Worldwide
International buyers and sellers
Tell us about your aircraft and a JetsFly sales specialist values it against recent sales and current listings of the same type, adjusted for its hours, maintenance programs and inspection status. You then decide how to sell: a public listing, or a confidential sale presented only to qualified buyers.
This page walks through a sale from the valuation to the day the aircraft leaves, the ways to sell and what each means for price and privacy, what decides the price buyers will pay, and how to get the aircraft and its records ready.
How selling a private jet works
- 01
Market valuation
We compare your aircraft with recent sales and current listings of the same type, and adjust for hours, cycles, engine programs, upcoming inspections and equipment.
- 02
Records and preparation
Complete logbooks, maintenance tracking reports and program statements are gathered first. Buyers make offers faster on an aircraft whose records answer their questions.
- 03
Listed or off-market
Your aircraft is listed publicly or presented discreetly to qualified buyers and brokers. Its registration and your identity stay private until you choose otherwise.
- 04
Offer and letter of intent
A buyer signs a letter of intent with the price and conditions, and places a deposit with an independent escrow agent.
- 05
Pre-purchase inspection
The buyer's chosen maintenance facility inspects the aircraft and its records. Defects found are fixed or settled in the price, as the letter of intent sets out.
- 06
Closing and delivery
The money and the ownership change hands through escrow, the registration is transferred and the aircraft is delivered to the buyer.
Listed, off-market or traded in
Public listing
- The widest audience of buyers and brokers
- Competing interest can support the price
- The aircraft and its registration become public
- A long listing can make buyers ask why it has not sold
Off-market
- Shown only to qualified buyers, your name kept private
- No public price history for the aircraft
- A smaller pool of buyers at any one time
- Works best when priced close to the market
Trade-in
- Simple when you are buying a new aircraft
- One negotiation for both aircraft
- The trade-in price is usually below a direct sale
- Only with the dealer or maker selling your next jet

Indicative 2026 market ranges in US dollars, to see where your aircraft sits. Each aircraft's value depends on its hours, programs, inspections and cabin.
What decides your jet's price
Hours and cycles
Flight hours and landings on the airframe and engines, compared with other aircraft of the same type and age.
Engine and APU programs
Engines enrolled on an hourly maintenance program are worth more, because the next overhaul is already paid for.
Upcoming inspections
Buyers price in the cost of large inspections that are due soon. Recently completed ones add value.
Records and damage history
Complete logbooks back to the first flight and a clean damage history keep buyers confident and the price up.
Avionics and compliance
Upgrades that buyers need for where they fly, such as ADS-B Out or FANS and CPDLC for oceanic routes, widen the market.
Cabin, paint and connectivity
Condition and a modern cabin with Wi-Fi help an aircraft stand out against others listed at the same time.
Get your jet ready to sell
Records complete and scanned
Missing logbook pages are a common reason for a buyer to lower an offer or walk away. Find and scan everything before listing.
Programs and inspections current
Keep engine and APU programs paid up and inspections current while the aircraft is for sale.
Small defects fixed
Open items from the last inspection, worn cabin parts and paint chips are cheap to fix now and expensive in a negotiation.
A clear specification and photos
A full equipment list, cabin layout and recent photos let buyers judge the aircraft before they ask to see it.
What happens at closing
Loans cleared
Any loan on the aircraft is paid off from the sale money through escrow, and its registrations, including in the International Registry, are discharged.
Registration transferred
The aircraft is deregistered or moved to the buyer's registry. A move abroad needs an export certificate of airworthiness.
Programs handed over
Engine, APU and parts programs usually transfer with the aircraft, which is part of what the buyer paid for.
Delivery
The aircraft is flown or handed over where the letter of intent says, often at the inspection facility.
