1. Initial Consult - Our process begins with an Initial Consult where our experienced team works closely with your team to determine if purchasing an aircraft aligns with the needs and goals of you or your company. Through deep discussions and assessments, we consider operational, financial, and strategic factors to ensure that an aircraft acquisition is the right decision for enhancing your business or personal travel capabilities.

2. Selection Process - During the selection process, we conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to identify the aircraft model that best suits your mission. This involves analyzing your specific travel patterns, budget constraints, and performance requirements to ensure we select an aircraft that fulfills your operational needs efficiently and effectively.

3. Demo/Charter/Selection - Demo Day offers a unique opportunity for you to experience firsthand how the potential aircraft performs and meets your expectations. Our team coordinates demonstration flights, allowing you to evaluate the aircraft's comfort, handling, and capabilities, ensuring it aligns with your preferences and requirements.

Pre-Purchase Inspection (Pre-Owned) - Privé coordinates and supervises the Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) on-site at an authorized service center, ensuring the aircraft meets manufacturer maintenance standards, complies with airworthiness directives, and has accurate maintenance records and logbook entries. This includes a detailed physical inspection paired with any necessary maintenance or checks. The PPI’s scope adjusts based on the aircraft’s age, flight hours, and maintenance status, always incorporating engine and APU exams. The findings guide the final purchase decision and provide leverage for negotiating price adjustments.
