Press Release

Issued by JetBrokers.

December 5, 2014

JetBrokers, the leading US and European business jet, turboprop and helicopter sales and acquisition specialists today announced a common brand identity and refreshed corporate identity to further their already substantial aircraft sales activities.

Tom Crowell Jr, second generation president of the founding family who originally incorporated JetBrokers in the USA in 1993 commented:

“As the industry finally starts to emerge from its deepest recession in living memory, we are pleased to see significantly increased levels of demand for our services not only in USA, our traditional core market but pleasingly elsewhere across the world. As such, following a strategic review of our business conducted over recent months with our key business partners, we believe this is the right time to re-launch the company worldwide under a common, unified brand identity. This is a logical and positive step to reflect the increasingly complex needs of our clients around the world who generally seek cross border business services and solutions spanning various cultures, time zones and languages.”

He added. “Our business partners endorse and fully support this initiative, so whilst country by country individual legal entities will remain, our clients can enjoy a common format and communications strategy underpinned by the business standards and ethics which we, and indeed our clients, have always valued so highly. In essence, a global business with global reach and common capabilities threaded together with local expertise”.

Tim Barber, co-founder of the JetBrokers Europe brand added. “Since joining the JetBrokers business network in 2009 we have been able to build our business in partnership with the very positive and strong legacy created by JetBrokers in the USA. Their 21 years of experience has assisted our rapid growth, initially in western Europe but over recent years extending activities into the Middle East and Asia. This alliance has proven to be a great success and these developments mark a logical and practical evolution of our business and service offerings for our growing client base”.

John Merry, chairman of Aura Aviation and co-founder of the JetBrokers Europe brand explains. “Our Aura Aviation unit, which is the authorised area sales representative for the exciting TBM 900 product in the UK and Ireland, is being expanded to encompass our wider activities, both within and beyond the business jet, helicopter and turboprop arena. There will be further announcements on this in due course but today our focus remains on further developing the pre-owned sales and acquisition activity within JetBrokers.

We are excited by these developments and look forward to 2015 and beyond with both confidence and enthusiasm.”
