What does it cost to sell an aircraft through a broker?

A commission on the sale, agreed up front — nothing to list, nothing while it is on the market. The exact terms depend on the aircraft and the mandate, and we put them in writing before anything is signed.

How long does it take to sell an aircraft?

It depends on the type, the price and the season — a correctly priced turboprop can move in weeks, an unusual airframe can take longer. What we will not do is buy speed with a valuation the market later corrects.

What do you need from me to get started?

The records, the specification as you know it, and access for photography. We handle the rest — and if the logbooks are somewhere between three hangars, that is a normal Tuesday, not a problem.

Aircraft broker to three continents

Sell your aircraftto a buyer, not a listing site

A listing reaches whoever happens to be looking this week. A broker reaches the operators, owners and buyers already on the books — on three continents, most of whom never browse a website. Tell us what you are selling and we will tell you, honestly, what it should fetch.

What selling through us involves

From valuation to closing,one mandate

Valuation

What comparable airframes have actually traded at — not what they are listed at. An honest number at the start saves months at the end.

Preparation

Specification drawn from the records, photography that shows the aircraft as it stands, and the brochure buyers expect to be handed.

Marketing

Listed here, mailed to the buyers already on our books, and worked quietly through the operators and brokers we deal with — most placements never needed the public listing.

Qualifying buyers

Serious enquiries separated from tyre-kickers before they reach you. You hear about the buyer who can close, not every message.

Negotiation & inspection

Offer, letter of intent, pre-purchase inspection — managed so the deal survives the survey rather than dying on it.

Closing

Escrow, contracts, export and import paperwork, deregistration and delivery. Both sides reach the end intact.

Why a broker

The market you can see is the smaller half

Much of what we place never reaches the website — matched directly to an acquisition mandate already on our books. A private sale saves the commission and spends it twice over on the price, the paperwork, or the deal that quietly dies at inspection.

Decades placing jets, turboprops, pistons and rotorcraft from offices in South Africa, the United Kingdom, Dubai and Singapore — and a record of aircraft actually sold, which you can read on the current inventory.
