Step 1: Determine the Value of Your Aircraft

Before listing your private jet for sale, it's crucial to establish its market value. Factors such as the aircraft's make, model, age, condition, and maintenance history all play a role in determining its worth.

SOLJETS' advanced SOLDATA platform provides real-time market insights, enabling accurate valuation based on current market trends and comparable sales data.

Gather Essential Documentation

This includes:

  • Maintenance records
  • Logbooks
  • Inspection reports
  • Ownership records
  • Warranty information

Having these documents readily available will instill confidence in potential buyers and expedite the transaction process.

Step 2: Prepare Your Jet for Sale

First impressions matter, especially when selling a high-value asset like a private jet.

Before listing your aircraft, consider the following:

  • Perform any necessary maintenance or repairs
  • Conduct a thorough cleaning and detailing of the interior and exterior
  • Update avionics and other systems, if applicable
  • Ensure all equipment is functioning properly
