Welsch Aviation

Welsch Aviation is an aircraft brokerage firm. The site says it was founded in 1949. It describes itself as the original aircraft brokerage firm still operating today. The site says the firm does not own, operate or inventory airplanes, so it has no conflict of interest with buyers.

The company offers aircraft sales services, aircraft acquisition services and exclusive listings. The site says sales work includes on site aircraft and records review, professional photography, 360 degree tours, custom PDF brochures, print and internet ads, and help with sale documents.

For buyers, the site says the firm gives an independent value assessment of the global market for a target make and model. It says a buyer's choice depends on pedigree, reliability, value and safety. The site says the firm works as a fiduciary for its clients.

The site tells the story of founder James C. Welsch. It says he watched Charles Lindbergh in Cincinnati in 1927. It says he became director of sales for Aeronca by 1932. The site says the firm has handled thousands of international and domestic transactions.

The site lists brokers in four regional offices in Washington, D.C., Texas, Georgia and New York. It says about 95 percent of its business comes from word of mouth referrals and repeat clients. The site says the firm has been in business for three quarters of a century.

The contact page lists office phone numbers, including (703) 787-8800 for Washington, D.C. and (713) 644-5100 for Texas. It lists an Instagram account. The site has a contact form and a news section.
