Scissortail Aviation Advisors Launches With a New Approach to Business Aviation Consulting
Austin, Texas – September 8, 2025 – Scissortail Aviation Advisors today announced its official launch as a Texas-based consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses and individuals make smarter aviation decisions. Founded by aviation professional Clayton Corn, the firm takes a fresh approach to consulting by leveraging a flexible network of highly qualified industry experts rather than relying on a large permanent staff.

This model allows Scissortail Aviation Advisors to harness specialized expertise on demand—bringing in associate advisors for charter operations, acquisitions, asset management, regulatory compliance, tax strategy, and other areas as needed. Each client receives guidance shaped by the right experts for their situation, resulting in deeper insight, broader perspective, and more effective solutions.

“The aviation industry is broad and complex, and no single firm or individual can claim to be an expert in every area,” said Clayton Corn, Founder of Scissortail Aviation Advisors. “Our model lets us assemble a team of associate advisors based on a client’s specific needs, bringing the right people to the table at the right time. That way, we deliver not just answers, but the best possible answers.”

Scissortail’s Core Services

Scissortail Aviation Advisors provides a full suite of Core Advisory Services designed to meet clients where they are in their aviation journey. For those seeking flexibility, the firm offers in-house charter solutions with direct access to the global charter marketplace, along with guidance on jet card programs and fractional ownership so clients can choose the best fit for their needs. For those considering ownership, Scissortail provides comprehensive acquisition support, guiding clients through every step of the process from market analysis and cost modeling to pre-purchase inspections and negotiations. And for aircraft owners, the firm offers ongoing asset management, overseeing maintenance, compliance, and operating costs while also connecting clients with trusted aviation attorneys, tax professionals, and other key partners. As Corn notes, “We’re not aviation lawyers or tax advisors ourselves, but we know the best in the business, and we make sure our clients have the right team beside them.”

In addition, the firm provides Operational Guidance to help organizations structure their aviation activities safely and efficiently. This includes advising on flight department setup and oversight, assisting companies in building in-house operations or evaluating outsourced solutions, and ensuring safety and compliance with FAA regulations and industry best practices. Scissortail also assists clients in evaluating vendors and partners, ensuring that every operator, maintenance provider, and insurer is a strong fit for their values and goals.

Finally, Scissortail’s Strategic Consulting practice helps clients think long term. The firm works with business leaders to identify opportunities for cost optimization and efficiency, benchmark operations against industry standards, and align aviation assets with larger organizational goals. Clients also benefit from tailored market insights, including charter trends, aircraft resale values, and emerging opportunities across regions—giving decision-makers the clarity and confidence they need to plan for the future.

With its roots in Texas but a reach that extends worldwide, Scissortail Aviation Advisors blends approachable professionalism with access to a broad bench of industry expertise. The firm’s focus is on listening first, guiding clients through complexity, and connecting them with the very best resources the industry has to offer.
