Purchasing a Jet for Sale—How to Maximize the Perks of Jet Ownership

As a businessperson, you know very well that travel is an important aspect of growing and sustaining your business – that’s why you need to invest on it. One way you can do so is by purchasing the mode of transportation appropriate for your business.

Once you have your own plane, you can skip the tensions and frustrations that come with commercial air travel. You no longer have to contend with cranky flight attendants, bad airline food, crowded airport lobbies, and lengthy queues and baggage checks. Of course, you’ll still have a set of regulations to follow, but they’ll be less burdensome than the alternative, because you get to travel on your own terms.

However, buying an aircraft for sale is only half the story. After all, what good is having an aircraft if you can’t get to your destination on time and proceed with your itinerary in a comfortable and hassle-free manner? For that, you’ll need to plan your business trip accordingly.

Business Aviation—Why You Need to Work with a Reliable Aircraft Broker

Generally speaking, an aircraft broker is a salesperson who has well established connections with multiple aircraft owners and operators. He serves many functions, and among the most important is to find the buyer the right seller and introduce them to one another. With a broker’s help, the buyer can end up with the right plane at the best price possible.

There are many advantages to using an aircraft broker. However, before you work with one, you need to ensure that he is knowledgeable in his field and has plenty of experience in the aviation industry. Tales abound of so-called brokers who didn’t have the slightest idea what they were supposed to do and ended up mismanaging transactions left and right.

Checking Out Planes for Sale? Here are Tips for Buying a Private Jet

First on the list, seating. You’ll need to consider how many people you’re looking to accommodate on a routine flight. For example, if you’re planning to seat at least 8 people during aerial tours of your home city, you may wish to consider a model that seats more than this number; say, a 12- or 16-seater, but don’t go far beyond. That way, your passengers will have enough room to move around freely, and you’ll have extra space in case you’ll need to seat more.

Seating arrangements are also vital. If you’re planning to use the plane for business, consider a plane with a club seating arrangement, allowing for more convenient business talks in-flight. Both new and used planes for sale often feature flexible seating arrangements, which even include recliners, to make the ride more comfortable especially for long journeys.

Buying or Leasing Private Jets—Which Option is Right For Your Company?

On the topic of balance sheets, you should know that aircraft leasing has the potential to remove a long-term debt from your balance sheet. Under many lease agreements, lease payments qualify not as a debt, but as an expense. So if you’re looking to clean up your balance sheets, aircraft leasing will be the better option than buying.

If you’re still on the fence about whether to buy or lease an aircraft, it’s in your best interest to talk to an aviation company that offers private jets for sale and lease, like Holstein Aviation. It doesn’t matter which option you decide on, these companies can help you either way.
