Making Aircraft Export Easy

Although traveling internationally is easy, trading aircraft across borders and jurisdictions is not as simple. Understanding the regulatory requirements, certification processes, as well as scheduling can strain an organization’s resources making an acquisition a more costly endeavor than originally planned.
 
The Aircraft Group® has been managing import and export of aircraft for nearly 20 years. The firm has encountered every manner of circumstances and brings this invaluable experience to every transaction, allowing airlines to save considerable time and money throughout the process. Such was the case with a major Russian airline looking to expand its fleet.

The Aircraft Group’s quality reputation and its ability to efficiently export aircraft were what led the airline to the firm. The airline was expanding its fleet and considering purchasing aircraft from a major US airline. Plans were to have the new aircraft registered in Bermuda. After an initial meeting, the Russian airline knew that it would be more efficient to have The Aircraft Group coordinate the transfer of the 15 aircraft.
 
The Aircraft Group handled aircraft inspections, audited records, merged maintenance programs and ultimately obtained Certificates of Airworthiness. There was no need for the airline to assemble a team or become expert in current regulations. The Aircraft Group was able to begin immediately adding valuable technical and portfolio management expertise to the project. And, while The Aircraft Group was managing the process, the airline was able to focus on its growth ensuring that the expanding fleet would be an asset to its business.
