Before you buy
Questions worth asking early.
Do you work with first-time aircraft buyers?
Yes. The starting point is how you intend to use the aircraft, what ownership involves and which specialists will need to be involved. Philip can help establish a clear brief before a search begins.
Can you search beyond publicly listed aircraft?
PM Aviation can make discreet approaches through its industry contacts. Availability and access depend on the aircraft, the owner’s instructions and the agreed mandate.
What does buyer representation include?
The scope is agreed at the outset. It can cover market search, evaluation, negotiation and transaction coordination, with technical, operational and entry-into-service oversight as required.
