Trusted Acquisitions Service

Have you found yourself hovering around various manufacturer and resale websites dreaming of owning an aircraft? Have you seen a few deals that seem too good to be true? LIFT Aviation Company can assist you with acquiring your own aircraft, ensuring a seamless purchase while avoiding potential costly pitfalls. We are here to ensure a successful purchase—and of equal importance—successful ownership of your plane.

For many, owning an aircraft offers the ultimate in control and flexibility. If you are looking to buy, we will help you find the right aircraft best suited for your mission.

With a combined eighty years of experience as passionate aviation professionals, we have developed and refined a four-step process to help you acquire the right aircraft for your specific needs:

  1. Develop Your Mission Profile. Your distinct mission profile incorporates the purpose of your plane along with the desired range, speed, budget, and the expected passenger and baggage capacity.

  2. Optimize Mission Needs We look at your needs against the costs of acquisition, maintenance, operating, and fixed costs. You may see a price online and think, “Wow, I can buy a jet for $350k!?” That may be possible—but the aircraft may cost additional hundreds of thousands to maintain each year. At LIFT Aviation Company, we will prepare you for the variable and fixed costs of each option, and explore cost-offset solutions.

  3. Recommend Aircraft Options. We assist you in selecting the best available aircraft, how the aircraft will be utilized, considering time on airframe and engines, avionics, cosmetics, maintenance history, known upcoming maintenance events, and anticipated future value.

  4. Evaluate and Secure Selected Aircraft. Once we assist in finding the right aircraft, we will provide a cost-of-ownership model based on market trends and forecasted usage. We will then coordinate all negotiations and inspections to minimize your initial cost, discuss our managed upgrade process, forecast short-term fixed and variable costs, while using our tried-and-true professional documentation and clear communications throughout the process.
