MAKING AIRCRAFT TRANSACTIONS EASIER AROUND THE GLOBE

When purchasing aircraft directly from a manufacturer, customers are used to a high level of service and the most information possible. Why shouldn’t buyers and sellers in the preowned market enjoy those same high standards?

That was the conclusion lifelong aviation professional Garett Jerde came to, as well. So, he founded JETHQ (www.jethq.com), bringing together industry veterans and a team of aviation experts and brokers, to make aircraft transactions easier for buyers and sellers. To be the dedicated partner looking out for clients’ interests, every step of the way.

Jerde began as a demonstration and ferry pilot, flying planes from the middle of the United States to Singapore and Scotland to South Africa. After he traded ferrying for the sales side of the business, he saw firsthand how unique the needs of clients were in one part of the globe to another. Customers rely on experts who know the local culture, can speak the language and successfully navigate complex regulations.

Chairman Ted Farid’s 50-year career in aviation combined all of those attributes, having served in leadership positions for iconic manufacturers including Cessna, Bombardier Learjet and Beechcraft. In his decades of work, he built international relationships and broke barriers with new markets in Asia.

Together, Jerde and Farid, assembled sales experts who are leaders in their fields, and positioned exactly where they can be of greatest service to clients. That includes Rohit Kapur, President JETHQ Asia, who flew helicopters in the Indian Army for almost 20 years before founding and leading his own aircraft sales company.

Bringing a level of trust and acumen in aircraft transactions is what separates JETHQ from other brokers. Because the company has sales specialists all over the globe, JETHQ is able to find the right aircraft for clients to buy and open up entire marketplaces of qualified buyers for those wishing to sell. JETHQ, a member of the International Aircraft Dealers Association, has ramped up its presence throughout the world – including Asia, the Middle East and the Americas – to meet its business growth.

It has opened up new markets in Mexico under seasoned aviation professional Gabriela Perez de Leon, and Egypt, with import/ export expert Sherif Abouzeid. Jethq’s team in Asia has grown to meet market demand, adding Sanjeev Choudhary, who brings decades of aviation experience to his role as Vice President of Salesasia. As the authorized Kodiak sales representative for India and South Asia, JETHQ delivers the versatility and adventure of this rugged aircraft to the region.

Jethq’s on-the-ground experts know the local culture, speak the language and can navigate complex regulations. It’s how they turn a deal from stuck to completed.

In recent months, JETHQ team members have used that expertise to show how sellers can capitalize on aircraft demand, demonstrate how operators can take advantage of tax changes and accurately assess and value aircraft to maximize financial returns for owners. JETHQ have exclusive access to a wide range of jets, turboprops and helicopters, and have the financial resources and in-house contracting to make deals happen.

Through a variety of services, JETHQ helps people achieve their business goals by handling all aspects of transactions and by providing options all over the globe. In addition to sales and acquisitions, JETHQ professionals work with clients on aircraft inspections, acceptance and deliveries and consulting services. They assist customers with special projects and uncommon aviation requests, including airborne test platforms, medical evacuation, air operator’s certificates (AOC), or commercial aircraft.
