Aircraft Selection and Sourcing

AirFleet Global provides clients an unparalleled expertise in professional evaluation, selection, sourcing, acquisition and trading of both new-build and pre-owned jet aircraft, ensuring total confidence and peace of mind. Members of our advisory team have successfully managed multiple transactions through to completion, including new orders and deliveries, VIP airliner conversions, all principal corporate jet types including in particular Airbus, Boeing, Challenger, Falcon, Global Express and Gulfstream models, mid-size jets, turboprops and helicopters, in fact well over 300 aircraft of all types over more than 35 years.

Our team has comprehensive knowledge, understanding and experience of the particular characteristics, performance and operational considerations associated with each type, having operated each in day-to-day service in both private and commercial sectors. We constantly track every jet aircraft and helicopter on the global market to ensure up-to-date information on trends, availability and status, with typically up to 10-12% of the global corporate fleet being offered, either openly or discreetly, at any time. Particular focus is on aircraft on the discreet market, not otherwise advertised or otherwise known to be available, and the onward sale of pre-contracted new aircraft advance delivery positions.

When acquiring on your behalf, we are able to move through the market protecting your anonymity and without causing ripples or alerting sellers to an active purchaser, also, operating under an exclusive and fully transparent fixed fee mandate, with the ability to independently and impartially review individual candidate aircraft histories, current technical condition and value, identifying ‘best buys’.
