Connecticut-headquartered aircraft brokerage and consulting firm Guardian Jet has launched a new division dedicated to light jet and turboprop aircraft sales and acquisitions.

Led by newly promoted sales director Keegan Dwyer and newcomer Andy Moss, the new division will cover a range of light jets and turboprops, including the Pilatus PC-12, Cessna Citation, Embraer Phenom, Beechcraft King Air and Daher TBM.

“Expanding our focus to light jets and turboprops allows us to leverage our extensive data and market intelligence on over 150 aircraft models to better serve aircraft owners and operators,” says managing partner Mike Dwyer. “Our clients benefit from our comprehensive technical data, market expertise and professional approach, ensuring that they receive the best value in their aircraft transactions.”

The new division aims to bring to the light jet and turboprop market the same level of data-driven expertise typically reserved for larger aircraft transactions. The firm's robust technical data and market intelligence capabilities will enable precise aircraft valuation, while its marketing expertise will ensure maximum exposure for aircraft listed for sale.

Keegan Dwyer is promoted to sales director, light jets and turboprops, focusing on the northeastern US, while Andy Moss will join the company as sales director, light jets and turboprops, serving Texas, Central America and Mexico.

Keegan Dwyer joined Guardian Jet in 2019 and has since held numerous progressive roles. Most recently, he was part of the aircraft sales team, managing more than 20 transactions. He has also specialised in aircraft valuations as part of the aircraft market research team. He is pursuing a BSc in business management and is training to become a private pilot. He is an IADA-certified aircraft broker.

Moss brings a wealth of experience in the light jet and turboprop market from his tenure at Textron Aviation where he held various progressive roles. As a regional sales director, he managed Beechcraft King Air and Cessna Caravan turboprop sales in Mexico, earning accolades such as ‘International Turboprop Sales Leader’ and ‘Top Turboprop Market Share’. Moss holds a bachelor's degree in business administration and is set to earn his Private Pilot's Licence this month.
