Aircraft market intelligence firm AircraftPost is hosting a one-hour session to dissect a business aircraft transaction—specifically for a Gulfstream G650—on Wednesday, October 21, at 3:30 p.m. in Room W314 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in tandem with NBAA-BACE 2026. The “Behind the Deal” discussion, featuring four panelists from different disciplines involved in aircraft transactions, is free but requires registration. (AircraftPost is an AIN Media Group company.)
Panelists will be aircraft broker Michael Barber, JetAviva’s managing director and v-p of sales operations; aircraft financier Kyle O’Donnell, sales executive at Elevex Capital; engine OEM expert Lindsey Gillen, v-p of sales and marketing at Rolls-Royce; and appraiser Jeff Dunn, president of Hawthorne Aero Valuation Services. The AircraftPost team, led by AIN Media head of data Jo-Anne Arruda, will moderate the session.
According to Arruda, “Each panelist will explain their role in getting the aircraft placed on the market and sold.” She said the session is aimed at a wide array of people in the business aviation industry, including aircraft owners and operators, those working for aircraft finance companies, aircraft brokers, and aircraft market researchers and analysts.
“An aircraft transaction looks very different depending on where you sit,” she noted. “‘Behind the Deal’ brings together the broker, engine OEM, financier, and appraiser perspectives to look at the same aircraft through four very different lenses. Attendees will get an inside look at what each expert considers before a deal moves forward, where their priorities differ, and how market data helps bring the full picture together.”
