Fleet planning
Asset selection by mission profile, network requirements, hub constraints, residual modelling. Narrowbody, widebody, freighter, regional.
E · Advisory & Consulting
Aviation advisory for the people writing the cheques.
Strategic and technical advisory for airlines, lessors, asset managers, investors and operators in formation. Decisions in our industry compound for a decade — we make sure the right ones get the right depth of analysis behind them.
01
Services
Six advisory tracks. All grounded in technical reality.
No PowerPoint decks divorced from operations. Every analysis our desk produces is grounded in records we have actually read and assets we have actually inspected.
Asset valuation
Independent half-life and adjusted valuations for transactions, financing, insurance and accounting. Documented methodology.
Technical DD for lenders
Records audit, condition snapshot, residual sensitivity and risk register for banks and equity providers underwriting aviation assets.
Lease-end strategy
Nine-month redelivery roadmap with adjustment-matrix modelling and lessor-acceptance plan. Saves six figures on a typical narrowbody.
Operator setup
Asset selection, CAMO setup, manuals, ARC, AOC support coordination — from greenfield airline to charter operator.
Strategic procurement
Long-term parts and MRO contracting, pool entry negotiation, OEM relationship setup, supplier audits.
