If you want to buy an aircraft, we’ll ask you how you plan to use it, to arrive at a mission profile and the optimal aircraft for you to acquire. If you are selling an aircraft, we’ll want to know if you plan to replace it. Or are you considering other solutions going forward such as fractional ownership, leasing, jet cards or charter? Answers to these questions and others will give us a clear picture of your needs and help us start to locate your next aircraft and consider your financial options.
