Text Box: How much do you know about buying a business aircraft?

 

 

 

Buying a business aircraft isn’t like buying a car, or even a house.  The investment you’re making is huge, the asset you’re gaining is incredibly complicated and the process may seem obscure.  That’s why you need someone on your side.  Someone who represents your interests – not the aircraft broker’s.  At American Flight group, we’ve spent 19 years analyzing the unique needs of owners, finding the perfect aircraft for them, and ensuring they get the most aircraft for their money.  Here’s how it works.

  1. You contact us and we work with you to determine your needs – for example:
  • How often do you need to fly by business jet?
  • How far do you need to go?
  • How many passengers do you need to carry regularly?
  • What are your budget constraints for acquisition and operation?
  1. We analyze your needs and present you with detailed information on suggested aircraft, including acquisition cost estimates and comprehensive budgets for fixed and direct operating costs.  We even provide estimates of charter revenue and predicted offsets to your costs.  At the same time, we work through our nationwide network of aircraft brokers, and find aircraft for sale that match your requirements.  We talk directly to the brokers and determine the lowest acquisition cost and provide that information to you – directly. 
  1. When you decide to buy, we examine the candidate aircraft, narrow the field to the best possible choices, and minutely inspect each remaining aircraft and it’s associated maintenance records.  We know what questions to ask and we know how to evaluate the answers.  Then, and only then, do we make a final recommendation to you.  We will guide you through the offer and counteroffer process and ensure you pay a fair price for your aircraft. 
  1. When the aircraft sale is closed, we can manage the aircraft for you or assist you in establishing your own flight department.

From the start of the process until its completion, our only goal is to ensure that your aircraft buying experience is a pleasant one - without any costly surprises.

PRE-OWNED BUSINESS-JETS ARE AT THEIR LOWEST PRICES IN TEN YEARS! Due to the slowing economy, the market is at rock-bottom.  But it won’t stay there long – especially with the effect on commercial air travel due to the savage attacks of September 11, 2001.  You could buy a business jet today, enjoy it for 4-5 years, and then sell it – at a profit!

Call or email us today with your questions.  In nearly all cases we can FEDEX acquisition cost and budget estimates to you within 24 hours.  We can also usually email you a preliminary estimate in Microsoft Excel format the same day. 

Don’t buy a business-jet without talking to us first!
