Southern Sky Aviation

Southern Sky Aviation is a Birmingham-area business aviation company with a corporate address in Vestavia Hills, Alabama and a repair station at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM).

Its sales and consulting arm represents buyers and sellers of business aircraft, covering acquisitions, sales, pre-purchase evaluations and ownership decisions. The company presents this advice alongside experience in aircraft management, charter operations, maintenance and FBO services.

Charter flights are run by an affiliated entity, Southern Sky Aviation Charters LLC, which the company lists under FAA air carrier certificate 365A2510. Maintenance is carried out under an FAA Part 145 repair station certificate (6KYR204D) at Birmingham. Its website schema also references FBO operations linked to Northwest Florida Beaches (ECP) and Trent Lott International (PQL) airports.

Charter marketplaces list light and midsize Cessna Citation jets on its certificate, though the aircraft listed differ between sources, so buyers and charter clients should confirm the current fleet directly. Aviation press reported in 2020 that the company opened a charter base in Scottsdale, Arizona.

For buyers and sellers, the combination of in-house charter, management and maintenance may be relevant when an aircraft is expected to be placed on a charter certificate after purchase.
