Nevada-based aircraft brokerage Aerocor has maintained its position as the global leader in very light jet sales and acquisitions for the seventh year running. In 2023, the company successfully completed 35 aircraft sales spanning multiple market segments including VLJs, light jets and mid-cabin jets.

The company also celebrated its first rotorcraft transaction, a Eurocopter BO-105CB. Over 50 per cent of these transactions took place in the fourth quarter alone, allowing many clients to capitalise on bonus depreciation and other tax related deductions. Aerocor's market dominance in the Eclipse 500 segment remained unshaken, as the firm served to represent the buyer or seller in 72 per cent of transactions globally.

Aerocor also expanded to become a full service aviation company with the launch of an aircraft management division, Aircraft Management Solutions (AMS).

"AMS offers clients unparalleled full-service or customisable, a la carte management options," says president Garrett Woodman, who joined the company at the beginning of January. "After launching AMS, we immediately enrolled two mid-sized cabin aircraft under our active full service management programme, a Citation Sovereign and a Hawker 800A. We are thrilled to provide these clients with innovative management and charter solutions, and we look forward to bringing our services to new clients in the future."
