Heavy Jets for sale

The heavy jet market moves on specifics most brokers prefer to gloss over. A Gulfstream G550 with mid-life CMP and ESP Gold transferable coverage commands a different conversation than the same airframe with a Section 5 due in eighteen months and engines on hourly reserves only. We underwrite each listing against recent comparable closings, current bluebook deltas, and the cost of bringing the aircraft current through a qualified MRO such as Jet Aviation Basel, StandardAero Augusta, or Duncan Lincoln. Buyers see the pre-buy punch list before they see the asking price.

Most heavy jet transactions fail on logistics rather than valuation. An aircraft hangared at Le Bourget with an expired French customs carnet and a Part 135 operator still listed on the registration cannot simply reposition to Teterboro for a pre-buy without three weeks of preparation. We coordinate the positioning leg, the export Certificate of Airworthiness, the N-registration transition if required, and the FAA Aircraft Registry filings. Escrow sits at AIC Title or Insured Aircraft Title Service. Delivery is typically taken at KPAE, KGSO, or LFMN depending on import posture, and we structure the closing around the buyer's tax counsel rather than the seller's preferred timeline.

What separates a clean transaction from a ninety-day dispute is the quality of the records review before a letter of intent goes out. We read the logs, not the spec sheet. Engine trend monitoring data, APU cycles against the Honeywell CMP schedule, corrosion findings from the last C-check, damage history disclosed and undisclosed, and the full chain of ownership back to the delivery center. A Falcon 7X with a quiet logbook and two careful owners is worth a measurable premium over an identical tail with four operators and a gap in the maintenance narrative. The listings below reflect current inventory we have either directly represented or vetted through a principal relationship. Asking prices are current within the week. Positioning timelines, hangar availability at the buyer's preferred FBO, and crew transition support are addressed on the individual aircraft pages.
