Fractional ownership, aircraft management, and acquisition advisory, led by five airline captains — with charter to follow upon FAA Part 135 certification.
The six brothers grew up with a love of aviation — looking to the sky as children, and promising themselves that one day they would fly.
That promise was kept. Five became airline captains; the sixth, a software engineer and technology expert. Together, their careers have spanned major passenger and cargo airlines around the world — on the flight deck, in training and checking, and in flight-operations management.
Not just six brothers — six professional careers. Between them, the five captains hold type ratings on the Boeing 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, and 787 and the Airbus A320 family, A330, and A340, and have served as FAA Designated Examiners, safety inspectors, chief pilots, fleet managers, check airmen, and airline instructors. One hundred fifteen combined years in the air — no accidents, no incidents.
What We Do
Services built around your aircraft.
i.
Fractional Ownership
A share of an aircraft with consistent crews and predictable costs, operated under FAA Part 91.
Your aircraft, run to airline standards: crew, maintenance oversight, scheduling, compliance, insurance — and, upon FAA Part 135 certification, charter revenue that offsets your cost of ownership.
Upon FAA Part 135 certification, your aircraft can fly vetted charter clients when you are not aboard — with the revenue offsetting your fixed costs. Transparent monthly reporting, no hidden margins on fuel or maintenance, and owner reporting tools developed in-house.
Our captains’ careers span turboprops and corporate aircraft through international widebody command. Whatever the aircraft, and whether the trip is Detroit to Miami or New York to Dubai, the standard is the same.
United States · The Gulf · Worldwide
One aircraft. Two worlds.
For owners whose lives move between the Gulf and America: a US-based, captain-owned company with airline experience on both ends of the journey.
Based in America
A US company built to FAA standards, with experience in N-registration, US airspace, and customs procedures — and captains who fly into American airports every week.
At Home in the Gulf
Our family’s roots are in the Gulf, and Arabic and English are spoken in the flight deck and the front office. Our captains’ airline careers include years of flying in and out of the region.
International Experience
All five captains are experienced international pilots. Between them: command time across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, oceanic operations, overflight permits, slot coordination, and alternate planning.
For international leasing companies and asset owners: SkySix can coordinate delivery, U.S. registration, and conversion and conformity work with qualified partners, then manage the aircraft to FAA standards — one accountable point of contact, led by captains with airline fleet-introduction experience.
i.
Registry & Trust Transitions
N-registration through recognized FAA owner trustees; import, deregistration, and export coordination.
ii.
Conversion & Conformity
Records review, maintenance conformity, pre-lease and redelivery inspections, completion and refurbishment oversight.
iii.
Management & Operations
Crewing, training, insurance, and technical management, with open-book reporting to the lessor.
iv.
Revenue Operations
Charter placement and lease-manage structures, available upon FAA Part 135 certification, in the world’s largest business aviation market.
Safety is not a feature. It is the operating system.
One hundred fifteen combined years in the air — no accidents, no incidents. Every standard we publish is auditable, and we name each certification only on the day it is earned.
FAA Part 135In certification
Application under active FAA review. Charter and commercial operations begin only when the certificate is in hand.
Safety Management System
Our Safety Management System — hazard reporting, risk assessment, and a just culture — is written and submitted to the FAA, ahead of the FAA’s 2027 requirement for Part 135 operators.
ARGUS · Wyvern · IS-BAO
Independent safety audits recognized by charter brokers and flight departments — ARGUS, Wyvern, and IS-BAO — to be pursued once SkySix has the operating history they require.

That experience — overseas airports, overflight and slot coordination, and crew and weather planning across time zones — is what he brings to owners and partners whose aircraft travel internationally, particularly between the United States and the Gulf.
At SkySix, Raid leads business development and owner relationships, drawing on his flying background and on years of experience running a business of his own.
