Making Aircraft Transactions Easier Around the Globe

Private aviation saw a 2021 that was unlike any year before. The challenges of navigating a pandemic-restricted world was contrasted by an unprecedented demand for aircraft. The only limit on aircraft transactions in 2021 was the availability of inventory. That was true throughout the world, not just in a particular country or region such as South Asia.

If an aircraft was being listed, it probably already had an offer on it. This trend has continued into 2022. It’s absolutely a seller’s market, so owners can expect to receive maximum value for an asset which they may want to upgrade. Similarly, buyers are in a better position if they have experienced brokers with large networks of global connections looking out for them.

Private aviation continues to be one of the best ways for business leaders, VIPs and government officials to overcome pandemic-related constraints. The last two years have shown how valuable it is to be in charge of one’s own travel and movement. It has driven economic opportunities, many in the region wouldn’t have had, with commercial travel limiting or even canceling routes. The commercial pilot shortage, which was already severe, became that much more acute during the pandemic, which private travel alleviates.

FINDING THE OPPORTUNITIES

The world of private aviation is more than just one country or region. It’s truly an international marketplace where the best aircraft or deal can only be found past a national border. Better options for both buyers and sellers await, but only if they have assistance navigating global aircraft acquisitions.

BRINGING A LEVEL OF TRUST AND ACUMEN IN AIRCRAFT TRANSACTIONS IS WHAT SEPARATES JETHQ FROM OTHER BROKERS

JetHQ’s aviation professionals are able to source aircraft from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the US to assist buyers in India or South Asia. We put our full resources of worldwide connections to work for clients. Whether that’s through international research departments within North America or Europe who track every possible aircraft which may be available for sale, or locally based sales members who understand local languages, cultures and markets to locate the right plane for the client.

India and South Asia have many opportunities for transformative aviation. There is a wealth of business and governmental needs for aircraft and the old perceptions don’t match the reality on the ground. Some brokerage firms have ignored the area because of perceived difficulties in completing transactions. We have worked with local partners to find solutions for clients’ aviation needs. It has a robust future with more opportunities appearing all the time.
