2019 turned a Purchaser’s market since 55 of the Worldwide 404 operational Hawker 800XPs had been now accessible on the market, (representing 14% of the whole fleet), making this a difficult marketplace for promoting a Hawker 800XP or different related pre-owned non-public jet plane.

Early within the inspection course of our skilled inspectors discovered that after inserting the plane with its new operator, the proprietor dropped the top-tier engine and APU upkeep service plans that had conveyed with the plane upon buy. We suggested the property that the shortage of the APU and engine packages was a big discount within the plane’s worth.
The property agreed with our suggestion and determined to re-enroll the plane on the top-tier engine and APU upkeep service program.
Though the proprietor solely flew 100 hours within the two years because the engines and APU had been un-enrolled from the upkeep service plan packages, the engine producer, Honeywell, required a full enrollment inspection and efficiency analysis of the engines previous to acceptance into a brand new APU upkeep program.
Upon the advice of The Non-public Jet Firm, the property engaged Dallas Airmotive to carry out the engine re-enrollment inspection, since they did the 2011 Midlife Inspections for these engines. Upon re-inspection, the engines had been discovered to be in glorious situation and Honeywell agreed to re-enroll the engines. Based mostly on our direct negotiation with Honeywell on the re-enrollment buy-in quantity we had been in a position to safe a considerable low cost for the proprietor.
With the 20-Yr inspection accomplished and the engines and APU now re-enrolled on the top-tier packages, we contacted potential patrons who inquired in regards to the plane. One purchaser supplied the most effective phrases and after some negotiations on behalf of the property, a purchase order settlement was executed. The brand new proprietor was a King Air operator within the Midwest shopping for the agency’s first jet.
The client agreed to just accept the current 20-year G Inspection as their Pre-Buy Inspection and a easy transaction was concluded by the supply of a extremely upgraded, freshly inspected and absolutely program enrolled Hawker 800XP. Each purchaser and vendor had been absolutely glad with the transaction and its end result.
