Private aircraft owners and operators find themselves in a world of dynamic markets, changing technologies and complex financial and legal matters. Managing these variables is critical to mitigating risk, preserving capital and ensuring a positive aircraft ownership experience. When acquiring aircraft, there are many options to choose from and various paths to follow which may produce very different results. First-time aircraft owners, as well as experienced corporate fleet operators, should take this journey with a knowledgeable and trusted advisor at their side. Leading Edge Aviation Solutions is one of the world’s most experienced companies in quantifying your needs, developing strategic plans and providing aircraft transaction services.
Purchasing an aircraft as a first-time buyer can be an overwhelming experience, Leading Edge made it a breeze. During the acquisition of a 605 and subsequent sale & transition into a Global 5000, I truly valued their wide range of services from their consulting and analytics, informative market intelligence and efficient execution of the transactions.
Thanks to everyone at Leading Edge for a job well done selling our Falcon 900EX EASy. Their many years of experience in the industry was evident in the services they provided. We were supplied with quality and timely information to help us make educated decisions and as a result, moved forward with the “right” deal when it was presented. Overall it was a very positive experience dealing with Leading Edge.
When buying or selling an aircraft, you want Leading Edge guiding you through the process. Having purchased my first airplane over twenty years ago with Leading Edge, and subsequently transitioning into a 604 then a 605, Leading Edge has provided exceptional service since day one with each of the acquisitions and dispositions as well as all of the homework in between to educate me fully. Using their “Client’s Edge” program has given me the ability to monitor my costs and operational practices after my most recent purchase. When it comes to my aviation needs, I trust them 100%.
LEAS did a great job managing the sale of our Proline 21 Falcon 50 and the purchase of a Falcon 900EX EASy. We maximized the sale price and terms of the 50 and were able to manage the timing so my operation was without an airplane in service for a very minimal time. The replacement 900EX EASy was a very complex deal including a foreign import and a C inspection as part of the transaction. LEAS handled the negotiations very well making things happen we did not think would be possible. They then helped manage the refurbishment of the 900EX Easy right after we purchased it. We were very pleased
I have known the Carfagnas at Leading Edge for over 30 years. During that time, they have assisted me with acquisitions, dispositions, valuations and analytical work in many different capacities. They are extremely well informed and dialed in to the corporate aircraft market.
Everybody at Leading Edge did an excellent job managing the sale of a Falcon 2000EX for us when I was with my prior employer. When I moved on to my next position, they assisted us with the acquisition of a pre-owned Gulfstream 650. I have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with Leading Edge over a period of many years and recommend their services and capabilities.
