Aircraft Acquisition
(Acquisition)
The right aircraft is rarely the one on the open market. We find it, evaluate it, and secure it on your terms.
From mandate to closing, we source the right aircraft — quietly, and on your terms.
Acquisition is where preparation meets access. We translate your mission into a precise brief, surface off-market opportunities through two decades of relationships, and guide you through inspection, negotiation and closing — so you buy the right aircraft at the right price, without surprises.
Exclusive Aircraft Marketing & Acquisition Agreements
Experience shows there are good reasons for granting an exclusive sale or acquisition mandate as a client's best choice. Several brokers — whether entitled or working on their own — selling your aircraft and likely approaching the same buyer on a non-exclusive basis create the impression that there are more sellers than there really are.
Likewise, if several brokers are seeking an aircraft on your behalf, the seller of the right aircraft will be led to believe that demand is greater than it actually is, pushing up the price you pay as a consequence.
Trading Up or Down for Your Next Aircraft
When travel requirements change, you may need to move to another aircraft. That switch can be made very easy, as and when it happens, through experience, communication and a comprehensive network of contacts. The elements of the sale and acquisition process described above are our keys to making this work exactly as you need it to. That is the service we provide as your broker.
The Acquisition Process

genuine off-market access,

When Acquiring, We Will
We have access to more than the open market —
and we put it to work for you.
Access beyond the open market
We at AVIONMAR have access to more than just publicly advertised aircraft. Through years of building our network, we have developed extensive contacts to brokers with clients who do not advertise their aircraft on the open market, as well as to management and maintenance companies and manufacturers. These off-market aircraft are often less exposed to the pressures of pricing-by-demand and can represent outstanding value for money. Through our experience and contacts we can also help you get the best price when acquiring a new aircraft from a manufacturer as a first-time buyer.

Why AVIONMAR
One focus, fully aligned with your interests.
Add Us to Your Team
Many pilots say the distraction of trying to be a salesperson seriously conflicts with their core priorities — complying with the technical and regulatory updates they must focus on, and providing for your safe travels. Most don't feel adept at fielding dozens of phone calls for pricing and specifications, nor qualifying buyers, sellers, brokers and offers. With voicemails and emails stacking up daily, it is easy to delay or miss contacting the right buyer.

With our tools, experience and network, we stay in touch with prospective buyers and provide guidance on pricing and availability. We take the distraction and workload off your desk, letting everyone focus on their core priorities.
