Altair appointed to remarket GIV and Boeing 727

Altair has been mandated as
exclusive remarketing agent for the sale of a Gulfstream GIV-SP and VVIP Boeing
727. “These aircraft are in very good condition and offer outstanding value for
money” says Altair chief operating officer, Jean Sémiramoth. “They’re almost as
capable as more recent types but available at a fraction of the cost.”

There are many more reasons
to buy pre-owned business jets, as Sémiramoth explains: “It is usually quicker to get a pre-owned aircraft into the sky and
although it can be time-consuming to go through the pre-buy inspection that
should be part of the purchase of any used aircraft, a new airplane can take
several years to arrive. A second hand airplane will arrive at its destination
at almost the same time as a new model, yet the cost will be significantly
lower.”

He continued
“Buyers of pre-owned aircraft also have a greater choice of service options. To
keep from voiding warranties, owners of new aircraft are obliged to use only
factory-owned or approved service facilities. But other qualified service
providers may be more conveniently located, less expensive, deliver equal
service or offer other advantages.”

“It is true that buyers of new aircraft can configure them at the factory but
today’s enormous choice of aftermarket refurbishment programmes enables buyers
of pre-owned jets to upgrade aircraft to like-new condition. So, when you
factor in the lower purchase price, this can represent a large saving over
getting the same equipment installed in a new airplane,” added Sémiramoth.
