How to choose an aircraft to buy?

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

Purpose of aircraft:

Short business trips: a small but comfortable aircraft such as the Cessna Citation CJ3+ or Embraer Phenom 300E is suitable for business meetings.
Family/friends vacations: if you are traveling with a large group of people on a medium distance, choose more spacious models, such as Bombardier Challenger 605 or Gulfstream G450.
Transcontinental flights: for long flights, you need an aircraft with long range and sleeping places, such as the Bombardier Global 6000 or Gulfstream G650ER.

Number of passengers:

Determine medium number of passengers that are flying most of the time, to select an aircraft with enough seats and comfort level for everyone.

Distance and route:

Consider the range of 80% of your most popular flights for the chosen model and the possibility of landing at the destination airport. Consider the specifics of your route: mountainous or maritime terrain may require Aircrafts with specific specifications. We can help you with this!

Budget:

Determine your budget and compare the cost of buying different models. We’ll tell you when you could cut corners and when you shouldn’t do that.
The cost of the aircraft should not exceed 5% of your capital. Otherwise, you could attract financing.

Additional Requirements:

Availability of full size bedroom, kitchen, sleeping places, shower room, internet and entertainment system.

How an Aircraft Purchase Works: Request, Contract, Payment

Send us a request

Sign a contract

Sign Aircraft purchase agreement. This ensures that Aircraft purchase terms and conditions are protected and understood by both parties.

Make payment

Make payment for your chosen aircraftin any convenient way. We offer more than 50 different means of payment.

Eight Stages of a Business Jet Purchase

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.

Have questions?

Leave your contact information and we will contact you within 5 minutes and tell you everything in more detail.

Frequently asked questions

Agusta AW119Kx: what kind of aircraft is it and what to consider when buying?

The AW119Kx is Leonardo's single-engine helicopter with a twin-class cabin: up to seven passengers, a range of about 950 km — best in the single segment — a Pratt & Whitney PT6B-37A engine and Garmin G1000H avionics. Built since 2014; the fleet works from US air ambulance to Middle East VIP transport. A simple formula: maximum cabin and range for the money of a single. There is no flight attendant or hot meal service. There is no in-flight baggage access — bags are loaded on the ground. On short hops it typically flies routes such as London–Oxford · Paris–Deauville · Cannes–Monaco. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How much does the Agusta AW119Kx cost: purchase and running costs?

Guide figures for the Agusta AW119Kx: average pre-owned price — $2M; new — $3.6M. Running costs at 300–400 h/year — about $584K/year, or $1,460 per flight hour. The final figure depends on year, hours flown, engine-programme status and configuration. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What is Leonardo known for and which helicopters does it build?

Italy's Leonardo (formerly AgustaWestland) sets the pace in the VIP helicopter segment. The range: the light AW109 GrandNew and AW119Kx, the new single-engine AW09, the medium AW169 and best-selling AW139, and the heavy AW189. The AW139 became the standard for corporate and government transport — over 1,200 built. Cabins are finished by Italian ateliers, including Agusta by Hermès versions. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Which Leonardo to choose: AW109, AW139 or AW169?

The AW109 GrandNew is a fast (289 km/h) seven-seat helicopter for city transfers and flights up to 700 km. The AW169 is the sweet spot: 8–10 seats, 820 km, cabin space without stepping into the heavy class. The AW139 is the flagship: up to 15 seats, 1,060 km range, two pilots, maximum VIP comfort; it is the choice of government flights in more than 40 countries. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How reliable are Leonardo helicopters and what about service?

The AW139 is certified to the strict FAR-29 standard with a 30-minute run-dry transmission — the fleet has logged over 4 million hours, including offshore and search-and-rescue missions. PT6C engines are serviced worldwide. Authorised Leonardo centres operate in Italy, the UAE, Turkey and Azerbaijan, making scheduled maintenance accessible to Central Asian operators. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How well does Leonardo hold value on the pre-owned market?

A VIP-configured AW139 is a scarce item: the queue for new machines stretches to 2–3 years, so fresh helicopters sell for 85–95% of list ($14–16M). Ten-year-old AW139s hold $8–10M. The AW109 is liquid in Europe and the Middle East ($3.5–6M depending on year). The AW189 market is weaker — a niche class with longer exposure. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How do you choose an aircraft to buy for your needs?

Start from two numbers: the length of your typical route and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 people — a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km — a midsize jet; nonstop intercontinental — a long-range jet. Then adjust for short runways, baggage volume and sleeping berths. We'll match a model to your profile and calculate the ownership economics. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

New aircraft or pre-owned — which is the better buy?

A new aircraft means a factory warranty and a 1–3-year queue, but the price is at its peak. A pre-owned aircraft means immediate delivery and a price 30–60% lower, while engine time and history matter. For most buyers a fresh 3–7-year-old aircraft is optimal: the main depreciation has happened and plenty of life remains. We cost both options. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.
