Private Jet Consultants

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. We have personally flown, inspected, acquired, and managed the aircraft we advise on.

Our Principals

The Team

Captain Ivan Klugman — President, Private Jet Consultants
Capt. Ivan Klugman
President & Principal Advisor

Thirty years of commercial and business aviation experience spanning airline captaincy, VIP aircraft acquisition advisory, and pre-purchase inspection management across four continents. Ivan founded Integral Aviation Solutions Inc. to bring genuine operational expertise to aircraft transactions.

His hands-on experience with Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Cessna Citation platforms — combined with FAA designation authority — means every transaction benefits from the judgment of someone who has personally operated the aircraft, not just studied it.
