Aircraft Acquisitions
Today, aircraft buyers expect more from their broker than ever before and we rise to the challenge.
Finding the Right Aircraft for You
Our worldwide relationships with aircraft manufacturers, brokers, dealers, bankers, service providers, and operators, as well as our advanced database allow us to successfully bring buyers and sellers together in today’s global market. Whether your perfect aircraft is sitting in Boston, Brazil, or Belgium, we have a proven process, expertise, and the relationships to help you seize a great opportunity.
A Process to Seize Opportunities
We believe so strongly in our processes that we buy and sell aircraft ourselves, not just broker them. That’s not just a statement of our financial strength – it’s putting our own resources to work based on the proven processes we employ for our clients. Purchasing aircraft for our own inventory is an advantage few aviation companies are able to do, which provides us with a dynamic insight that can help you seize a great opportunity.
We definitely were able to purchase our aircraft at a lower price…
As you predicted, we definitely were able to purchase our aircraft at a lower price compared to what we would have spent without your company. You prevented us from having too much money on the table. The fact that we have been aircraft operators since 1971 did not qualify us to really know the true fair market value.”

How we can help
Aircraft Evaluation/Selection
We work hand-in-hand with you to guide and consult on the purchase process. We start by helping you identify the proper aircraft to fit your travel needs. Our research and marketing teams work together to provide you with a market analysis and a complete technical comparison for each aircraft under consideration. With our in-depth knowledge of every aircraft model, we analyze the aircraft condition, hourly operational costs, estimated maintenance expenditures, and future resale value to give you the data you need to make a well-informed decision.
Plane Finder
Buyers value our attention to detail, strategic and analytical acquisition process, in-depth communication, and our professional and persistent follow up. To get started, use our Plane Finder.
Airplane Library
Interested in a aircraft but want to learn more about it? Feel free to use our Airplane Library. We can answer any questions you may have quickly.
Pre-Owned Aircraft
Managing the Process
Once an aircraft has been identified that meets your needs or we find a buyer for your aircraft, we facilitate the agreement for the transaction. We are there for you from the negotiation phase to the aircraft inspection, to the closing and beyond.
Market Research
We will research an aircraft to a targeted audience using advanced technology, exclusive to GAS, ensuring the right aircraft at the right price from around the world will be found.
Contract Negotiations
Upon receipt of authorization to make an offer on an aircraft, GAS will expeditiously generate a Letter of Intent utillizing a generally accepted NARA standard agreement that will be modified to fit your needs. GAS will then advise of any counter offer that is returned along with the options suggested, if necessary.
Pre-Purchase Inspection Assistance
GAS will advise a pre-purchase inspection of the aircraft, which typically requires the Seller to rectify discrepancies discovered during the inspection. We will advise you on ways to maximize the pre-purchase inspection as the purchaser.
Ensuring a Successful Closing
GAS highly recommends the aircraft transaction take place utilizing an Aviation Title and Escrow Agent, who will work closely with GAS to ensure all required documentation are in their possession to transfer the aircraft with a free and clear title to you.
Post-Buy Services
Well after the ink has dried on the contact, we are still available to provide advice and answer your aviation ownership and operation questions. Every client is provided with a variety of technical services and assistance. We will stay in contact with you throughout the ownership of your aircraft, keeping you up-to-date with Market Update Reports so you can see how the market is doing and the current value of your aircraft.
Financing Assistance
Having trouble securing financing for your aircraft purchase? While we don’t provide financing ourselves, as members of the National Aircraft Association (NAFA) we have developed strong banking relationships both here and abroad. We can often assist our clients with the right introductions and access to financial programs that might not be available to them directly. Contact us to discuss your needs and see if we can help.
