What most owners worry about

The Jet Merchants

Advisor-Led. Broker-Executed.
Owner-Protected.

We are not your listing broker. We are not trying to inventory aircraft. We are not trying to steer you toward a management company.

We are your quarterback.

We vet and select the right specialist broker for your specific aircraft and stay involved through the transaction — from initial strategy through closing and beyond.

The Result

Aircraft transactions are too important to “hope” the representation is right.

Sell-Side

Sell a Jet

Selling an aircraft is about control — control of pricing strategy, market positioning, buyer qualification, narrative, timing, and process discipline. We match you with the right IADA-accredited broker for your aircraft category.

We Stay Engaged to Ensure

Your aircraft should not go stale because no one is managing the process.

Expanded Exposure Layer

Traditional aircraft marketing targets historical aircraft buyers. We extend exposure into:

Ownership intent often begins with charter frequency. We widen the funnel responsibly — without diluting positioning.

Acquisition

Buy a Jet

Buying an aircraft is not simply a market search. It is evaluating pedigree, maintenance history, operating economics, pre-buy risk, and long-term resale positioning.

Our Broker Selection Process

Optional Placement Strategy

If ownership includes charter placement, we evaluate operators independently — ensuring no referral-driven bias influences your decision.

When acquisition and placement advisory are combined, our advisory fee structure is further reduced.

While Your Aircraft Is For Sale

Stay Mobile. Stay Efficient. Stay Protected.

We believe sellers should not feel restricted while transitioning.

PRIVATE CLIENT Access

Fly at wholesale rates + fixed trip service fee during your listing period — maintaining cost efficiency and flexibility.

Continue flying while you transition without overpaying for charter.

Jet Card Advisory

If you are considering a temporary jet card solution, we provide a structured cost analysis to ensure you avoid overpriced or misaligned programs.

Make informed decisions on interim flight solutions.

A Reasonable, Transparent
Advisory Structure

Our advisory engagement is structured as a flat, clearly defined fee — designed to be reasonable relative to the size of the transaction and the value of alignment. When bundled with aircraft placement strategy, the fee is further reduced.

The objective is simple:

Protect the owner. Guide the process. Deliver a disciplined outcome.

Is This For You?

Who This Is For

Frequently asked questions


How exactly do you select the broker for my acquisition or sale?


We run a structured vetting process based on aircraft category and mission profile. Our evaluation includes:

We shortlist qualified candidates, review conflicts, confirm fee structure, and align expectations before introduction. The objective is not brand recognition — it is demonstrated category competence.


Aircraft markets move in cycles. A broker who has recently closed transactions in your aircraft type has:

They are not operating on outdated comps — they are operating in the present market.


Most aircraft brokers are compensated either:

Some acquisition arrangements may also involve retainer components depending on complexity.

Our advisory engagement is separate and flat — ensuring we are not influenced by transaction size or commission percentage.


In many cases, aircraft brokers or intermediaries receive referral economics from operators. While common in the industry, it can influence placement recommendations.

Our advisory structure is independent. When evaluating operators, we focus strictly on:

The goal is long-term ownership success — not referral alignment.


Acquisitions can range from 60–120 days depending on aircraft availability, inspection findings, and financing. Listings vary based on category, pricing discipline, and market depth.

Our role is to maintain weekly cadence, reduce drift, and ensure decisions are informed — not reactive.


No. Many experienced owners engage advisory oversight to protect alignment, reduce internal workload, and ensure clean execution — particularly when transitioning between aircraft or entering charter placement.
