Aircraft sales company Boutsen Aviation's activities have been concentrated east of its Monaco base recently, with a combination of events and sales in India, Saudi Arabia and Dubai.

In November the company's south east Asia sales representative Atiesh Mishra co-hosted the Indian Corporate Aviation Summit in New Delhi.

Mishra led an extensive panel discussion investigating the elements of purchasing and selling a business jet in India. He particularly focused on the practical aspects, including legal and ownership matters, understanding the value and outlook of the sales market, and how to complete a successful aircraft transaction.

“We are very happy to have taken part in this up-and-coming event,” remarks founder and chairman Thierry Boutsen. “This year we have made extra efforts to expand our presence in the Indian and surrounding market, and I am sure this symposium is going to effectively enhance these efforts.”

Shortly after this event, the company completed two aircraft sales in one week, both in the Middle East region. The first was a Gulfstream GIV SP, a special sale that made for Boutsen Aviation's 365th aircraft transaction to date.

The second was a Falcon 7X, the third in the Saudi SPA fleet. “It was of course an honour and a challenge to take on the sale of such an extensive and esteemed fleet,” says president Dominique Trinquet. “But there's nothing we like more than setting high standards for our company, and I am sure the fourth and last 7X of this fleet will soon follow.”

Looking ahead, Boutsen Aviation will once again be active in the Middle East, as the team showcases the magnificent Airbus A319CJ on the static display at MEBAA in Dubai.

This exceptional aircraft, with interior by Alberto Pinto Design, saw much success at EBACE earlier this year. “This is the first year we will have a significant presence at MEBAA,” says Boutsen, “and I believe the Airbus A319CJ is a perfect aircraft for the occasion to increase our foothold in this region and this market.”
