What to Consider Before Buying or Selling an Aircraft

Aircraft transactions involve important financial, technical and operational decisions. Before moving forward, buyers and sellers should consider the following factors:

Start With the Aircraft’s Intended Use

Consider how you expect to use the aircraft, including typical routes, passenger needs, airport requirements, travel frequency, and operational expectations.

Review Aircraft Records

Maintenance history, logbooks, specifications, modifications, and other technical documentation can provide important context when evaluating an aircraft.

Compare Available Opportunities

Buyers should carefully compare relevant aircraft options. Sellers should understand how their aircraft is positioned against competing listings available to prospective buyers.

Consider Long-Term Ownership

The purchase price is only one component of aircraft ownership. Buyers should also consider ongoing operating, maintenance, storage, insurance, management, and ownership requirements.

Understand the Transaction Process

Aircraft purchases and sales may involve document reviews, inspections, due diligence, negotiations, escrow, and closing requirements. Professional aviation guidance can help clients navigate these stages effectively.
