Aircraft Sales

Valuation is where most sellers lose money without knowing it. Year and make are just the starting point. What actually drives value is the specific configuration, avionics suite, engine and APU program enrollment, maintenance status, and how the aircraft has been operated and documented. We track what aircraft are actually selling for, not just what they're listed at, and we know what buyers in this market are paying attention to right now. That analysis shapes how we price, how we position, and when we recommend going to market. Getting it wrong at the start is expensive and hard to recover from.

International transactions are a different process entirely. The regulatory path, tax exposure, import and export requirements, and registration transfers vary significantly by jurisdiction, and getting the sequencing wrong affects both timing and what the seller nets. We bring in the right specialists early, whether that's international aviation counsel, tax advisors familiar with the destination country, or customs brokers, and we coordinate that team through closing. The goal is that complexity never becomes your problem to manage. It gets anticipated, assigned, and resolved before it touches your timeline or your proceeds.

Aircraft sales have tax and legal dimensions that can affect both structure and timing, and they need to be worked in parallel with the transaction, not handed off at the end. We work alongside aviation-specific tax and legal advisors throughout the process. If you have existing counsel, we coordinate directly with them. If you need introductions, we have relationships with specialists who understand how these deals actually work. Either way, that side of the transaction stays connected to the deal, not separate from it.
