Buying an aircraft
An acquisition starts with a brief: how you fly, how often, how far, how many passengers and what budget covers purchase and the years of operation that follow. From that we search the market, including aircraft that are not publicly listed, and bring back a shortlist with honest commentary on each one.
We then handle offers and the letter of intent, arrange the pre-purchase inspection, manage the technical and legal diligence and coordinate closing, registration and delivery, so you are represented at every step without having to run the process yourself.
Selling an aircraft
A sale begins with a realistic valuation based on comparable transactions, the aircraft's maintenance status and current demand for the type. We prepare the aircraft's story, market it to our network of buyers and brokers, qualify interest, negotiate on your behalf and manage the documentation through to completion.
Due diligence and technical oversight
The value of an aircraft lies in its records. We review maintenance history, programme enrolment, damage history and compliance before an inspection is booked, then oversee a pre-purchase inspection at an independent maintenance facility and translate the findings into a clear position on price and conditions.
Ownership, management and charter revenue
Before you buy, we set out the real cost of ownership: crew, hangarage, maintenance programmes, insurance and management fees, and whether placing the aircraft with a charter operator makes sense for your pattern of use. Where a management company or a charter arrangement is right, we introduce and help negotiate it.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an aircraft purchase take?
From brief to delivery, typically two to four months for a pre-owned aircraft, driven mainly by the inspection and the paperwork. A specific aircraft that is already identified can move faster.
Do you charge the buyer or the seller?
We act for one side of a transaction and are paid by the client we represent, so our advice is not shaped by the other party's interests.
Can you find aircraft that are not on the market?
Yes. A meaningful share of business aircraft change hands privately, and our operator and broker network is often where those opportunities surface first.
Do you handle registration and import?
We coordinate registration, deregistration, import and export formalities with specialist counsel and the relevant registries as part of the transaction.
Can you help me sell my current aircraft while buying the next one?
Yes. Running the sale and the purchase together is common, and we plan the timing so you are not left without an aircraft or carrying two.
