when it’s time to go your own way….
Start With Your Mission
At the heart of every aircraft purchase is a simple but powerful question: What do you actually need it to do?
Before we recommend a single aircraft, we begin with you—your mission, your goals and how you intend to use the aircraft. Every buyer is different and the perfect aircraft for one person, may be completely wrong for another.
We take the time to understand:
Your travel routes and frequency
Passenger loads and comfort needs
Your operating environment (runways, maintenance availability)
Budget, ownership preferences and timeline
Only once we clearly understand these factors do we begin the process of recommending the most suitable aircraft—whether it’s a workhorse turboprop or a long-range business jet.
-
How far non-stop?
One of the most defining characteristics of an aircraft is range—how far it can fly non-stop.
Different missions demand different capabilities:
600–900 NM: Typical state-wide or regional hops or between islands in the Pacific
1,200–1,800 NM: Suits direct flights between cities like Sydney and Darwin or Brisbane and Port Moresby
2,000–4,000+ NM: Typical of international operations across Southeast Asia, New Zealand, or into the Middle East.
When we model potential aircraft, range is one of the key variables we evaluate based on your most likely routes.
-
How many passengers?
Another critical factor is how many people you want to carry—and how often.
1–4 passengers: Typical for small business executive travel or owner-pilot operations
5–8 passengers: Common for business owners, family travel
9+ passengers: Suits corporates mostly because of the advanced comfort aboard for long range travel
Beyond seat count, we also consider cabin layout, stand-up height, baggage space, and lavatory requirements.
-
How much?
Aircraft vary greatly in price—not just to buy, but also to operate and maintain.
Here’s a starting guide to typical pricing
Light Turboprop Cessna Caravan, King Air 200 $2M–$4M
Light Jet Phenom 100, Citation Mustang $3M–$6M
Midsize Jet Citation XLS+, Phenom 300 $6M–$12M
Large Cabin Jet Gulfstream G450+, Falcon 900 $15M–$50M+
Of course purchase price is just one element—so we’ll model total ownership costs including insurance, fuel, crew, landing fees, hangarage, maintenance and depreciation. Aircraft prices are in USD.
We’ll combine your mission profile with industry insights, real-world operating costs and aircraft performance data to build a custom aircraft acquisition model just for you.
This allows you to:
Shortlist aircraft that fit your mission
Eliminate unsuitable (but sometimes popular) options
Obtain a clear, confident recommendation
We’re brand and dealer agnostic - we work for you, so you’ll benefit from our objective advice, deep market knowledge and a proven process in high-value aircraft purchases.
