PlaneSmart! Privacy Policy

Lease

Leases work well for pilots and non-pilots alike. Lessees may select from several air lease usage plans to fit their individual travel needs. With lease, you will share access to one or more aircraft and have operational control for each flight you make. If you are an interested and qualified pilot you can do the flying, or simply hire a pilot to take you where you want to go.

Acquisition

There are numerous benefits to private airplane ownership. Whether for business or leisure travel, operating your own aircraft allows the greatest flexibility and efficiency for your busy schedule. The PlaneSmart! Team will help you identify the right piston, turboprop, or private jet aircraft to fit your mission profile. We also help our clients safely navigate common pitfalls associated with aircraft maintenance, liability, and tax exposure.

Sales

PlaneSmart! has extensive experience matching aircraft seller with committed aircraft buyers. Our methodical approach begins with research and valuation of your aircraft to support its asking price. We then initiate a marketing campaign that includes our proprietary database of prospective buyers. Once the right candidate has been located, we help you both through the contract negotiation and pre-purchase inspection phase for a successful and, painless closing. Connect with one of our experienced aircraft brokerage team members today to discuss a sales strategy for your airplane.

Charter & Leaseback

PlaneSmart! Charter is a FAR 135 charter operator. Some owners choose to add their airplane to our charter fleet enabling PlaneSmart! to book flights and increase the productivity of their airplane, subject to FAA 135 oversight. For the prospective owner, PlaneSmart!’s Brokerage team can help you find a plane that would perform well under charter operations. For owners that don’t wish for a charter role, we have a leaseback program that can also keep an underutilized airplane flying.
