This is a blog site, focused on the corporate jet market. We discuss topics of interest to people considering acquiring or selling a corporate jet. We have a number of contributors but the main author is Claude Franco.

We use these “tags” as guiding principles for all content published by us and our guest contributors.

• “The Truth” – discuss topics, giving the truth, not filtered details to support an advertiser
• “An insiders view” – give content that is beyond just the public statements
• “Be Considerate” – try not to offend but do not compromise on telling it as we see it
• “Be Respectful” – be dignified and respect the rights of others to disagree

When acquiring  or selling a major asset there are many people with their hands out asking for money and providing services. The most of these entities are honestly providing what they consider the best approach for their clients.

Without us disagreeing with them, it is always advisable to get a second opinion and have pointed questions for the service providers. We hope to publish articles that give you more details on how they work, what flexibility or limitations they face and whether we feel they are other service providers that may offer a better fit to your needs.

We are not offering consultancy on transactions – that is not the purpose of the blogs. Due to the public nature of the blog postings we do not go into details on each deal. That type of information is better provided as a service, not a blog.

The focus of this site, and the blog articles are based on:

1. Changes to the corporate jet market place
2. Particular suggestions from our reader

As of now we focus on:

• Understanding of the workflow between the different service suppliers
• Cost and complexity of doing transactions in different regions of the world
• Regional coverage of suppliers – who can do what were
• We are building a list of suppliers by group, with some form of ranking (not yet public)
• We have a newsletter published monthly
• We will launch our subscription service later this year (details that we do not feel are right for a blog entry)

Yes, we offer a monthly newsletter. Please sign-up for it.

We are still in the planning phase for subscription services. We plan on having a paid service where we offer content that is not right for a blog article. We will give more information when we enable our subscription service. Any feedback you have on this subject is most welcome.
