Buying an aircraft
ensuring you receive the absolute best outcome
our 7 stage process
COLLECTING STAKEHOLDER INPUT IS THE MOST CRITICAL STAGE OF OUR PROCESS. EVERY DETAIL IS DEFINED. SO THAT EVERY NEED IS MET.
If you can't substantially benefit from using a business aircraft, we'll be the first to tell you.
We don’t spin our wheels. We straight shoot. That’s why we listen carefully to you and your team. And ask questions like: How will your desired jet be used? By whom? When? To go where? How often?
Then, when everything is accounted for, we listen some more. Until we know your desires and requirements. Preferences and pet peeves. Goals for seeking out a private jet or turboprop. The financial resources available, and whether to pursue jets that are preowned or ones that are new.
So that we don’t just find options. We find exactly what you’re looking for.
Stakeholder
input
Stage 1
The market has a range of jets for sale, but you don’t need a range. You need to know which options will deliver the highest value.
In your Mission Statement, we define optimal category, class, and type. Then we identify, compile, and analyze related aspects to provide you with a complete and comprehensive overview of our airframe and equipment recommendations.
While developing your Mission Statement, we put our team’s 300 years of combined experience in private jet sales to work for your benefit.
The knowledge gained from thousands of fulfilled transactions guides us as we research the global market and catalog the sales history of any sale jet under consideration. And when we detail the percentage of the used aircraft for sale fleet, how these aircraft hold their value, and what new products may affect the marketplace and affect your acquisition.
indentify your unique mission
Stage 2
THERE ARE MANY WAYS FORWARD, BUT ONLY ONE BEST WAY FOR YOU. WE DON’T JUST FIND YOU JETS FOR SALE. WE FIND AIRCRAFT THAT FIT YOUR MISSION.
providing a full analysis of costs throughout the aircraft ownership lifespan avoids costly mistakes.
Failure to paint the full picture can cause problems later on. Even self-professed aircraft experts will overlook the importance of undertaking a full analysis of costs throughout the ownership lifespan.
As our 300 years of combined experience has shown again and again, initial acquisition cost is just the starting point. And direct operating costs are only one piece of the picture.
When it comes to buying an aircraft, sales and use taxes, residual values, required equipment upgrades, engine overhauls, alterations, and refurbishment can affect the cost-value ratio of your aircraft purchase. We break down projected costs and present them in a multi-year format so you can see the full financial panorama, not just a snapshot.
CALCULATE TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Stage 3
- Where is this aircraft in its useful life expectancy?
- When was the last inspection? What were the findings?
- What major inspections are coming due? How much will they cost?
- What major expenditures, such as engine overhauls, interior refurbishment or exterior painting may be looming?
- What required maintenance is coming due?
- What are the conditions of major systems such as flight controls, avionics and engines?
- When are items due for overhaul or upgrade?
- Do any regulatory rulings or mandates affect this particular aircraft?
VET & VERIFY ASSETS
Stage 4
COST EFFICIENCY SHOULDN’T BE A GUESSING GAME. AT THIS STAGE, THE DETAILS ARE compounding, and our team rigorously vets each aircraft to ensure you have all the details
Surprises in business aircraft purchases are never good. Which is why we seek to eliminate those surprises.
NO DETAIL IS LEFT UNATTENDED. TO ENSURE THAT YOUR INVESTMENT IS SOUND, THOROUGH DOCUMENTATION AND VERIFICATION IS KEY.
A specific aircraft has been selected. Your purchase offer was made and accepted. The next critical step is to assure that everything is properly and accurately documented.
No detail is left unattended. Logbooks are researched. Registrations verified. Maintenance programs confirmed. And a complete and comprehensive pre-buy inspection conducted under our watchful and meticulous eye.
The result is that you are buying exactly what you think you are buying. Your investment is an appropriate amount. And, most importantly, you are buying peace of mind, not problems.
PERFORM DILIGENT DOCUMENTATION
Stage 5
while the transaction is the most anticipated stage of buying an aircraft, our assurance is that it will be the most uneventful.
The transaction is the anticlimactic part. Signing paperwork and transferring funds are routine and uneventful because everything has been properly prepared and is in order. Your Holstein Aviation team has done the headwork and legwork, guided you carefully through the process every step of the way, negotiated the purchase, and managed all the details. Now all that's left for you to do is to climb on board and go flying!
ENSURE A SEAMLESS TRANSACTION
Stage 6

We now begin an ongoing process that keeps you abreast of the business aircraft market, makes you aware of high-value jet sales, and helps you continuously plan for the future.

Your team of professionals at Holstein Aviation will never "pick up with you again where we left off" Because we never leave.
