    How to choose an aircraft for rent?

    Choosing an aircraft to rent is an important step that will determine the comfort of your trip. Here are key factors to consider:

    image

    Purpose of the trip:

    • Business travel: a small but comfortable airplane such as the Cessna Citation CJ3+ or Embraer Phenom 300E is suitable for business meetings.
    • Vacation: if you are traveling with a large group, choose a more spacious model such as the Bombardier Challenger 605 or Gulfstream G550.
    • Transcontinental flight: long flights require an aircraft with a long range, such as a Bombardier Global 6000 or Gulfstream G650ER.

    Number of passengers:

    • Decide on the exact number of passengers to choose an airplane with enough seats and comfort level for everyone. For better comfort, calculate quantity of passengers based on a number of separate seats, disregarding divans.

    Distance and route:

    • Consider the range of the chosen model and the possibility of landing at the destination airport. Consider the specifics of the route: mountainous or maritime terrain may require airplanes with specific technical characteristics. We can help you with this!.

    Budget:

    • Determine your budget and compare the cost of renting different models.
    • Consider additional costs: airport services, meals on board, on-board internet. We’ll advise you when you can save up some money and when you better not cut corners.

    Additional Requirements:

    • Availability of bedroom, hot catering, shower, internet, entertainment system.
    • Need to transport luggage, sports equipment, pets. Smoking.

    We do 8 steps for aircraft acquisition

    Determine aircraft requirements

    Determine your budget and travel needs: Where do you want to fly? How often? How many passengers will you carry? What level of comfort do you prefer?

    Send request to us

    Contact our manager, who will help you understand the technical characteristics of the aircraft and choose the most suitable model.

    Select an aircraft model

    Based on your requirements, we will select several aircraft models that are optimally suited in terms of technical characteristics, capacity, flight range and other parameters. We will also help you compare the selected models and make an informed choice. We recommend choosing an aircraft that is 80% of your ideal.

    Visual inspection of the aircraft

    Choose one or two aircrafts from the available options. We will arrange for a visual inspection where you can personally inspect the aircraft, assess the condition of its interior and exterior and determine the most suitable option for purchase.

    LOI and contract

    You will need to sign a Letter of Intent to purchase the aircraft (LOI), pay a deposit and sign an Aircraft Purchase Agreement drafted by our experienced lawyers.

    Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI)

    We will arrange an independent technical inspection of the aircraft at a certified center to ensure that it is safe and in good working order. You will receive a detailed report on the technical condition of the aircraft to be sure of its reliability. As a result, you will receive a fully operational airworthy aircraft.

    Deal closing

    At this stage, the aircraft is flown to the closing location and the aircraft is paid for in any way you like. The transaction is conducted through an escrow agent, which guarantees the safety and transparency of the transaction. Your funds will be sent to the seller only after receiving all necessary documents for the aircraft.

    Getting an aircraft

    We will organize a delivery ceremony to put the aircraft at your service. And we will ensure that your new aircraft gets off to a comfortable start. If necessary, we recommend the operator, insurance company and trusted maintenance center.

    Frequently Asked Questions?

    How does a deal work: stages and timeline from deposit to handover?

    The standard path takes 6–10 weeks. Step 1: a letter of intent (LOI) with price and terms — 3–5 days. Step 2: a 5–10% deposit into escrow and signing of the purchase agreement. Step 3: a pre-purchase inspection — 1–3 weeks. Step 4: rectification of findings and price adjustment. Step 5: closing — simultaneous transfer of funds, title and risk, technical acceptance and ferry of the aircraft.

    What is a pre-purchase inspection and who pays for it?

    A pre-purchase inspection (PPI) is an independent check at a certified centre: airframe, engines, corrosion, records and compliance with airworthiness directives. It takes from 3 days on a turboprop to 2–3 weeks on a heavy jet and costs $15–100K — paid by the buyer. By market practice the seller pays to rectify airworthiness-affecting defects. A seller refusing a PPI is grounds to walk away.

    What taxes and duties apply when importing and registering an aircraft?

    The import budget depends on jurisdiction. In the EU the main items are any customs duty (most business-jet codes carry reduced or zero rates) and import VAT, which varies by country of entry (for example 19–22% in much of Europe). Registration in Aruba, San Marino or the Isle of Man under operation outside the EU allows a temporary-admission regime. We produce an exact calculation before the LOI is signed — an error here costs millions.

    What should you do after buying an aircraft?

    After purchase the aircraft must be entered into service: choose a registry (Aruba, San Marino, Isle of Man or a national one), sign a management and maintenance contract with an operator, enrol the engines on a programme (ESP/JSSI), arrange insurance, hangar and crew, and plan the first maintenance. We support all of these steps. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

    How do you verify an aircraft's legal status and history before buying?

    Before a deal we check: title and absence of liens or leases (a registry title search), the full maintenance history and airworthiness-directive records, the status of heavy maintenance checks and engine time remaining, any incident involvement, and compliance with export rules. We organise this review and an independent pre-purchase inspection before any funds move. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

    How far in advance should a flight be booked?

    The standard is 24–48 hours before departure: that is enough to confirm the aircraft, crew and slots. For regular clients we arrange a domestic flight from 4–6 hours. International routes need 48–72 hours: overflight permits for some countries take 3–5 working days. On peak dates — Christmas, summer holidays, major forums — aircraft are booked out 2–3 weeks ahead, so plan early.

    What are empty legs and how much can you save on them?

    An empty leg is the ferry of an empty aircraft to its next job or home to base. Such segments sell at a 30–75% discount to the usual price: a flight that would cost $25K can come to $8–12K. The limits: the date and route are fixed to the aircraft's schedule, and if the main booking is cancelled the flight may shift. We publish current empty legs weekly — watch the listings.

    What are the rules on baggage, pets and flying with children?

    Baggage is limited only by hold volume: a light jet takes 5–8 suitcases, while midsize and above fit skis, gun cases and golf bags — clear oversized cargo in advance. Pets travel in the cabin in a carrier or crate; a pet passport, microchip and documents for the destination country are required. Children fly from birth to 2 years with no surcharge.

    Can you carry alcohol, smoke and hold events in the cabin?

    Alcohol is allowed in the cabin and is included in catering on request. Smoking follows the rules of the specific aircraft and operator (not permitted on most VIP cabins, with some exceptions). Business meetings, presentations and celebrations in the cabin are possible on midsize aircraft and above. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

    What happens if a flight is delayed or cancelled due to weather?

    In non-flying weather or an airport closure the operator offers a rescheduled departure, a change of alternate airfield or a substitute aircraft — safety always takes priority and the captain decides. If the operator cancels through its own fault, the fee is refunded. We stay in contact with the operator and quickly rebuild the flight. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.
