ExecuJet Africa says it is recording great success following the reopening of its aircraft sales and acquisitions department this February.

“Client demand made reopening the division an easy decision, even in these challenging times, and our early results are very encouraging.” says Gavin Kiggen, vice president of Africa and director of aircraft sales at ExecuJet. “We've already sold and delivered a number of aircraft; the Gulfstream G550 has received the most enquiries this year, with the Hawker 800XP and Bombardier Global 6000 not far behind. It's a seller's market right now, with many aircraft for sale receiving offers within days or even hours of being listed and deals closing quickly.

“Supplies of quality aircraft are limited, which is why we're so committed to supporting the sales and acquisitions industry across Africa and for the Luxaviation Group in every way we can. Our sales team provides a huge range of services, from identifying aircraft and offering independent and unbiased assessments to negotiating prices and delivering market intelligence,” continues Kiggen.

The developments in Africa build on ExecuJet's history as a sales organisation, which previously included distributor roles for Bombardier Business Aircraft including the Learjet, Challenger and Global Express families, the Grob Aerospace SPn light business jet, and the Aerion Supersonic Business Jet.

Sales are not the only success for ExecuJet Africa in 2021. In September, South African aviation safety advisory and training services company Litson & Associates (L&A) confirmed a Silver Aviation Safety Award for ExecuJet Africa. The award recognises that ExecuJet Africa has maintained a high aviation safety standard over a number of years.

Kiggen adds: “The team is now gearing up for the busy season ahead, as we'll be operating flights to Antarctica from South Africa. We're already planning to handle Airbus A340 and Gulfstream G550 flights there from our Cape Town FBO this year.”
