Assent enters into broadcast agreement with AWE
A new TV show ‘Straight and Level’ will cover and highlight topics related to aviation news and information, including aircraft for sale, markets, aviator information, segments on aircraft, and how to purchase and sell.

Private aircraft auction house Assent Aeronautics has formed a broadcast partnership with the AWE Network, a US cable TV channel that will be airing pilot programme ‘Straight and Level’ on 28 January. The pilot programme will be followed by the Assent Aeronautics Live Private Aircraft Auction airing on 4 February, and another original episode of ‘Straight and Level’ on 18 February. The wrap-up episode ‘Vectors to Final’ will air on 4 March as a follow up to the programme series. Re-runs of the live auction programme will be broadcast after the live airing through 3 March.

Straight and Level will cover and highlight topics related to aviation news and information, including aircraft for sale, aircraft markets, aviator information, segments on aircraft, how to purchase aircraft and how to sell aircraft, all of which are Assent Aeronautics' areas of expertise.

The 4 February Live Private Aircraft Auction hosted by Assent is the sixth in a series of private aircraft auctions hosted by the auction house, with over $180 million worth of aircraft coming across the auction block in the inaugural year in 2020 during a global pandemic. Assent's Live Private Aircraft auctions garner on average over 20,000 live viewers per auction and provide serious buyers and sellers with a new way to buy and sell private aircraft. The auction format offers straightforward processes, contracts and closing procedures that put excitement and clarity into the aircraft buying process. With digital research tools provided by Assent's auction partners, auction attendees have immediate and streamlined access to the data they need to make educated bidding decisions.
