Selling and sourcing

Owners can ask the team to sell an aircraft, and the website sets out the benefits of an exclusive mandate. Buyers can submit a request for a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft they want found. The company also runs a Referral Partner Programme that pays a commission when a referral leads to a closed transaction.

Team

The site lists Deborah Nicholls, Laurence Nicholls and Johan Borstlap as contacts. Laurence Nicholls is described as CEO, a commercial pilot on helicopters and fixed wing aircraft who has worked in aircraft sales and leasing since 1974, and the team is linked to Jet Freighters Sub-Saharan Africa.
