AINsight: A Stickler for Details
When buying or selling an aircraft, the devli is in the details. But so are the diamonds.

Everyone reading this knows the sophistication and complexity of the business aviation field, as well as the expensive factors involved. The cost to buy, the cost to operate, the cost to charter, the overall cost to utilize these amazing pieces of equipment. There is one more cost that could be the biggest: the cost of missing critical steps in business aircraft buying, inspecting, or operating processes. These are the details.

Lately, I have had a few aircraft brokers on the other side of a transaction say, “Wow, I wish we had found a buyer that was not as focused on the details as you all have been.” I can only scratch my head at that comment and wonder what that must look like for everyone involved.
