the International Aircraft Broker Institute (IABI), our mission is to equip aviation professionals with the knowledge and tools to excel in an increasingly competitive industry. With that in mind, we are proud to introduce the Flight Operations 101 Masterclass, a comprehensive training designed to bridge the gap between sales and the operational backbone of private aviation.

Why Flight Operations Knowledge Matters

Many brokers focus solely on quoting and selling flights, leaving operational considerations entirely in the hands of the operator. While this approach may get the job done, it often leads to gaps in communication, unrealistic expectations, and costly oversights. The truth is simple: a broker who understands the “back end” of flight operations provides more value, builds stronger trust with clients, and strengthens long-term relationships with operators. 

What This Masterclass Covers

The Flight Operations 101 Masterclass dives deep into the key elements every broker should know before requesting or confirming a trip. Modules include:

• Airport Customs & Airport of Entry: Learn how to identify which airports require customs clearance and the procedures for landing at non-airport-of-entry destinations.

• Crew Visas & Regulations: Understand the rules surrounding crew visas and how they can impact trip planning.

• Aircraft Repositioning: Why asking where an aircraft is repositioning from, and when, is critical, and how to mitigate risks like weather delays or airport closures.

• Duty Time & Crew Rest: Gain insights into pilot limitations, rest requirements, and how they affect trip feasibility.

• Permits & Logistics: A closer look at how permits, handling, and ground logistics impact operations behind the scenes.

• Tools for Success: How to use platforms like AC-U-KWIK and AirNav to verify operational details and avoid costly mistakes.

Who This Masterclass Is For

• Brokers who want to stand out by offering more than just quotes.

• Operators’ sales teams need a stronger understanding of the client-facing side of operations.

• New entrants to the aviation industry are seeking a comprehensive foundation in flight logistics.

The IABI Advantage

This masterclass is not theory; it’s built from real-world practices, operational pitfalls, and the lessons learned from years of industry experience. At IABI, we don’t just teach you how to sell a flight; we prepare you to understand the entire journey of that flight. That’s what makes our graduates more valuable to clients and more respected by operators.
