The marketplace, broker to broker.

Buying or selling a private jet, with confidence

Our private jet marketplace connects buyers and sellers through a qualified network — no online payment, no auction: every transaction goes through an advisor. Our listings are verified — maintenance history, pedigree and traceability checked before publication — and we also source off-market aircraft. To buy a private jet, we define the mission, shortlist aircraft and support the pre-buy inspection through to signature.

Buying a private jet: the steps

Buying a private jet follows a precise process, and each step protects the buyer. We first define the mission — typical distances, passenger count, home airfields — to target the right aircraft category. Then comes shortlisting on and off the market, a letter of intent, a full pre-buy inspection by an independent shop, negotiation, and finally closing with escrow, registration transfer and export-compliance checks if the aircraft changes country. Our role is to source, verify and support — never to push one aircraft over another. See our buy a private jet page for the real cost of ownership.

Selling a private jet: value it and close

To sell a private jet, it starts with a realistic valuation based on age, airframe and engine hours, the maintenance programme and the market for that model. We prepare the file — history, pedigree, technical records — add it to our selection of verified listings, qualify buyers and bring you only serious enquiries. The sale then runs through the buyer’s pre-buy inspection, final negotiation and a secured closing. Our sell page details every step through to the transfer of ownership.

Own, charter or share: the right call

Owning an aircraft is only rational beyond a high volume of hours — often several hundred a year — because a jet ties up capital, depreciates and carries fixed costs even on the ground. Below that, on-demand charter bills only the flights actually flown, the jet card locks an hourly rate with guaranteed availability, and fractional ownership gives access to an aircraft without carrying all the costs alone. An aircraft management company can also offset part of the charges by placing your jet on charter when you are not using it. We compare these costed scenarios before any purchase, because the right choice depends on your real flying rhythm, not prestige.

What “verified listings” means

On a private jet marketplace, the quality of the listing matters as much as the price. Before an aircraft appears in our selection, we check the maintenance history, the pedigree and the traceability — continuous records, engine and maintenance programme status, ownership chain and any damage history. A clean, documented file is what protects the buyer and supports the seller’s price. We do not publish aircraft we cannot stand behind, and we never repeat unverified figures or registration numbers. This is the difference between a curated marketplace and an open classifieds board where the buyer carries all the risk.

Aircraft for sale, by category

The jets for sale on the market — from executive jets to private planes and airplanes for sale — span every category, from very light and light jets for short hops to midsize and super-midsize for regional business links, heavy and ultra-long-range jets for intercontinental travel, and VIP airliners for the largest cabins. Whether you want to buy a private plane for occasional family travel or an executive jet for a corporate flight department, the search starts from the same question: which category fits the mission. Each category carries its own acquisition price, operating cost and resale liquidity — a sought-after midsize sells faster than a niche airliner. We help you place your need in the right category first, then shortlist specific models on and off the market, so the search starts from mission and budget rather than from a name.

Off-market sourcing and buyer mandates

Many of the best aircraft never appear in public listings. When you give us a buyer mandate — budget, range, cabin, base — we source across our network, including off-market aircraft whose owners will sell to the right enquiry without a public campaign. This widens the choice and often improves the price, while keeping the process discreet. From the first shortlist to the pre-buy inspection and the secured closing, a single advisor follows your file, so buying or selling a private jet stays a guided process rather than a gamble.

How a transaction is secured

Every sale on our private jet marketplace runs through an advisor — there is no online payment and no auction. Once a price is agreed, the buyer issues a letter of intent, a full pre-buy inspection by an independent shop confirms the aircraft’s condition, and the closing is handled with funds held in escrow until registration transfer and export-compliance checks are complete. This structure protects both sides: the buyer pays only for an aircraft whose state has been verified, and the seller deals with a qualified, committed purchaser. Whether you want to buy a private jet or sell one, the process is the same disciplined sequence, with the figures and the records on the table at every step, and a single advisor accountable from the first enquiry to the final transfer of ownership.
