Aircraft Transactions are Complex
Rivet Manages the Process from Start to Finish
Our strategy centers on understanding each client’s operational and ownership goals, leveraging market insights, and managing the fast-moving parts that drive complex aircraft deals. From readiness and representation to due diligence, negotiation, and final delivery, we bring structure to what’s often fragmented – and control over the complexity.
Cost • Utilization • Readiness
The real work starts before
the purchase.
Choosing the right jet is a complex decision, and getting it right starts with understanding how the aircraft will be used. We work closely with clients to define these parameters early, then initiate a focused aircraft search using trusted contacts, off-market options, and vetted listings.
We then conduct a thorough evaluation of each aircraft’s maintenance history, service programs, engine and airframe hours, and any factors that could impact long-term reliability, cost of ownership, or resale potential. Maintenance considerations are often misunderstood or overlooked, and they play a critical role in the success of any acquisition.
Rivet provides ownership cost modeling based on the aircraft’s configuration and projected utilization. This includes estimates of fixed and variable costs such as crew, insurance, hangar, and scheduled maintenance providing clients with a clear view of the financial impact before the deal is made.
Selling a jet isn’t just about exposure. It’s about execution. Rivet manages aircraft sales with the same discipline we bring to acquisitions: focused preparation, strategic outreach, and full-cycle coordination from pre-listing to closing.
We work with clients to ensure the aircraft is positioned to support asking price, both in its physical presentation and in the completeness of its records. That includes addressing cosmetic readiness, logbooks, maintenance status, and any known discrepancies that could impact buyer confidence or delay
the sale.
Throughout the process, we coordinate with legal, tax, insurance, and escrow professionals to move the sale forward efficiently and with full oversight.
Rivet manages sales transactions that protect your time, financial outcome, and peace of mind.
