Aircraft Acquisition
Cost-benefit analysis
Needs Assessment
The first step in aircraft acquisition is to determine the specific requirements and preferences of the buyer. This includes considering factors such as the intended use of the aircraft (e.g., personal travel, business transportation, cargo transport, etc.), range and performance capabilities, passenger capacity, budget constraints, and any special features or amenities desired.
Market Research
Once the requirements are identified, we conduct market research to explore available aircraft options that meet your criteria. This involves researching aircraft manufacturers, models, specifications, and pricing trends in the market.
Financing
Depending on your financial resources, financing options may need to be explored. Aircraft acquisition can involve significant upfront costs, and you may choose to finance the purchase through loans, leases, or other financial arrangements.
Selection and Inspection
After identifying potential aircraft candidates, we typically conduct thorough inspections and evaluations to assess the condition, maintenance history, and overall suitability of the aircraft. This may involve hiring aviation experts, engineers, or maintenance technicians to perform pre-purchase inspections and appraisals.
Negotiation and Purchase Agreement
Once a suitable aircraft is identified, negotiations ensue between us and the seller to agree on the purchase price and terms. This negotiation process may involve multiple rounds of offers and counteroffers until both parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Once terms are finalized, a purchase agreement is drafted outlining the terms and conditions of the sale.
Due Diligence and Legal Compliance
Prior to finalizing the purchase, we conduct a due diligence to ensure all legal and regulatory requirements are met. This may include verifying the aircraft's registration status, confirming compliance with airworthiness regulations, obtaining necessary permits or licenses, and addressing any outstanding liens or legal issues related to the aircraft.
Closing and Delivery
Once all conditions of the purchase agreement are satisfied, the closing process occurs, during which the final paperwork is signed, funds are transferred, and ownership of the aircraft is transferred to you. The aircraft is then delivered to its new owner, either through a ferry flight or by arranging for transportation to the buyer's desired location.
Post-Acquisition Services
After acquiring the aircraft, owners may require additional services such as aircraft management, maintenance, insurance, and operational support. These services ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the aircraft throughout its lifecycle.
