Your aircraft.
Our mission.

CYA Aviation's practice spans both the commercial aviation and corporate aviation markets. Aircraft within scope include narrowbody airliners (Boeing 737, Airbus A320 family), widebody airliners, regional jets, and large business jets configured for private or corporate use — including the Boeing BBJ, Bombardier Global series, Gulfstream G650/G700/G800, and Dassault Falcon 7X/8X/10X. Our work covers operators across the scheduled commercial (FAA Part 121) and on-demand commercial (FAA Part 135) categories.

CYA Aviation operates exclusively as an independent advisor. We do not broker aircraft, hold inventory, or accept commissions from sellers. All work is conducted on behalf of the buyer as a fiduciary advisor. This structure eliminates the conflicts of interest that exist in traditional brokerage relationships.

An acquisitions consultant guides a buyer through the full lifecycle of acquiring a transport-category aircraft. The work includes defining mission requirements, scanning the market for suitable candidates, technical and operational evaluation, structuring the offer, coordinating the pre-purchase inspection, negotiating discrepancy resolution, and supporting the closing. The consultant's role is to represent the buyer's interests throughout, ensuring the aircraft delivered matches the requirements and the value paid.

A pre-buy inspection is a structured technical evaluation of an aircraft prior to purchase, conducted at an MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility) selected for the type. The inspection reveals airworthiness, maintenance, and condition issues that affect both safety and value. Coordination matters because the buyer's interests must be actively represented during inspection — including which items get inspected, how discrepancies are categorized, and how the seller resolves findings before closing. CYA Aviation provides independent technical advocacy throughout this process.

A records review is an independent audit of an aircraft's maintenance and compliance documentation. It covers airworthiness directive (AD) compliance, service bulletin (SB) status, adherence to the manufacturer's maintenance program, prior damage history, and identification of any documentation gaps or value-impacting discrepancies. A thorough records review is often the strongest predictor of an aircraft's true condition and remaining service life.

Yes. CYA Aviation provides advisory services worldwide. Frequent transaction jurisdictions include the United States, United Kingdom, European Union member states, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and select Asia-Pacific markets. Cross-border aircraft transfers carry regulatory, tax, and registration complexity, and our advisory work addresses those factors as part of the acquisition process.

Aircraft management covers the ongoing operational oversight of an owned aircraft once acquired. The scope typically includes vendor coordination, regulatory compliance monitoring, maintenance program management, operator selection and oversight, and budget administration. CYA Aviation provides management advisory at the principal level — ensuring the aircraft is operated, maintained, and represented in accordance with the owner's standards and interests.

The first step is a confidential conversation to understand the mission profile — how the aircraft will be used, expected utilization, geographic operating range, passenger configuration, and budget framework. From that conversation, CYA Aviation develops an acquisition strategy, including candidate aircraft categories and timeline. Initial conversations carry no obligation.
