Are you looking for a business jet or helicopter and need assistance with your purchase?

Whether business jet, private jet, corporate jet, business airplane or helicopter, there are many terms, but the value proposition is central: safety, time savings, flexibility in travel planning, a relaxed atmosphere on board and, last but not least, lifestyle.

However, the purchase of a second-hand aircraft is a highly complex process and requires in-depth industry and market knowledge. In addition, a comprehensive economic and financial analysis as well as a technical evaluation is advisable in order to minimize the purchase risk.
We offer customized services, such as the search and pre-selection of suitable business jets or helicopters, economic and technical advice or we can take over the entire purchase process for you. With our experience from over 200 completed purchases and sales of business jets and helicopters, we support you in ensuring the long-term economic operation of your own aircraft.

Before buying THE aircraft

Analysis of your requirements and evaluation of purchase-relevant criteria

In a first step, we work with you to find out which aircraft type suits your personal requirements. To do this, we select all purchase-relevant criteria such as range, year of manufacture, equipment features such as number of seats, interior layout, technical components, EASA or FAA certification capability, purchase price, maintenance costs, etc.

Our advice and selection are objective and take your personal and economic aspects into account.

Market research

Based on the selected criteria, we search the international market for suitable aircraft and make a pre-selection for you. The basis for this is a review of aircraft characteristics such as number of airframe hours, landings, engine cycles, status of checks, maintenance and inspections, maintenance programs for engines and parts, etc.

Thanks to our worldwide network and in particular our personal contact with many aircraft owners and maintenance companies, we can also research suitable aircraft off-market.

Communication and negotiation with potential sellers

During the research process, we take care of contacting and negotiating with sellers and brokers for you. With our comprehensive knowledge of the market, we also lay the foundations for realistic price negotiations, presenting you with the results of our pre-selection and the prices achieved and providing you with a regular report of the most important negotiation steps.

Cost analysis and preparation of a financial plan

When acquiring a previously owned aircraft, the ongoing operating costs are highly relevant in addition to the purchase price, and we analyze the ongoing operating costs of the selected aircraft type for you in relation to your planned usage behavior.

Based on this, we draw up a financial plan with all fixed and variable costs and optimize it in cooperation with your tax advisor.
