Frequently Asked Questions

The recommendation is that if a client plans to fly greater than 200 hours a year, they should consider ownership. Anything under 200 hours per year, I will recommend that we evaluate chartering vs ownership. Even under that threshold, sometimes ownership is the right choice based on the mission of the new owner!

Leviate is an Accredited Dealer with (IADA) International Aircraft Dealer’s Association. This means that we have been deeply vetted and uphold a very stringent code of ethics within the aviation industry. Leviate Air Group prides itself on the transparency we provide to our clients in all 3 divisions: charter, sales, and management. Our sales team is made up of IADA Certified Brokers with backgrounds in OEM sales, Research, Charter Brokerage, Piloting, and Aircraft Management, amongst other facets of aviation.

Not at all. Our team has extensive knowledge in representing buyers and sellers from every continent in the world, excluding Antarctica. Often, we have been able to source aircraft at significantly lower purchase prices from locations outside of the United States and thus provide more value to the client in their future resale. We provide oversight in the pre-purchase inspection on each aircraft before an owner takes delivery, to ensure the asset is ready for the new owner!

Leviate Air Group has a whole division dedicated to the management of aircraft. This team oversees both Part 91 and Part 135 operations. When an owner is looking to purchase an aircraft and needs assistance with hiring crew, finding training slots, or other staffing questions, our sales team will bring in the management experts to assist and ensure our clients are ready for their first flight!
