Pilatus PC-12NGX – 2237 Deal Summary
Pilatus PC-12NGX – Seller Representation
Aviator Aircraft Sales was appointed by Silver Aviation, a UK-based aircraft operator, to act as broker for the sale of its Pilatus PC-12NGX.
The sale formed an important part of Silver Aviation’s wider fleet expansion strategy, creating capacity for the arrival of its next aircraft while ensuring the outgoing PC-12NGX was professionally positioned and managed through to completion.
The process began with a detailed market review and aircraft valuation, assessing comparable aircraft, current buyer demand, specification, condition and recent transaction activity. This allowed Aviator Aircraft Sales to establish an appropriate guide price and develop the aircraft’s sales and marketing strategy.
Once brought to market, Aviator managed enquiries, qualified prospective purchasers and coordinated aircraft viewings. Interest ultimately progressed with Goldeck Flug of Austria, and Aviator negotiated the initial Letter of Intent (LOI) on behalf of Silver Aviation, ensuring that the principal commercial terms reflected the seller’s objectives.
Following agreement of the LOI, the transaction progressed into the contractual stage. Silver Aviation was represented by specialist aviation law firm Jaffa & Co, with Aviator Aircraft Sales working closely alongside their legal team throughout the transaction. Jaffa & Co represented the seller in relation to the Aircraft Purchase Agreement, contractual documentation and required legal filings, while Aviator remained responsible for coordinating the commercial and operational aspects of the sale.
This close working relationship between broker and legal counsel ensured that commercial negotiations, technical requirements and contractual obligations remained aligned throughout the transaction. Aviator also liaised with the buyer’s legal representatives, helping maintain clear communication between all parties and allowing issues to be addressed efficiently as the transaction progressed.
Aviator Aircraft Sales subsequently negotiated the pre-purchase inspection process and workscope, remaining directly involved throughout the inspection and technical review. We coordinated between the seller, buyer, maintenance facility and respective advisers to manage findings, technical acceptance and the progression of the aircraft towards closing.
The final stage required detailed regulatory coordination to facilitate the aircraft’s transfer from the United Kingdom to Austria. Aviator oversaw the process of obtaining the necessary Export Certificate of Airworthiness, working with the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the relevant Austrian aviation authorities to coordinate the regulatory transition, export requirements and delivery timetable.
The transaction concluded with the successful closing of the sale and delivery of the Pilatus PC-12NGX to its new Austrian owner, Goldeck Flug.
This transaction demonstrates Aviator Aircraft Sales’ ability to provide complete seller representation, while working closely with highly experienced aviation legal advisers such as Jaffa & Co. From valuation and market positioning through negotiation, contractual coordination, pre-purchase inspection, regulatory approvals, closing and final delivery, Aviator remained actively involved at every stage of the transaction.
