Sell your aircraft without telling the market
Why sell an aircraft privately?
A publicly listed aircraft tells every buyer two things: that you want out, and how long you have wanted out. Days on market become negotiating leverage — against you. Charter clients, lenders, and counterparties draw their own conclusions. A confidential sale protects both your position and your price until terms are agreed.
A private sale inverts this. Qualified buyers are approached selectively, the aircraft never accumulates visible market age, and your reasons for selling remain yours.

What the sale mandate covers
- Records preparation — maintenance records, airframe and engine status, and program documentation organized before any buyer asks
- Documentation review — registration, title, liens, and ownership structure checked for clean transfer
- Valuation — grounded in closed transactions for your type, serial range, and configuration
- Operator and broker coordination — your management company and any existing broker relationships handled without friction
- Qualified buyer matching — principals and acquisition advisors with verified intent and funding, not tire-kickers
- Confidential negotiation — offers managed by the office; the buyer learns your flexibility only when terms are agreed
- Closing coordination — pre-purchase inspection, escrow, delivery, and de-registration sequenced properly
What determines your aircraft's value?
An aircraft's value is set by airframe hours and cycles against fleet averages, engine and APU program enrollment, and maintenance status — and decisively by records completeness, since gaps in logbooks are price events. Configuration, interior, connectivity, and a clean, fully disclosed damage history complete the picture. We benchmark all of it against actual closed sales.

- Engine and APU program enrollment — or the cost of its absence
- Maintenance status: what is fresh, what is due, what is deferred
- Records completeness — gaps in logbooks are price events
- Configuration, interior condition, and connectivity
- Registration history and damage history, fully disclosed
We tell you the realistic number before the mandate begins — with the comparables that support it.
FAQ
Selling a private jet — your questions
How do I sell my private jet discreetly?
Through a confidential sale: the aircraft is positioned to qualified buyers and brokers without a public fire-sale listing, your identity is protected until terms are agreed, and offers are negotiated on your side. Most well-documented airframes sell privately faster than owners expect, and without signalling distress.
What is my aircraft worth?
Value reflects make, model, year, total time, engine-program status, maintenance condition, and avionics — benchmarked against actual closed sales, not asking prices. We give you a defensible valuation and the records strategy to support it before any buyer sees the aircraft.
How long does it take to sell a private jet?
A well-documented aircraft at a sensible price typically sells in two to six months; rare or dated configurations take longer. We tell you the realistic window before the mandate begins, and we don't chase a quick close by giving away price.
What does it cost to sell a jet through a broker?
Our seller-side aircraft fee is 4–5% of the sale, success-based and confirmed in writing — we are paid when you are, and never from both sides of one deal. There is no listing fee and no spread; the incentive is a clean, strong closing for you.
