Why It Matters

The Case for Independent Advisory

Brokers Represent Sellers

Aviation brokers are paid commissions by sellers. An independent private jet consultant is retained by and obligated to the buyer alone — with no commission tied to which aircraft you buy or whether you buy at all.

Pre-Purchase Scope Is Everything

A poorly scoped pre-purchase inspection misses defects that cost more post-closing than the inspection itself. We develop the scope, select the facility, and attend in person — with type-specific Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Cessna Citation experience.

Technical Detail Changes Value

Engine programme status, avionics certification, and records completeness each independently affect acquisition risk and residual value. Our FAA-appointed principals evaluate these on every transaction — not a generalist checklist.

Our Team

Advisors Who Have Operated the Aircraft.

Every transaction is led by principals with direct operational experience in the aircraft — not generalist consultants or junior associates.
