An Aircraft Dealer Can Put Your Planes for Sale at a Good Price Point

The continuous rise in gas prices will likely make private plane owners think twice about using their planes. As an alternative, these owners may consider talking to a dealer to put their planes for sale at a good price point. The overall condition of the plane primarily serves as a basis for the price point.

As the first step to a smooth aircraft sale transaction, private plane owners should turn to reliable aircraft dealers with experience in selling used airplanes like the professionals in Holstein Aviation. These aircraft dealers will then hire a team of expert aviation technicians to do an asset evaluation. These professionals check cabin layout, avionic suite, engine type, support program, interior and exterior condition, damage history, domicile, mission types, previous owner(s), and paint and scheme color as these various aspects affect the resale value.

Buy a Plane: Investing in Quality Travel Time Can Bring In Profits

“Flying private” may seem to many as nothing more than a luxury that only the rich and the famous are privileged to experience. The reality is, traveling on a private plane offers more than just a luxury ride: it is also a great business decision that motivates the biggest corporations to buy themselves a plane. In an article for Business Insider, Alex Davies lists down the many advantages that flying on a private plane has over traveling first or business class on commercial airlines.

For one, private plane travelers will be spending less time in airports. Private planes can take off from smaller airports, where there are generally less traffic and passengers. Also, there will be no need for a luggage check-in, as well as luggage retrieval from a carousel; and a passenger doesn’t have to go through long security checks.
