AVEM AERO OU

Some flights are routine; others are the stuff of aviation legends.

At AVEM AERO OÜ, we’ve handled countless ferry flights, but accompanying pilot and video blogger Vladimir Vasilyev on his journey from Germany to Cape Town was a true honor and a testament to why we do what we do. This was a 15,000 km aviation blockbuster.

Imagine a small, four-seater Beechcraft Bonanza transformed into a long-range marathoner. To make the leg from Europe to the southern tip of Africa, the passenger seats were occupied by additional fuel tanks (which meant the cameraman couldn’t join the flight).

The operation required the pilot to manage fuel transfers manually mid-flight (a high-stakes dance performed while suspended over some of the most remote corners of the world).

While the flight itself was a cinematic marvel, the "behind-the-scenes" logistics quickly turned into a geopolitical thriller. As Vladimir’s flight support team, we lived every twist and turn with him. Africa is a beautiful continent, but for a small aircraft, it is a bureaucratic and tactical labyrinth where agents are not just a luxury, but a survival necessity.

One remark from Vladimir’s video captures it best:
don’t even think about flying to Africa without an agent.

Our team worked around the clock to navigate a shifting landscape of challenges:

With Khartoum closed due to conflict, we spent days battling for permits. We dealt with requirements that bordered on the surreal, including the need to physically deliver payment checks to government offices in Port Sudan.

When Sudan ultimately denied entry due to security risks (warning that the aircraft could be shot down below a certain altitude) our team had to rapidly re-route the entire mission through Saudi Arabia and Eritrea.

Supporting this mission was a masterclass in resilience and teamwork. We are incredibly proud of our flight support team, who navigated the paperwork so Vladimir could navigate the clouds.

I highly recommend watching the vlog of this journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaU73OEUJXk. It is a stunning tribute to the courage of pilots and the breathtaking beauty of our world, from the peaks of the Alps to the Cape of Good Hope.

We’re pleased to share the successful ex*****on of our first cargo charter flight in cooperation with SuperNova Airlines.

In January, an urgent cargo flight was operated from Ostrava to Birmingham using a Boeing 737-800, ensuring fast and reliable delivery of time-critical cargo. This operation highlighted what strong partnerships are about: speed, flexibility, and clear coordination when timelines are tight.

For urgent or planned cargo charter requests, our team is ready to support you end-to-end.

Automotive charter demand is softening, and the data confirms it.

Recent market commentary, including a report from hashtag , confirms a clear trend: automotive-related charter demand is declining.

On our side, we see the same pattern. However, this is not a contraction of the charter market.

Reduced automotive activity is being replaced by growth in other sectors:
– military and government-related movements
– industrial and manufacturing cargo
– complex, time-critical projects

That’s the reality we’re working in now.

How does this compare with what you’re seeing in your region?

In this video, our CEO, Nikolay Kurbanov, shares how his passion for aviation and background in software engineering came together to create the AVEM AERO platform — a charter management software designed to connect sales, operations, clients, and suppliers in one place.

What started as a personal challenge has evolved into a solution that enables sales and ops teams to work faster, reduce errors, and deliver more efficient services.

We’re proud to share how our team at AVEM AERO supported two incredible intercontinental missions — a Cessna 421 crossing the North Atlantic and a Cirrus SR22 flying all the way to Japan.

For private pilots, these flights are more than travel — they’re personal milestones that demand precision, flexibility, and trust.
Our OCC and Flight Support teams handled every stage: permits, fuel, coordination, and route planning — so pilots could focus on what matters most: the flight itself.

Recently we provided full flight support services for our client — a private pilot and travel blogger — on his exciting journey from the Czech Republic to the USA with a stop in Greenland.

We recommend watching a fascinating film about this long-distance ferry flight on a Cessna 421, which you’ll find at the link below.

Supporting private pilots is always dynamic. Many tasks are solved on the fly and often over a simple phone call. Flight and PPR planning, fuel, parking, communication with airports, catering, NOTAM review, as well as financial management — we handle it all, including making advance payments in different currencies so pilots can simply fly and settle costs later.

Need a team that’s ready for anything? Let’s fly.

Рівень ризику як у венчурних інвестиціях: що допоможе потрапити в нішу термінової карго авіації на ринку ЄС

Running an urgent air cargo business is like being a venture capitalist — the risks are too high

More than happy to see that Nikolay Kurbanov experience is of interest to business publications outside the aviation community.

“We were selling the flight at night, operating it during the day, and returning the plane to the homebase airport in the evening”

Paying a fixed monthly fee, whether you fly or not, is a money-losing model in the urgent air cargo niche. Fixed-term charters are an unpredictable business, there are statistics, but they are like a “black swan” — you can calculate up to a certain point, and then everything changes. We work in a niche where little can be predicted, respectively — guaranteed. The guaranteed payment model is initially unacceptable for us, although this is the standard model for regular programs.

What we did instead: we picked up planes any day of the week when they were on stand-by at a company that operates regular cargo transportation.

They were saying: tomorrow or the day after tomorrow the plane is free, and we take it to work. It is impossible for a regular air cargo company because of the bureaucratic process. We have a flexible management model, so we can take a plane for a few days. Thus, the partner increases the efficiency of the fleet, and we have the opportunity to earn.

The idea seemed crazy, but it worked. We were using the gaps in the schedule of regular flights in the daytime (from 6 UTC to 18 UTC). We were selling the flight at night, operating it during the day, and returning the plane to the homebase airport in the evening. This is how our relationship developed."
