Quartet Jet launches aircraft ownership advisory service
Thomas Nelson, founder and CEO of Trilogy Aviation Group, said Quartet Jet was launched to offer aircraft owners and buyers a more informed advisory model rooted in operational experience.
Thomas Nelson is looking to offer a broad perspective.

Trilogy Aviation Group has launched Quartet Jet, an aircraft acquisition, sales and advisory firm built to bring operational aviation insight into aircraft ownership decisions.

Quartet Jet was created to combine aircraft transaction expertise with the real-world operational perspective developed through Trilogy Aviation Group's charter brokerage activity and daily interaction with operators, flight departments and aircraft owners.

As the founder of Baker Aviation, Stan Baker built a respected name in aviation through decades of experience in aircraft charter, management and maintenance. After selling Baker Aviation in 2022, Baker joined Quartet Jet to spearhead the firm's aircraft sales and acquisition efforts, bringing decades of aviation experience and industry relationships to the platform.

Through Trilogy Aviation Group's charter activity, Quartet Jet maintains ongoing exposure to how aircraft perform across a range of missions, operators and service environments. That vantage point allows the firm to advise clients based not only on specifications and market data, but also on real-world considerations such as mission suitability, reliability, maintenance realities and long-term ownership practicality.

Thomas Nelson, founder and CEO of Trilogy Aviation Group, said Quartet Jet was launched to offer aircraft owners and buyers a more informed advisory model rooted in operational experience.

Quartet Jet services include: aircraft acquisition advisory; aircraft sales strategy and market positioning; and ownership and operational consulting.

“Aircraft ownership decisions involve much more than the numbers in a brochure,” says Stan Baker, founder of Baker Aviation. “After decades working in aircraft charter, management and maintenance, you gain insight into how aircraft truly perform, from mission capability to long-term operational practicality. Quartet Jet was created to bring that perspective into the aircraft ownership process.”

“Too often, aircraft decisions are made around specs alone,” adds Thomas Nelson. “Quartet Jet was built to give owners and buyers a broader perspective, one informed by how aircraft actually perform in active service, not just how they look on paper.”

Quartet Jet will support clients across North America and international markets.
