Private Aircraft Sales
Buying or selling a private aircraft is a transaction measured in more than price. LUND GROUP manages the process around market positioning, discretion, qualified counterparties and the aircraft itself.
Owners
I own an aircraft
Understand market positioning, value the aircraft, and sell publicly or off-market with qualified buyers only.

A Private Aircraft Transaction Requires More Than a Listing
LUND GROUP manages aircraft sales discreetly, from initial market positioning and buyer outreach through transaction coordination and closing.
We are not a classifieds portal. Many of the aircraft we handle are never listed publicly; they are presented privately to qualified buyers. We act as broker or representative, and aircraft remain owned by their sellers.
Current opportunities
Aircraft Currently Available
No public listings right now
Many aircraft are offered privately rather than listed. Tell us what you are looking for and we can discuss current private and off-market opportunities.
Ask about private opportunitiesPublic sale
Public sale
The aircraft is presented openly with approved details and photography, reaching the widest market. Best when wide exposure matters more than privacy.
Off-market
Off-market sale
No public listing. The aircraft is shown only to selected, qualified buyers, protecting owner identity, schedule and price. A teaser with limited details is a middle path.
Exclusive vs open mandate
With an exclusive mandate one broker controls presentation and buyer contact. An open mandate lets several brokers market the aircraft, which can lead to inconsistent pricing and overexposure.
Process
How we sell an aircraft
01
Initial discussion
A confidential conversation about the aircraft, your timing and whether a public or private sale suits you best.
02
Aircraft review
We review specification, records, maintenance status, programs and upcoming inspections — the factors buyers will examine.
03
Market positioning
We assess comparable aircraft and market conditions to agree an asking strategy grounded in the aircraft itself.
04
Marketing
Public presentation, a teaser with limited details, or a fully off-market approach to selected buyers — your choice.
05
Buyer qualification
Prospects are qualified for intent, funds and decision-making authority before detailed information is shared.
06
Negotiation & due diligence
We coordinate offers, the letter of intent, deposits and the pre-purchase inspection with your advisers.
07
Closing
Escrow, title, deregistration and delivery are coordinated with the specialists involved through to handover.
Valuation
Aircraft valuation
A credible value needs more than the model and year. We look at the aircraft in detail before discussing positioning, and the first conversation is free and confidential.

Sell your aircraft
Tell us about your aircraft
Tell us the aircraft, location and what you are considering. The first discussion does not need to become a public listing.
Preparation
Preparing an aircraft for market
Records
Complete, organised logbooks and records are the foundation of buyer confidence.
Maintenance
Know what is coming due. An inspection close to sale affects buyer perception and price.
Specification
An accurate, current specification sheet prevents surprises later.
Cabin
Small repairs and cleaning can change how a buyer sees the aircraft.
Photography
Professional, aircraft-specific photography — never stock images.
Pricing
A realistic asking strategy avoids the aircraft becoming stale on the market.
Documentation
Ownership, registration and program documents ready for due diligence.
Buyer qualification
Detailed specifications, records and owner information are shared only after a buyer's intent, funding and decision-making authority are established, typically under a non-disclosure agreement.
Private and off-market aircraft
Some of the most desirable aircraft change hands without a public listing. Buyers who brief us clearly are the first to hear about suitable private opportunities.
By manufacturer
Aircraft sales by manufacturer
Gulfstream
Large-cabin and long-range types where program enrolment, inspection timing and cabin age weigh heavily.
Bombardier
Challenger and Global families; Global buyers focus on range, cabin zones and connectivity.
Dassault Falcon
Falcon types valued for efficiency and airport performance; program status matters.
Embraer Executive Jets
Phenom and Praetor families; strong interest from first-time and upgrading owners.
Cessna Citation
A wide range from light to super midsize, with a deep market of comparable aircraft.
Pilatus
PC-24 and PC-12 owners often value short-field and multi-role capability.
LUND GROUP is independent and not affiliated with any aircraft manufacturer.
By category
Transaction
From offer to closing
Pre-owned aircraft
Available sooner, often with upgrades already installed. Value depends heavily on records, programs and inspection timing.
New aircraft
Bought from the manufacturer with your specification, but delivery positions can be years away. Some buyers acquire a pre-owned aircraft in the meantime.
Technical due diligence
Records review, airworthiness status, damage history, programs and compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
Pre-purchase inspection
An inspection at an agreed facility, with scope set out in the purchase agreement. Findings are usually addressed through negotiation.
Offers & LOI
A letter of intent typically sets price, deposit, inspection scope and timeline before the purchase agreement.
Escrow, title & closing
Funds and documents are commonly held by an independent escrow agent until conditions are met and title passes.
Cross-border sales
Changes of registry, import, VAT and tax treatment vary by jurisdiction and need specialist legal and tax advice.
General information only, not legal, tax or technical advice. We coordinate with your specialist advisers.
Europe & Monaco
Aircraft sales in Europe and Monaco
Many of our clients are based in or around Monaco and across Europe. We coordinate sales involving European registries and buyers worldwide, working with the specialists each jurisdiction requires.
Timing & fees
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the aircraft, pricing, records and market conditions. Brokerage commission is agreed in the mandate; we discuss terms openly at the start.
Avoid
Common seller mistakes
Unrealistic asking price
Overpricing makes an aircraft stale, and stale aircraft attract lower offers.
Incomplete records
Missing records reduce buyer confidence and value.
Weak presentation
Poor photographs and an out-of-date specification undersell the aircraft.
Overexposure
An aircraft shown everywhere by many brokers can look harder to sell.
Poor buyer qualification
Sharing details with unqualified prospects costs time and privacy.
Ignoring upcoming maintenance
Buyers price in inspections that fall due soon after purchase.
Buying
