Identification
What are your needs and preferences – where do you want to fly, how many passengers, small or large cabin?
What kind of budget do you have – do you want to buy a new or used aircraft?
With this information in mind, we will be able to start focusing on finding the best possible aircraft type for your needs!
Market Research
We will reach out to the world!
All aircraft owners and operators with an aircraft that might be suitable for you will be contacted by us. This in order to get a clear picture of what is available on the market.
Valuation
All available aircraft will be carefully compared to each other to sort out the most attractive and interesting candidates.
At a quick glance many aircraft might look very much the same but there are a lot of variables to analyse and valuate. It’s very easy to be blinded by a nice paint & interior.
Negotiation
Until this stage, we will not know which aircraft is the “most bang for the bucks”.
We will negotiate price, terms and conditions with the sellers of the more interesting aircraft.
If we come to an agreement a letter of Intent (LOI) will be entered and thereafter, in due time, an Aircraft Purchase Agreement (APA) will follow.
Inspection
Before deciding if we want to proceed with the purchase, we must deeply investigate the technical status of the aircraft.
At the Pre-Visual Inspection, we will get a first impression of the aircraft – Has it been pampered, are the books in order etc.
If the aircraft passes the first eye of the needle it’s now time for the Pre-Purchase Inspection. A skilled team chosen by us will go through the technical status of the aircraft and make sure it fulfills the conditions in the APA.
By doing this thoroughly we will not only get a good snapshot of the current status but also minimize the risk of future negative surprises!
Closing
When the time comes the ownership change will take place in a safe and secure way.
Prior to Closing, we are making sure that all paperwork needed for the transfer is filled out and lodged together with the purchase funds at a well-established Title company.
Delivery
Let the fun begin – It’s time to bring your new aircraft home!
We can assist you with certain parts of bringing the aircraft to its new home or take full responsibility for the entire process.
