Acquisition support

Choosing an aircraft involves a lot of moving parts, and we keep them in order. We shortlist suitable aircraft, arrange the pre-purchase inspection and negotiate the contract, making sure the choice fits how you fly, what you want to spend and what matters to you. We look after the detail, so you know what to expect at handover.

Pre-purchase inspections

Before you commit, we arrange a thorough inspection with specialists we trust. They examine the aircraft’s condition, its history and its maintenance records, so problems come to light before they cost you money. You come away knowing what the aircraft is really worth, and can decide with confidence.

Pre-purchase inspections

Maintenance, upgrades and refits

Major inspections, avionics upgrades and new interiors or paint are among the biggest bills an owner faces. We help you plan the work, compare quotes from qualified maintenance and refit centres, and keep watch until the aircraft is back in service: on time, within budget and finished as agreed.

Aircraft parts sourcing and sales

Through our partner network, we can draw on a large inventory of well-priced aircraft parts for jets, turboprops and turbine helicopters. We can also sell the spares you no longer use, and each part comes with the certificates and paper trail your engineers will need.

Aircraft engine sourcing and sales

Buying, selling or swapping an engine is a major transaction. We find serviceable and overhauled engines, market engines for sale, and arrange exchanges or outright purchases, checking the records and condition before you sign.
