Aircraft Management Services
Whether you have an existing flight department, are purchasing your first aircraft, or just need some advice on how start up your flight department, Desert Jet can help by providing a tailor-made solution. Our team specializes in aircraft management and can provide a wide range of services from a turn-key management plan to oversight of your existing department, to anything in between.

Aircraft Acquisitions
Are you considering the purchase of an aircraft? Changes in the economy have turned the long manufacturer waiting lists for new aircraft into a buyer’s market. Jets that were previously sold with hefty premiums are now available with substantial reductions in price. The used market is flooded with aircraft that are being sold by recently closed and downsizing flight departments. With all these aircraft to choose from, which one is right for you? Where do you go to find the “diamond in the rough” and avoid the deal that is “too good to be true”?

There is no other management team in the country with two NBAA Certified Aircraft Managers (CAMs) on staff ready to assist you. We oversee the entire pre-purchase process to ensure you are getting the best value; a well-maintained aircraft that fits your mission at an exceptional price.
