Buyers are turning to top tier pre-owned Globals, G550s and Falcons as alternatives to factory aircraft, creating scarcity of select models and driving up prices.

The companies working together is best exemplified by a Gulfstream G550 project unveiled in August. SmartJets brokered the acquisition of this aircraft and then VIP Completions refurbished the interior.

The project for a first time aircraft owner featured custom interiors, upgraded technology and bold exterior styling, completed in an unusually rapid timeframe.
