Aircraft Build

While a new plane will have a higher cost up-front, it will require less maintenance for the duration of the warranty period.

Buying new allows you to build a relationship with a manufacturer and gives you access to newer technology not available in the pre-owned aircraft market.

Purchasing a new model means that during the completion, you can customize the engine, avionics and interior configuration as per your personal preference. The latest aircraft will include the most carbon-efficient performing engines and the latest safety and cabin comfort developments.

New build fit-outs

When you opt to purchase a new private aircraft from the manufacturer, they will typically provide the completion work. You may choose to take the airframe to an alternative specialist outfit.

Manufacturers of business aircraft pride themselves on the possibilities for ‘customerization’ of their product range and provide virtual tools and showrooms dedicated to demonstrating the options available. The selection process may be daunting and we can accompany you on this journey! You may consider, for example, a neutral approach to finishes as this will benefit the resale appeal when the time comes, although of course, your aircraft is a significant investment and you may prefer to express your personal tastes.

If it is a large new executive airliner or pre-owned airliner conversion you are purchasing, it is more likely that the services of a design and completions team are engaged independent of the OEM. This is because the cabin spaces available will enable a higher degree of design flexibility including conjuring bedrooms, full galleys and shower rooms. These specialist interiors are created on a uniquely individual basis and more suited to a fit-out firm than a ‘production line’ manufacturer. We can advise on the best solution for your project.
