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.
“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.” Bob Watkins, Chairman & CEO, Rampmaster
Specifically we can help you with:
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. For more on the value we offer you, read Information Does Not = Intelligence.
