Aircraft Ownership

What We Do — From Vision to Value

WestReach Aviation is built for clients who expect more than just purchase facilitation. Whether you’re acquiring in Canada, the United States, or sourcing internationally, or seeking to sell your aircraft, we deliver a full-spectrum service: strategy, acquisition, compliance, delivery, operations, and resale — all with transparency, integrity, and expert execution.

​

 

Our Capabilities

1. Strategic Planning & Asset Profiling - Assess mission needs (range, payload, flight sectors, use frequency) to define what aircraft type fits best. Analyze operating cost models—including maintenance schedules, fuel, crew, insurance—and future resale potential in U.S./Canadian markets. Evaluate new vs. pre-owned options, lease vs. purchase vs. fractional ownership where appropriate.

2. Sourcing & Market Access - Access both on-market and off-market opportunities in the U.S., Canada, and abroad. Vet each candidate’s history: logs, maintenance, AD / SB compliance, modifications, and prior ownership. Provide side-by-side comparisons that account for all costs—import/export, duties, regulatory modifications—so you see the true “all-in” number.

3. Due Diligence & Contracts - Arrange in-depth technical inspections (airframe, engines, avionics, structural, systems). Negotiate and review purchase contracts with region-specific legal, tax, and regulatory protections. Title verification, lien searches, registration status checks—both U.S. (FAA) and Canada (Transport Canada)—and assistance with international registry if relocating or operating abroad.

4. Import/Export & Registration - For imports to Canada: ensure aircraft types are eligible, manage foreign deregistration, help with import certificates, transport logistics. For imports to the U.S.: ensure airworthiness standards conform, handle FAA registration, foreign deregistration, bill of sale. For exports/sales overseas: manage export certificates, compliance with destination nation's aviation authority, prepare for customs, re-identification (tail-markings, transponders, etc.).

5. Financing, Tax & Insurance - Structure financing that works for domestic or cross-border purchases. Identify tax benefit opportunities (sales/use tax, duty relief, incentives) in U.S. states or Canadian provinces. Secure comprehensive insurance: hull, liability, risk coverage for transit and overseas exposure.

6. Delivery & Operational Readiness - Oversee delivery logistics domestically or cross-border. Coordinate pre-delivery modifications, configuration, acceptance check-lists. Ensure crew training, maintenance support, operations manuals, and regulatory compliance are in place before first flight under your registration.

7. Compliance & Lifecycle Management - Keep up with ongoing obligations: inspections, certifications, airworthiness directives (U.S. / Canadian / foreign authorities). Maintain accurate documentation, logbook support, registry renewals, AD / SB tracking. Monitor for regulatory changes in both countries (and those you may fly into) to avoid penalties and preserve value.

8. Resale or Exit Strategy - When it’s time, we prepare your aircraft for sale: comprehensive documentation, marketing positioning (domestic, cross-border, or global market). Manage negotiation, escrow, title transfer, export or import compliance for buyer jurisdiction. Aim to maximize value and streamline transaction.
