Securus Escrow has been established as a new specialist escrow service aimed at bringing greater piece of mind and transparency to aircraft transactions. The London-based company is supported by aviation law firm Gates & Partners and can provide separate escrow accounts for clients with a leading UK bank.


According to managing director Geoff Gates, the new service is aimed mainly at aircraft brokers who want a safe and secure process for holding deposits, funds and documents on behalf of people and companies selling aircraft. “We hold these until both parties [to the aircraft transaction] are ready to proceed and then hold a conference call with both the buyer and seller on the line to confirm that everything is in place,” Gates explained. “On acceptance of the signed agreement the funds are released by wire transfer.”
