Aircraft Acquisition
SkyShepherd Aviation's experienced professionals have the knowledge and skills to help you navigate the current aviation market and find the right aircraft at the right price, supporting you every step of the way. Once you list your aircraft with SkyShepherd, you gain access to our worldwide network of sales agents, which offers your aircraft global visibility among a pool of pre-screened buyers.
Aircraft Selection
This is the most important step in the purchasing process. We don’t just sell you what’s in our inventory; SkyShepherd analyzes your requirements, reviews your flying profile, and works within your budget to recommend the aircraft that best suits your needs.
International Market Search
Thanks to our unique industry relationships and up-to-the-minute market data, we have search capabilities that surpass simple internet searches available to individual buyers. Our access to the global marketplace allows SkyShepherd to find aircraft that aren’t yet listed, and our established sales network gives clients a chance to view upcoming inventory before it becomes accessible to the public.
Aircraft Inspection & Evaluation
SkyShepherd provides expert evaluations for each aircraft by conducting essential inspections on airframe, engine, component times, and inspection status. We also assess the aircraft's avionics, damage, service compliance, and genealogy.
Technical Review and Market Valuation
Good information is crucial for making successful business decisions. To minimize the risks associated with purchasing an aircraft, SkyShepherd conducts a thorough review of the most accurate market information available, ensuring that you are completely informed every step of the way.
Initial Offer and Negotiation
When you are ready to purchase your aircraft, SkyShepherd's purchasing executives will negotiate on your behalf to secure the best price, removing the hassle from the purchase process.
Documentation and Final Purchase
Once your purchase is complete, SkyShepherd collaborates with regulatory authorities, title companies, finance companies, and any other relevant parties to help you get into your new aircraft and into the skies as quickly and stress-free as possible.
