Independent aircraft broker
Buy a private jet knowing exactly what you are paying for
We handle the purchase, sale, management and charter of business aircraft. Every aircraft gets a valuation broken down factor by factor, with the source of each figure. You see the price and you see how it was reached.

What we do
Buying, selling, management, charter and revenue operation
Most brokers handle one of these and refer the rest. Value leaks at every handover. We run all five ourselves.
Buy an aircraft
We represent the buyer and nobody else. Requirement definition, worldwide market search, pre-purchase inspection oversight, escrow, closing, delivery and import.
- Exclusive buyer-side mandate
- Pre-purchase inspection oversight
- Escrow and title search
- Import, VAT and registration
Sell an aircraft
Exclusive mandate, evidence-based pricing, controlled marketing. We establish what your aircraft is worth before we quote the market a number.
- Documented valuation
- Marketing to qualified buyers
- Offer handling and negotiation
- Closing and export
Aircraft management
Crew, maintenance, continuing airworthiness, insurance and budget. One monthly statement, reconciled to the flight hour.
- CAMO coordination
- Crew recruitment and type rating
- Maintenance planning
- Budget and monthly reporting
Private jet charter
On-demand flights sourced across several operators and priced line by line, positioning included. Passengers never see those empty legs and always pay for them.
- Competitive operator sourcing
- Itemised quote, every cost separated
- Slots, overflight permits and customs
- Round-the-clock trip support
Revenue operation
Placing your aircraft on an air operator certificate so it earns during your idle weeks, without becoming the spare capacity an operator sells first.
- Placement on an AOC
- Owner priority written into the contract
- Revenue forecast
- Monthly utilisation reporting
Aircraft valuation
What your aircraft is worth, and on what basis
Most valuations amount to a number in a PDF. Ours returns the figure and the twelve factors that produced it, each with its weight and its source. Where a figure is missing we say so, and the range widens.

Coverage
Coverage measures how much of the model received real input. A poorly documented aircraft does not get a confident price. It gets a wide range and a list of what is missing to narrow it.
What we do not know is written down
A factor we cannot calculate is removed from the calculation. We never swap in an average that would look neutral. That stand-in then spreads through everything downstream without anyone noticing.
References, not substitutes
External references sit beside our figure so you can see whether the model has drifted. They never replace it.
How an acquisition runs
Nine stages, and you follow all of them
Every stage carries a document, a date and a name. Nothing moves forward because somebody says it has.
- 01
Requirement definition
Mission profile, runway constraints, range with real payload, budget including the first two years of ownership.
- 02
Market search
Every candidate, advertised or not, with our valuation beside each asking price.
- 03
Shortlist
Three to five ranked aircraft, with the reason each one is on the list and the finding that would take it off.
- 04
Letter of intent
Price, deposit, inspection scope and walk-away conditions agreed before anybody travels.
- 05
Pre-purchase inspection
At a facility with no commercial relationship to the seller. Discrepancy list priced, then negotiated.
- 06
Escrow
Funds and title with an independent escrow agent. We never touch client money.
- 07
Closing
Bill of sale, deregistration, registration, lien search and release, insurance bound.
- 08
Delivery
Ferry flight, import, VAT position, crew familiarisation, handover of the operating manual.
- 09
First year
Maintenance plan, budget against actuals, valuation refreshed at twelve months.
How we are paid and what we are not
The conflicts of interest, written down
This industry keeps its incentives to itself. Here are ours.
We never hold client funds
Purchase money moves through an independent escrow agent who also runs the title search. We are not a party to that account.
One side per transaction
We act for the buyer or for the seller, never both. Dual agency is the exact point at which a broker's interest stops matching yours.
Our fee does not follow the price you pay
On a buy-side mandate we are paid a fixed fee agreed before the search starts. A percentage of the purchase price would reward us for you overpaying.
We are not an air operator
Charter is tendered across several operators on the merits of each trip. We have no fleet to fill.
The regulatory position
Commercial air transport requires an AOC in Europe or a Part 135 certificate in the United States, held by an operator. Continuing airworthiness sits with an approved CAMO. We coordinate both without pretending to be either.
Where we work
Wherever the aircraft happens to be
An aircraft is a mobile asset and its market is worldwide. A seller in Sao Paulo, an inspection in Basel, a buyer in Riyadh and an escrow agent in Oklahoma City is an ordinary working week.
