Aircraft Acquisitions
Acquire The Right Aircraft.
Advised Independently.
Acquiring an aircraft is a decision built on trust. As an independent aircraft acquisition consultant, PJC Aviation Group holds no aircraft of its own, so every recommendation is shaped solely around your operational requirements, budget, and long-term goals. Our reach extends across both publicly listed and confidential off-market aircraft worldwide.
Why PJC Aviation Group
We Search The Market. You Own The Decision.
Successful aircraft acquisition services begin with understanding how you intend to operate the aircraft. We evaluate your mission profile, budget, operational requirements, and future objectives before identifying suitable opportunities. By combining worldwide aircraft sourcing with our Aviation Consultancy expertise, we help you make informed purchasing decisions with confidence and complete confidentiality.
Off-Market Access
Access Before It's Listed
Many suitable aircraft change hands before they ever reach a public listing. Owners often prefer to sell quietly, without market speculation or unwanted exposure. Through our global network of owners, operators, and industry contacts, our aircraft acquisition specialists surface these opportunities early, giving you first access rather than competing in an open market once an aircraft becomes public knowledge and pricing expectations shift in the seller’s favour.

Frequently Asked Questions
An aircraft acquisition service represents the buyer throughout the purchase process, from defining requirements and sourcing suitable aircraft to due diligence, negotiation, and delivery. The adviser works independently of any seller, keeping advice unbiased.
Timelines vary depending on aircraft type, availability, and complexity, but most acquisitions take several months from initial brief to delivery. Off-market transactions can sometimes move faster, as there is no public listing process to navigate.
Listed aircraft are publicly advertised for sale, often creating a competitive, time-pressured process. Off-market aircraft are sold privately through direct relationships, allowing more discretion and often more favourable negotiating conditions for the buyer.
Working with an acquisition specialist gives buyers access to a wider market, including aircraft not publicly listed, alongside independent valuation, technical due diligence, and negotiation support that reduces the risk of costly oversights.
Due diligence typically includes technical inspection, maintenance and logbook review, title and lien verification, airworthiness confirmation, and valuation benchmarking against comparable aircraft, giving the buyer a complete picture before committing.
