Aviation consultants Kestrel Aviation Management and Stratus Aviation Services have joined forces to form a new venture, Camber Aviation Management. The new entity aims to provide a range of services for corporate jet and VIP aircraft clients.

Kestrel, an aviation asset advisory and management company, previously had worked with corporate jet market consultant Stratus on a Boeing Business Jet project. That aircraft was on display at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva this past spring and entered service in August. The two companies are building on that effort with the formation of Camber.

“The principal motivation for launching Camber Aviation Management was to offer the market a completely integrated spectrum of services from green aircraft selection to delivery of the completed corporate jet,” said Stephen Vella, joint managing director of Camber.

The company can provide complete services from initial negotiations with the aircraft manufacturer through the aircraft purchase agreement; interfacing with interior designers; developing cabin concepts; preparing an outfitting specification; and negotiating a cabin outfitting agreement, Vella said.

Camber also will oversee the aircraft completion at all stages, he added.

The principals and staff of the venture have managed acquisitions and cabin outfitting of large corporate jets and VIP aircraft for two decades. “We have managed virtually every Airbus ACJ, Boeing BBJ and Bombardier variant, as well as Dassault and Gulfstream products,” said Tom Chatfield, joint managing director of Camber. This includes head-of-state projects.

Camber has signed cooperation agreements with suppliers, design organizations and completion centers to develop new technologies for upcoming corporate aircraft programs, the company said. “We will unveil Camber’s newest innovative cabin design at EBACE 2017,” Chatfield said.
