Aircraft Acquisition
Market Assessment & Valuation
Before buying or selling, you need to know what the market really offers and how one aircraft compares with the others. EDAERO builds that picture so that decisions rest on comparable aircraft, not on asking prices.
What it covers
The essentials
Available aircraft
Which aircraft of the type are actually for sale, including those not publicly listed.
Comparable aircraft
How year, hours, cycles, configuration and equipment compare across the field.
Maintenance position
Time to scheduled inspections and engine programme enrolment, which change the real cost.
Recent market activity
Recent transactions and how long comparable aircraft have been on the market.
Independent valuation
Where needed, a formal valuation by an independent appraiser, for example for a lender.
