Now in its 20th year of business, business aviation brokerage, consulting and analytics company Guardian Jet has launched its most robust software upgrade yet, online aviation asset management portal Vault 4.0.

“At Guardian Jet, we built the most extensive library of technical and operational content in the private aviation industry. The depth of the information is unprecedented, and we're making it available exclusively to our clients,” says co-founder and co-managing partner Mike Dwyer. “Vault 4.0 provides data and transparency to help our clients feel prepared and protected for every aspect of buying, operating and selling jets.”

Vault 4.0 upgrades include easy online access to vast amounts of data and analytics intelligence on the technical, legal and operational aspects of aircraft ownership. Additionally, the redesigned software navigation offers users one-click access to each client's fleet, transactions, favourite tools and features.

Newly added features include:

- Technical library: access current estimated costs for inspection schedules, maintenance programmes, avionics upgrades, connectivity, cabin management systems, refurbishments, service bulletins and much more, indexed for each model.

- Knowledge centre: research every topic that affects the evaluation, acquisition, operation and disposal of aircraft.

- Performance centre: evaluate the capabilities for an aircraft to meet a mission based on what the client wants to fly, to where, with how many passengers and when.

- Legal library: get an insider view into legal procedures, regulations, documents and terms that apply to ownership and trades, complimenting support of aviation attorneys.

The Vault also offers the following tools:

- JetFinder: use detailed search criteria to find the perfect jet and see listings of every model for sale; compare range and cabin sizes for passenger and luggage capabilities; view automated financial projections based on travel usage and more.

- Guardian estimate: understand an aircraft's value based on the condition of the market as well as track potential aircraft replacement options.

- Asset management: actively manage aircraft just as you would an asset in a portfolio over the short and long term to conduct a trade at the right time and on the right basis.

- Monitor transactions: monitor the entire aircraft purchase and sales process and view all status updates and documentation, including every prospect inquiry, offer technical comparison, inspection report, agreement, fleet plan and more.

Vault 4.0 offers 24/7 online access to pre-owned market information giving clients a better understanding of aircraft pricing for over 100 aircraft models. It provides crucial transparency around high-dollar airplane transactions and delivers actionable analytics and insights for expert-informed decisions, saving clients millions with better timed and executed trades over the aircraft ownership experience.
