The final stage of selling an aircraft is where precision matters most. Closing a jet sale requires strict coordination between legal, financial, and technical parties. Even small oversights can cause costly delays.
Arcadia Jets ensures that every closing is seamless, compliant, and stress-free.
The Importance of a Controlled Closing Process
Aircraft closings are complex because they involve multiple jurisdictions, international regulations, and financial verifications. A structured process minimizes risk and ensures ownership transfers cleanly.
“A successful closing is about foresight, not luck,” says Adam Hahn, CEO/Founder of Arcadia Jets. “We anticipate every step and confirm every document before signatures hit the page.”
Step 1: Confirm Documentation Accuracy
Title certificates, bills of sale, and FAA registrations must match perfectly. Brokers verify that all documents reflect the correct serial numbers, registration, and ownership data.
Step 2: Secure Escrow and Payment
All transactions should occur through a neutral escrow service. This ensures funds are verified and released only when documents are properly executed. Arcadia Jets works exclusively with trusted aviation escrow partners.
Step 3: Coordinate Delivery and Acceptance
Delivery involves more than handing over keys—it requires mechanical verification, signed acceptance, and condition confirmation. Brokers manage these steps to ensure the buyer receives the aircraft exactly as represented.
Step 4: File FAA and International Documentation
If the sale involves export or deregistration, brokers handle the corresponding filings to ensure legal transfer of ownership. Arcadia Jets manages communication with the FAA, attorneys, and customs officials as needed.
The Final Review
Before completion, our team conducts a final review of all documents, inspection results, and escrow terms. Only once every detail is confirmed do we authorize the release of funds and final signatures.
