Age alone does not determine safety
Safety cannot be measured by the year of manufacture alone
The determining factors are maintenance history, compliance with airworthiness directives, avionics generation and crew training...

Frequently Asked Questions
What people
ask us
Why sell through an exclusive broker?
Having several brokers trying to sell the same aircraft at the same time does not increase the chances of a sale; it creates confusion and distrust in the market. Exclusive representation is how the most experienced owners handle the asset. With an exclusive mandate, we fully dedicate our time and network to your aircraft, without price competition between brokers, unauthorized intermediaries or buyers becoming confused after speaking with different brokers about the same aircraft.
Why buy through an exclusive broker?
When several brokers search for the same aircraft for the same buyer, the market perceives more demand than what actually exists, which works against the buyer in negotiations. Exclusive representation gives you a single voice protecting your interests from the initial search to closing. We search, negotiate and manage each stage with complete focus and in alignment with the buyer’s interests, without diluting negotiating strength or creating confusion with the seller.
How long does it take to acquire my aircraft?
From acceptance of the offer until the aircraft is operational, a domestic aircraft transaction typically takes two to three months. When the aircraft comes from abroad, the import process usually adds about one month. The exact timeframe depends on the scope of the pre-purchase inspection and any findings, such as parts that need to be replaced.
Is an engine plan worthwhile?
It depends on the program, the engine and how much you fly. Some engine plans can extend the interval between engine shop visits and offer substantial value. Others, particularly for larger aircraft, require a minimum number of hours per year that some operators often do not reach, making them financially worthwhile mainly for those who fly more. In the turboprop resale market, aircraft without an engine program are generally well accepted. Beyond the financial calculation, a program offers peace of mind and predictability, which many clients value even when the numbers alone do not justify it. We provide a tailored cost-benefit analysis for each operating profile.
How much does it cost to operate a business aircraft?
Less than it may seem, and more than it may seem: it depends on the assumptions. Even a simple figure such as cost per flight hour incorporates decisions about fuel and airframe and engine maintenance programs. Some costs are also fixed, so the more you fly, the lower the cost per hour. Small differences in assumptions can significantly change the final result. Rather than giving a quick answer, we calculate costs specifically for each operating profile.
