AIRCRAFT SALES
Sell your aircraft with an operator on your side
At Capital Jets, we approach every sale as aircraft operators, not just brokers. Because we charter, manage, crew, and maintain aircraft every day, we know what serious buyers check before making an offer. We prepare every aircraft from their perspective, reducing delays, strengthening buyer confidence, and helping protect the aircraft's value through closing. The goal is simple: the highest realistic price, less time on the market, and a closing without surprises.

About aircraft acquisition
WHY CAPITAL JETS
Benefits of selling through Capital Jets
-
Operator, not just a broker
We prepare an aircraft for sale the way we would evaluate one to buy, because we operate aircraft rather than simply trade them.
-
A network that reaches motivated buyers
Our relationships across the business aviation market expose a listing to qualified, motivated buyers rather than leaving it to compete on public marketplaces alone, shortening time on market and strengthening your negotiating position.
-
Records that protect your value
We assemble and present the maintenance record, anticipate what a pre-purchase inspection will find, and resolve or explain discrepancies before they become negotiating leverage for the buyer.
-
Transparency that closes deals
A sale built on clear information closes faster than one a buyer feels they have to investigate. An aircraft represented accurately from the outset is far less likely to lose value late in due diligence, when renegotiation is most expensive.
-
One point of accountability
Pricing, marketing, buyer qualification, the pre-purchase inspection, escrow, title, and closing are managed as a single coordinated process, not handed between departments.
-
Honest guidance
You receive straightforward advice on pricing and the realistic outcome to expect, not an optimistic number designed to win the listing.
AN ALTERNATIVE TO A RUSHED SALE
Keep earning while your aircraft is listed
If the market is soft, or the right buyer has not appeared yet, an aircraft that earns while it waits can outperform a discounted sale. Qualifying aircraft placed on our Part 135 certificate can fly charter until the sale closes.
- Charter under our floating fleet model: the next trip starts where the aircraft is, not back at a home base
- Revenue beyond flight hours, including cancellation fees, standby charges and non-flight-day fees
- For qualifying aircraft, a guaranteed utilization program: agreed hours paid whether or not they are flown
THE CAPITAL JETS COST ADVANTAGE
What it costs to own until you sell
If we manage your aircraft while it's listed, our structure leaves more of its value with you.
- No management fees
- No hangar fees
- No markup on third-party maintenance
- Competitive fuel pricing with no owner markup
