Sell smarter.
Settle faster.

Market value depends on airframe hours and cycles, engine programme enrollment status, avionics configuration (especially ADS-B Out and HF/SATCOM fit), interior condition and vintage, and comparable transactions from the trailing 12–18 months. Triforce will provide an independent three-value appraisal — retail, wholesale, and forced-sale — as the first step in any engagement. This takes approximately five business days and is provided without obligation.

We always start with an off-market campaign. Your aircraft's availability is shared only with pre-qualified buyers under a mutual NDA — the tail number, registration, and owner identity are withheld until a serious buyer has been identified and cleared. Many of our dispositions close without any public listing. If a public listing becomes appropriate (usually after 4–6 weeks without an LOI from the off-market campaign), we discuss that with you before proceeding.

A straightforward pre-owned transaction typically closes in 10–14 weeks from the date the aircraft enters the market. The appraisal and preparation phase (weeks 1–3) is non-negotiable — it is also the phase that consistently protects the seller from last-minute renegotiations. Complex transactions with cross-border registration, SPV restructuring, or extensive maintenance work prior to sale can run 16–20 weeks.

No. Triforce represents one side of any transaction — exclusively. Dual agency is a fundamental conflict of interest that we do not practice. If a buyer approaches us about an aircraft we are listing, we refer them to their own independent advisor. If you are both selling an aircraft and looking to acquire a replacement, we run those as two separate mandates — sell-side and buy-side — with clear separation between the teams.

Brokerage commission is agreed in writing at the outset of the engagement and is a percentage of the gross sale price — structured so our interests are aligned with achieving the highest possible price for you, not the fastest closing for us. The specific rate depends on aircraft type, market conditions, and scope of services. We will provide a clear fee schedule before you sign anything.

Yes, and it is a common arrangement. We run the two mandates separately — a sell-side engagement for your current aircraft and a buy-side engagement for the acquisition. The dispositions and acquisition are often timed together to minimise the period without a primary aircraft. Many clients also arrange a short-term charter bridge during the transition, which Triforce's charter desk can support.

This is where our preparation phase pays for itself. If we have audited the records and maintenance programme before the aircraft goes to market, there should be no surprises. In the rare case where a PPI surfaces something that was genuinely unknown at listing, your advisor manages the impact directly — whether that means negotiating a price adjustment, arranging for the work to be completed prior to closing, or, in serious cases, advising you to walk away from a deal that no longer makes sense.
