Experience

For more than 18 years, Florida Jet Sales has been providing aircraft brokerage, acquisition, sales and leasing for our customers. In that time, we have purchased and sold more than $1 billion dollars worth of aircraft ranging from executive Boeing Business Jets to Beechcraft King Air turboprops. As an inventorying dealer, we have the resources to purchase trade-in aircraft to help facilitate customer transactions. We have owned, brokered, refurbished and sold hundreds of business jet aircraft. In the process, we have developed a reputation in the industry for delivering expert and honest advice and service. By offering complete turnkey service from the early concept stages of the purchase or sale through closing and beyond, we provide customers with exceptional value.

The founding principle of our business has remained that of developing long-term relationships with each of our customers and we work very hard to create and maintain a high level of confidence, trust and integrity throughout that relationship.

With 33 years of Corporate Aviation experience and the last 19 in sales, you can be rest assured that I know the aircraft we buy and sell. An Airline Transport Rating, A&P License and Inspection Authorization, and 11 Type Ratings (in a range of corporate jets from Cessna to Gulfstream) complete my extensive knowledge and understanding of the aircraft we deal in.

You can be certain when Florida Jet Sales, Inc. is working for you, nothing is left to chance.
