Aircraft acquisition

At a certain point, the rationale for purchasing an aircraft becomes greater than the recurring expense of chartering. A general rule is that if you fly around 150 hours a year, charter is your best option. Between 150 and 250, you may wish to consider fractional or shared ownership. And skyward of that, it is time to start thinking about owning.

If your need for business aircraft travel is frequent or routine, we can assist you in analysing opportunities for aircraft investment, aircraft financing (including operating leases), and aircraft operating cost budgets and calculations.

To get started, the first, most basic questions you will want to be able to answer are what distances do you expect to be travelling? With how many people? And how often? Your response will help us determine with you if, for example, a Citation Sovereign or similar class of aircraft might be the perfect fit for your frequent 1,500-mile excursions with around five accompanying passengers on board.

From there, with our extensive network in the used business aircraft market and with business aircraft manufacturers, in partnership with professionals who have long-standing experience in aircraft trading, we can guide you through the acquisition of an aircraft in a way that meets your needs and expectations in accordance with your budget, and can assist you in the selection of aircraft management and operatorship.
