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

What is the Piaggio Avanti known for and why the unusual layout?

Italy's P.180 Avanti Evo is the fastest production turboprop in the world: 745 km/h, the speed of a jet. The secret is a three-lifting-surface aerodynamic layout and rear pusher propellers: the wing is not blanked by the airflow, and the cabin ends up 1.75 m high — you can stand. Up to nine passengers, ~3,180 km range. Noise and fuel burn are a third lower than a jet's. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How much does the Avanti Evo cost and what does an hour cost?

Used 2005–2015 Avanti IIs sell for $2–3.5M, late Evos $5–6.5M. Direct costs are around $1,200–1,500 per flight hour: two PT6As burn ~340 L/hour versus 600+ for a comparable jet. On a Geneva–Nice or London–Milan route the Avanti delivers passengers almost as fast as a light jet, while spending markedly less. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How does the Avanti differ from the King Air 360?

Both are twin turboprops, but with opposite characters. The Avanti Evo is 150 km/h faster (745 versus 578 km/h) and offers the tallest cabin in class. The King Air wins on versatility: short and unpaved-strip operation, a huge fleet and ubiquitous service, whereas Piaggio's support network is compact and concentrated in Europe. For aesthetes and speed — the Avanti; for pragmatists — the King Air. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Which country is Piaggio from, how old is the marque and how many built?

Piaggio Aerospace is an Italian company from Genoa with an aviation history from the early 20th century; the current P.180 Avanti has been built since 1990. About 250 have been built — the fastest production turboprops in the world, with the speed of a jet. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What routes and tasks suit turboprops?

Turboprops are the optimum for flights up to 1,500–2,000 km: London–Geneva, Paris–Milan, Vienna–Munich. Their element is short and unpaved strips: a Pilatus PC-12 lands in 600 m, so thousands of airfields are reachable that a jet physically cannot use. An hour costs one and a half to two times less than a jet, and on legs up to 1,000 km the time penalty is only 15–25 minutes. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What range and how many passengers do turboprops have?

Single-engine aircraft take 4–9 passengers: the TBM 960 seats six over 3,200 km, the Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to nine over 3,400 km. The twin-engine King Air 360ER carries eight almost 5,000 km. Class cruise speed is 500–610 km/h. A rule of thumb: a full cabin cuts maximum range by 20–30%. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How does a turboprop differ from neighbouring classes?

A jet is faster — 750–850 km/h versus 500–610 — and flies higher, above turbulence. The turboprop answers with economics: 220–350 L/hour versus 500–700, a charter hour from $1,800 versus $3,000+, plus access to short unpaved strips. On legs up to 1,000 km the time difference is under half an hour, so short hops make sense by turboprop and long ones by jet. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Which turboprops are in the fleet and how do they differ?

The fleet has 13 models: the fast Daher TBM 960 and Piper M700 Fury (556–611 km/h, 5–6 seats), the roomy Pilatus PC-12 NG/NGX/PRO with a cargo door and nine seats, the twin King Air 260 and 360ER for long legs up to 5,000 km, the business Piaggio Avanti Evo with jet speed and a stand-up cabin, and the affordable Piper M350/M500/M600SLS. 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.
