About us
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.
AcheterUnAvion acts as an intermediary. The company is not an air carrier and does not hold an air operator certificate. Commercial air transport is performed by certificated operators. Valuations published on this site are indicative and do not constitute an appraisal.
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.
