Sell Your Airplane Like a Dealership Asset — Not a Classified Listing
|
On-site aircraft consignment with professional marketing, buyer qualification, and execution from listing to closing.
This Isn’t Theory. This Is Our Business Model.
We don’t teach aircraft leasing — we operate it.
Zach Purvis and Aviation Ape actively own and manage aircraft leased to flight schools and flying clubs nationwide. This is the same model used to acquire, place, and oversee aircraft on behalf of our clients.
We handle the entire process, including:
Aircraft acquisition
Pre-buy inspections and due diligence
Financing coordination (when applicable)
Lease placement with vetted operators
Ongoing oversight and asset management
Clients benefit from:
Cash-flowing lease revenue
100% bonus depreciation (when applicable)
Zero day-to-day operational involvement
This Is a Physical Aircraft Dealership — Not Remote Brokerage
Aviation Ape operates as an on-site aircraft dealership, not a remote listing service.
All consignment aircraft are physically delivered to and sold from our facility. Aircraft are professionally presented, actively marketed, and shown only to qualified buyers in a controlled environment.
This model creates urgency, trust, and a cleaner buyer experience — which leads to faster sales and stronger outcomes.
If an aircraft cannot be relocated to our facility, it is not a fit for this program.
How On-Site Aircraft Consignment Works
Seller Qualification & Reserve Agreement
We confirm the aircraft is market-ready and agree on a net reserve price.
Aircraft Delivery to Our Facility
The aircraft is based on-site and integrated into our active sales inventory.
Professional Marketing & Exposure
Photography, listings, direct buyer outreach, and promotion through Aviation Ape’s network.
Buyer Handling & Negotiation
All inquiries, showings, and negotiations are handled by our team.
Closing & Delivery
Purchase agreement coordination, escrow, FAA paperwork, and final delivery suppor
Why Physical Location Matters
Buyers can see, inspect, and evaluate the aircraft in person
Showings occur in a professional, controlled environment
The aircraft benefits from being part of an active dealership inventory
Sellers are removed from logistics, scheduling, and tire-kickers
This is how aircraft are sold efficiently — and correctly.
Consignment Terms & Incentives
How It Works:
A guaranteed net reserve price is agreed upon with the seller
The seller receives the full reserve amount
Any proceeds above the reserve are Aviation Ape’s commission
Example:
Seller reserve
$525,000
Sale price
$560,000
Aviation Ape commission
$35,000
No percentage-based commissions
No misaligned incentives.
We win only if we outperform.
