How to Sell Private Jets
If you have a private jet that has been used for personal or business use, the aircraft can be sold just like any other asset. Typically jets and other aircraft are sold with the assistance of a broker rather than by owners, such as with real estate. While you can opt to sell a jet on your own, AV Buyer suggests that you will get lower offers than you would with a broker. For this reason, using a broker has become the industry norm.
