Why Eagle Aviation is the Trusted Name in Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions
The Eagle Difference
At Eagle Aviation, we don’t just help people buy or sell aircraft—we build long-term partnerships grounded in trust, expertise, and results. With nearly six decades of experience, we’ve earned our reputation as a go-to resource for aircraft owners and operators across the globe.
Our dedicated sales team works exclusively in aircraft transactions, which means you won’t find us juggling part-time sales or generic listings. We live and breathe this market every day. Our deep industry relationships, combined with boots-on-the-ground market knowledge, give our clients a real-time advantage in a competitive landscape.
We understand that buying or selling an aircraft is a significant decision. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a seasoned owner, or an organization managing multiple aircraft, our team adapts to your needs with white-glove service, tailored strategies, and unmatched transparency.
More Than a Broker: A Full-Service Partner
Aircraft transactions involve more than simply finding a buyer or locating a plane. They include inspection coordination, valuation, financing, risk mitigation, and post-sale support. That’s where Eagle stands apart.
With in-house support across:
- Certified Maintenance: Our full-time maintenance team ensures pre-purchase inspections are reviewed by experts who understand every nut and bolt.
- Paint & Interior Completions: Whether you’re buying or selling, we help you enhance value with fresh interiors or custom finishes.
- FBO Services: Our facility is fully equipped to handle arrivals, deliveries, and demonstrations, offering convenience and continuity.
These touchpoints allow us to streamline complex deals and ensure quality control across every stage.
IADA Accreditation and Certified Brokers
The International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA) sets the standard for ethical and experienced aircraft sales. Fewer than 7% of global dealers meet their requirements, and Eagle Aviation is one of them.
What this means for our clients:
- You're working with professionals who adhere to a strict code of ethics.
- Our brokers are tested and certified in contracts, legal protocols, operations, and compliance.
- We participate in ongoing education to stay ahead of trends and regulatory changes.
Our President, Lee Thomas, is a Certified IADA Broker—a credential earned through rigorous testing and ongoing learning, which brings a deeper level of trust to every transaction.

Real Results, Real Relationships
Aviation is personal. That’s why our team stays involved from the first conversation to the moment you taxi away—and long after.
Our clients say things like:
“Your professionalism, knowledge, and industry experience were keys to the recent sale of our Sovereign. Might I also add that your people skills (including a delightful sense of humor) were much appreciated.”
Our work isn’t transactional. It’s relational. We believe that trust is earned, not promised.
