FAQs
What Does Aircraft Sales & Acquisition Involve?
Aircraft sales and acquisition involved two specialised processes that require more than identifying an aircraft and agreeing on a price. It involves market analysis, aircraft sourcing, valuation, technical due diligence, negotiations, legal coordination, inspections, and transaction management from the initial enquiry through to delivery.
RightJet provides a comprehensive aircraft sales and acquisition service for private clients and businesses seeking to buy or sell a private aircraft. Our team identifies suitable on-market and off-market opportunities, evaluates aircraft against the client’s requirements, coordinates technical assessments, manages negotiations, and supports the transaction through completion.
The objective is straightforward: to help clients make informed aircraft decisions while managing the complexities of the transaction with discretion, transparency, and professional oversight.
Buying an Aircraft: What to Expect
The aircraft acquisition process begins with an initial consultation to understand the client’s mission requirements, preferred aircraft type, budget, range requirements, passenger capacity, intended hours, and preference for a new or preowned aircraft. RightJet then identifies suitable aircraft from its market network, including opportunities that may not be publicly listed.
Shortlisted aircraft are presented with detailed analysis to support comparison and decision-making. RightJet can arrange aircraft viewings, technical evaluations, and negotiations before coordinating the pre-purchase inspection.
Once an aircraft has been selected, RightJet manages the commercial and administrative stages of the transaction, including legal documentation, escrow coordination, technical findings, delivery arrangements, registration, and entry into service.
Selling an Aircraft: What to Expect
For sellers, RightJet begins with a consultation and aircraft evaluation, followed by a market valuation and pricing strategy tailored to current demand. RightJet then prepares marketing materials, lists the aircraft globally, and promotes it through its global buyer network. As interest develops, RightJet qualifies buyers, manages offers, coordinates viewings and inspections, and leads negotiations through to closing, delivery, and ownership transfer, with RightJet's team managing each step to keep the process efficient and discreet.
New vs Pre-Owned Aircraft
The choice between a new and pre-owned aircraft depends on the buyer’s budget, aircraft type, mission requirements, availability, preferred specifications, and long-term ownership objectives. RightJet evaluates these considerations to help clients identify the aircraft solution that best fits their requirements.
Key Differences in Cost, Availability & Depreciation
New aircraft generally provide the latest technology, cabin configurations, manufacturer support, and the ability to customize certain features before delivery. RightJet maintains close relationships with major OEMs including Bombardier, Gulfstream, and Dassault Aviation. These partnerships allow us to negotiate below list prices on our clients' behalf, historically saving them millions. Though it is worth noting, they typically require a higher initial investment compared to a pre-owned aircraft and may involve longer lead times.
Pre-owned aircraft can provide access to established aircraft models at a potentially lower acquisition cost and with immediate or shorter-term availability. However, age, maintenance history, aircraft condition, engine and component status, configuration, and market demand can significantly influence their value and future operating costs.
Depreciation is also an important consideration. Aircraft values can change according to age, utilisation, maintenance status, specifications, market demand, and broader aviation conditions.
What to Check When Buying Pre-Owned
Pre-owned acquisitions require close scrutiny of maintenance records, airframe and engine hours, damage history, compliant avionics, and compliance with applicable airworthiness directives, all of which are assessed as part of RightJet's pre-purchase inspection process before a client commits to a purchase.
How Aircraft Are Valued & Priced
Aircraft valuation considers significantly more than the aircraft’s age and original purchase price. RightJet assesses market conditions and aircraft-specific characteristics to establish a realistic market position for buyers and sellers.
Factors That Affect Aircraft Market Value
Key valuation factors include aircraft type and model, age, total flight hours, maintenance history, engine and component status, avionics, cabin configuration, aircraft condition, location, ownership history, market demand, and comparable aircraft currently available.
For sellers, accurate valuation helps establish a competitive pricing strategy. For buyers, valuation analysis helps determine whether an aircraft represents appropriate market value and supports informed negotiations.
Financing & Ownership Structuring
Financing Options for Private Aircraft
Private aircraft may be acquired through different financing arrangements depending on the buyer’s financial position, aircraft type, jurisdiction, and lender requirements. Options can include traditional aircraft financing and other structured financing arrangements.
RightJet can coordinate with the clients financial, legal, and tax professionals to help clients evaluate the implications of different acquisition approaches.
Ownership Structures (Direct Ownership, Fractional, Trusts)
Ownership can be structured in several ways, including direct ownership, UAE LLCs, offshore entities, and other internationally recognised ownership vehicles.
For UAE-based buyers, RightJet works alongside the clients legal and tax advisors to help identify an appropriate ownership structure based on the client’s operational and commercial objectives. Final structuring decisions remain subject to applicable legal, tax, regulatory, and aviation advice.
Following acquisition, RightJet can continue supporting owners with registration, insurance, crew recruitment, operational setup, hangar arrangements, and maintenance planning, through our aircraft management program. This provides continuity from aircraft acquisition through to operational oversight. RightJet’s broader aircraft management service covers complete oversight of the client's newly purchased aircraft including staffing, maintenance scheduling, flight operations, and cost and operational optimisation..
