The Deal Structure We Don’t Use

cover

Aircraft transactions rely on a clear chain of title and transparent relationships between buyers, sellers, and any intermediaries involved. While brokers and dealers can play important roles, clarity around ownership, pricing, and compensation is essential to maintaining alignment throughout the process.

In this episode of The Preflight Checklist, we explain how transparency affects aircraft transactions, including the role of brokers, the structure of back-to-back deals, and why undisclosed economics can create misalignment. Understanding these factors helps buyers and sellers navigate complex transactions with greater confidence and clarity.
