BREAKING NEW GROUND: MAKING AIRCRAFT TRANSACTIO­NS EASIER

JETHQ has sales experts who are leaders in their field and positioned them where they can be of greatest service to clients

-

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

That was the conclusion 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. This brought in a 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 US to Singapore and Scotland to South Africa. After he traded ferrying for the sales side of the business, he saw first-hand how unique the needs of clients were from 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.

LEADERSHIP POSITION

Jet HQ chairman Ted Farid’s 50-year career in aviation combined all these attributes as he had 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 is familiar in India as the founder and former president of Business Aviation Operators Associatio­n. Rohit is ably assisted by Sanjeev Choudhary, vice-president, Sales, and who brings in decades of experience in aircraft sales.

RIGHT AIRCRAFT

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, it 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 Africa and the Americas – to meet its business growth. As the authorised Kodiak sales representa­tive for India and South Asia, JETHQ delivers the multi-mission versatilit­y of these new aircraft to the region.

It has opened up new markets in Mexico too under seasoned aviation profession­al Gabriela Perez de Leon, and Egypt, with import/export expert Sherif Abouzeid. Clients throughout Africa and the Middle East have benefited from local ties with Abouzeid and Kani Saritas, who report to Dubaibased

Rebecca Johnson, president, JETHQ EMEA. While other brokers struggle to complete difficult transactio­ns in some of these areas, Jethq’s acumen and local knowledge allow it to satisfy its customers’ needs.

FINANCIAL HEFT

JETHQ team members have used that expertise to complete transactio­ns for buyers and sellers looking to right-size their fleets or flight department­s. With an exclusive access to a wide range of pre-owned jets, turboprops and helicopter­s, JETHQ has the financial resources and in-house contractin­g to make deals happen.
