5x5 Trading

5x5 Trading is a business aircraft brokerage and advisory firm. Its website says all four principals work on every transaction. The firm serves private individuals, family offices, corporate leaders and corporate flight departments.

The firm lists five main services. These are brokerage and acquisition, aircraft trading, private aviation advisory, aircraft market analysis and corporate aircraft fleet strategy. Each engagement starts with a confidential consultation with a principal.

The site says its valuations rely on current market data and comparable sales. For sellers, the firm offers a technical review before a buyer finds an issue, and it coordinates qualified buyers through principal level networks. For buyers, it sources aircraft against the mission and coordinates financing and tax alignment.

The website says 5x5 is IADA accredited and that its principals are IADA certified aircraft brokers. The site also says the firm has an A&P certified technical team on staff. It describes its approach as advice first, which can include advice to hold, restructure or wait.

For fleet clients, the firm says it sequences every transaction around the full fleet program. The website says the founding team managed large scale fleet transitions for NetJets and Wheels Up. Its principals say they have sat on every side of the table in aircraft deals.

The firm publishes Market Signal, a quarterly report from its principals about what they see in the market. Its aircraft inventory is listed on AircraftExchange.
