Buying an Aircraft
The right aircraft is the one that fits your mission, your budget, and an honest inspection. Peregrine represents buyers worldwide and manages every stage of the acquisition, so the aircraft you close on is the aircraft you were promised, backed by more than 400 closed transactions.
How we represent buyers
From the first conversation through closing and delivery, Peregrine handles the work of the transaction.
Worldwide aircraft search
We locate aircraft matched to your mission profile and budget, drawing on four decades of industry relationships across global markets.
Aircraft surveys and inspection analysis
We survey candidate aircraft and read inspection findings the way only an operator with four decades of these deals can, separating cosmetic issues from costly ones.
Pre-purchase inspection supervision
We scope the pre-purchase inspection, place the aircraft with a facility we trust, and stay on the findings daily, so every discrepancy is documented, priced, and resolved before closing.
Price and inspection-item negotiation
We negotiate the purchase price and every inspection discrepancy, backed by real market data and 400-plus closed transactions.
Title, escrow, and FAA documentation
We coordinate the title search, lien check, and escrow through established title and escrow agents at the FAA Registry in Oklahoma City, manage the FAA and International Registry filings, and make sure you close with clear title and a complete records package.
Financing and leasing solutions
We help arrange financing through established aviation lending relationships, and through our trading partners we can offer financing and leasing solutions on aircraft we sell, so the acquisition and the capital come through one relationship.
Tax-aware transaction structuring
We structure purchases, sales, and fleet replacements with the tax consequences in view, and we work alongside your tax counsel on depreciation planning, trade-in timing, and entity and registration questions before they become closing problems.
Cross-border and delivery logistics
We structure international transactions end to end: cross-border deal structuring, ferry flights, airworthiness directive review, and international title and escrow management, so an aircraft bought abroad arrives home with clean papers.
Contract management
We manage the purchase agreement from letter of intent through closing, keeping the deal on schedule and on terms.
Built for principals
Peregrine represents corporations, family offices, entrepreneurs, and flight departments.
Our clients have ranged from first-time buyers stepping into a light jet to organizations such as the Anschutz Corporation, GE, IBM, the Onassis Estate, L’Oréal, Peugeot, Volvo, and the Prince of Monaco. The common thread is a principal who wants the deal done right and a dealer accountable for it.
And because Peregrine is a dealer as well as a brokerage, the right aircraft is sometimes already ours. We buy and inventory aircraft on our own line of credit, which means we can sell to you directly, with the speed and certainty of a principal transaction.
Tell us the mission. We will find the aircraft.
Start with a conversation about where you fly, how often, and with whom. We will tell you, candidly, what the market offers at your budget.
