OTHER SERVICES

At Loutzavia Aircraft Sales division we also offer the following services:

Apart from helping you to buy or sell the right aircraft at the right price, we also offer the following services to our esteemed clients:

• We will help you to get an independent appraisal on the real value of your aircraft, this will be based on the Blue Book and current market trends in South Africa.
• We have made numerous calculations with different aircraft and can sit with you to show you exactly what sort of investment and running cost will be required to keep your aircraft flying based on your utilisation expectation and the costs of operation.
• When you decide to buy an aircraft there is always the pre-purchase inspection and the checking of the logs to confirm that all the mandatory maintenance was done and that there are no nasty surprises. We can assist our clients to make the process as smooth as possible.
• We will also help you to get in touch with the financial institutions to enable you to arrange finance for your aircraft purchase.
• We can also assist you to get the most competitive rate for the insurance of your aircraft. This is always based on the experience of the pilot and the type of utilisation of the aircraft.
• If you do not have the aircraft in your logbook or you need training to become current on the aircraft it is also possible, we will assist you with conversion & refresher training.
• Furthermore we could probably assist you with managing your investment in terms of utilisation contracts and maintenance. This way the painful down payments are made a little less painful. This could include any utilisation the owner and the operators agree upon such as Contracting, hire-&-fly, charter, training . . . .
• A new concept, that has already been proven in the USA and, that we are now looking to launch in South Africa is a fractional ownership program. It basically means that we assist our clients to become co-owners & are able to utilise an executive type of aircraft in a fractional ownership program without the headaches of normal aircraft ownership. This usually makes the ownership cheaper and improves the utilisation of the aircraft and thus reduces fixed cost portion of the operating costs. This is however not the classic hire-&-fly type of program.
• Hangerage is tough to find but with our contacts we could probably help you to get a safe place to store your investment at.
