Operating @Nomadic_OMD is much more than the public view of pilots flying airplanes. It takes a very experienced team and detailed planning to make these flight ops happen and turn a profit. Decades of trial and error by @JTTsteve and myself have created a very efficient flight ops platform, one that has survived some very challenging economic cycles over the last 2 decades.
Here is a little view into the business side of Nomadic:

Flights are planned and quoted months ahead of time. At this stage we est costs which are based on market rates and historic cost data that we have tracked for over 20 years.

We maintain accurate data on line items such as:

•Fuel
•Ground Handling/Parking
•Permits
•Overflight and Navigation Fees
•Customs Import/Export Fees
•Flight Crews
•Travel/Lodging

Those costs are variable on a trip by trip basis.

Other costs that we have to consider are the fixed costs:

•Employee Salaries (Project Managers, Dispatchers, Bookeeper, Accountant, Travel Managers)
•Insurance
•Flight Planning Software
•Project Mgt and Internal Communications Software
•Legal Fees (We use 3 different Attys for various uses)
•CPA
•Phones, Computers, Satellite Comm and other hardware required to stay in comms and operate worldwide.

Nomadic is considered a small business, but it is far from being ran like a flying club or mom and pop business. Aside from the business side, we also have an operational side of the business which is equally important .
I use the proven frameworks we have developed at Nomadic and use them to build the businesses we grow @GAVAIRCAP
