How to buy a Private Jet, Business Jet or Corporate Helicopter:
There have been many articles written on how to by an aircraft but this not an article that you read that claims to give you enough knowledge to buy your own aircraft. Quite frankly you cannot acquire enough knowledge to go it on your own aircraft by reading a few of these articles. A lot of what is required comes from experience.
I am an aviation consultant with thirty years of experience in the industry and I can tell you that it requires at least three consultants to do the job. I being the primary consultant during this process I bring into the loop an aviation attorney and an aviation accountant. I have experienced individuals that I match with the needs of my clients in regard to the legal and accounting aspects of the transaction. I handle the negotiations with the seller whether that is a manufacturer of a new aircraft or the owner of a pre-owned aircraft. I also arrange and oversee the pre-purchase of pre owned aircraft or the acceptance process and completion oversight of a new aircraft. Like a conductor of an orchestra I see to it that we are all reading the same sheet of music and playing our parts at the right time.
I have had a recent experience speaking with a manufacturer’s representative indicating that they preferred the client comes directly to them, I guess they want to be able to slaughter the lamb. The fact is that all the aircraft manufacturers have negotiated the terms of purchase of their aircraft, this is the “secret” they don’t want you to know. The interior options a manufacture offers are very limited and in the interest of keeping their productions number up they discourage many customizations that can be easily be accomplished. An aircraft completion management firm can offer you almost anything you desire even if it requires taking a “green” delivery and having a third party complete the aircraft to your liking. Do I need an aircraft completion oversight firm even though I’m buying new aircraft ? ABSOLUTLY POSITIVELY YES it is foolish not to have representation prior to your aircraft being on the assembly line. During the manufacturing and test flight process mistakes and accidents happen. If you don’t have a representative onsite you could be receiving one of these airframes. Granted this is not an everyday occurrence however having a representative onsite insures you will not be the recipient of an aircraft that has gone thought a non routine manufacturing or test flight process.
The Bottom line is that I don’t recommend that a layman try to purchase an
aircraft on their own. Don’t try to become an aviation professional overnight, hire a fee for service consultant that has your best interest in mind. An aviation consultant will make the whole acquisition process hassle free for you and give you the” peace of mind” knowing that you are getting an aircraft that is safe and will retain its value for years to come.
What sells a Private Jet aircraft or Helicopter?
An aircraft will sell itself, if it is appropriately priced for the condition that it is in.
We will send out our highly experienced team to do an in depth
aircraft valuation survey and produce an accurate specification sheet.
With this report and the industry resources available to us, we will give you an
accurate and honest Market Analysis of your aircraft.
Aircraft in prime condition with excellent history sell quickly at premium prices.
Aircraft in poor condition with disorganized records sell slowly at subprime prices.
Is it cost effective to bring your aircraft up to prime condition?
In most cases YES, bringing an aircraft up to the new EASA standards will allow it to be exported easily and increase its marketability. New paint, interior and recent heavy maintenance checks at a reputable center are always good selling points.
We can discuss these options with you.
Delray is building its business one satisfied client at a time. We always act in our client’s best interest. We will never knowing misrepresent an aircraft to make a sale this is poor policy that will not benefit anyone in the end. All buyers are advised to verify all specification with a comprehensive Aircraft Pre-Purchase inspection.
