Aircraft Acquisition & Consulting in Chicago
The commercial aviation industry has recently experienced unprecedented changes with regard to travel restrictions, limited schedule availability, flight cutbacks with Airline Companies, passenger violence as well as the public’s genuine concern about the spread of communicable disease.
As a result of this situation, charter and private aircraft services are in greater demand than ever, as they provide travelers with the freedom and autonomy they seek. Many businesses and individuals have come to the conclusion that non-commercial air travel not only saves time, but is also extremely cost effective and convenient.
The past 2 to 3 years have seen an unprecedented level of activity and volume of “First Time Owners/Buyers” in all areas of the Aviation marketplace, but notably in the Corporate Mid/Light Jet and Turbo-Prop segments of the market.
For many years, Jet International Management & Services has specialized in assisting and enabling new owners to gain entry into the incredible world of “Corporate & Personal Aviation”. James Wilcox has created and established over a half dozen Flight Departments over the years.

Having knowledge of the “Current Marketplace and Trends” are an invaluable and must-have item in today’s sales arena! Maintancee and legal aspects are another critical component that requires detailed attention and experience.
Successfully purchasing or selling an aircraft is a complex process that should be only managed by highly knowledgeable and market savvy professionals.

We can serve as highly engaged client advocates by not only providing expert inspections on aircraft, but also working with an MRO (Maintenance Repair Organization) to oversee quality control, repair decisions and cost control measures. In today’s marketplace, it is not uncommon to have a 6-month lead-time on pre-purchase or heavy inspections. With our years of relationships and knowing the “Right People” for the mission is one of our specialties.
With safety as our top priority, we can arrange for your airplane to be serviced at one of our authorized MRO partner shops or at a facility of your choosing.
As aircraft age and accumulate hours, maintaining and servicing them becomes more critical. This need for accurate and timely maintenance is one of Jet Internationals’ specialties. We have clients who regularly contact us for our knowledge, expertise and history working with the various models of Corporate Jet and the MRO providers who maintain them.
“For example, one particular model of Corporate Jet, the Hawker 800 Series has been in production since 1964 and ceased production on the mid 2000’s is still very popular workhorse. This jet is no longer in production and therefore parts supplies are becoming more of an effort to secure.” With our expertise, we know MRO’s who actually have capability and authorizations to create or remanufacture parts for the popular Jet Aircraft.”
