Privé Jets

Privé Jets is a private jet sales advisory firm. Its website is titled Private Jet Sales. The company guides buyers, sellers and owners of private jets through aircraft deals. It does not state a head office on its site.

The company says it has handled more than US$19 billion in private aircraft transactions and over 500 completed deals. It also states that its team has more than 50 years of industry experience. Clients quoted on the site include a director of aviation at a Fortune 100 company and a private equity client in Dallas, Texas.

The site describes six strengths. These are time control, data based insight, close attention to detail, benchmarking of aircraft to support value, an understanding of the emotions of buying a jet, and advice on cutting costs and improving returns. One client says the firm led its move away from fractional ownership and helped with several purchases and the choice of a management company.

The site answers common questions. It says resale value depends on model reputation, aircraft age, maintenance history, floorplan, options and market timing. It says the right time to buy or sell depends on market trends, inventory and the owner's goals. It also points to the full cost of owning a jet, including buying, operating, selling and tax. It says deals are handled with strict privacy.

Two sample listings appear on the home page. One is a G500 and the other is a Challenger 605, a super mid size business jet. The Challenger 605 listing shows room for 10 passengers, a range of 4,123 nautical miles and 7,498 hours on the airframe. Each listing has an explore link, and a full inventory page is offered. A contact page is also available.
