Buy an Airplane

Choose the right ownership structure

Before deciding on a model, decide which ownership arrangement fits your life. Each option has different tradeoffs around availability, cost, and flexibility.

Sole ownership

Maximum flexibility — you make every decision and the aircraft is available whenever you need it. Often the right choice when there's a business use that benefits from favorable tax treatment.

Partnership

Shares acquisition and fixed costs across two or more owners. Premier can connect you with a qualified aviation attorney and help find local partners.

Leaseback

Lease your airplane back to a flight school or FBO to offset ownership costs and potentially turn the aircraft into a profit center. Premier helps set realistic expectations and identify leaseback opportunities.

Define the mission, then pick the airframe

The right airplane is the one that fits your most frequent mission. Business travelers prioritize speed and IFR capability; recreational pilots prioritize low operating cost; family pilots prioritize useful load and cabin space.

Premier's sales team has extensive product expertise across the Diamond line and the broader general-aviation market — including Piper, Cessna, Mooney, Beechcraft, Cirrus, and turboprops — so the recommendation is matched to the mission, not the inventory.

From offer to delivery

Once we've narrowed the field, Premier handles the heavy lifting: pre-buy inspections at our FAA-certified repair stations, escrow and title work, financing and insurance referrals, transition training, and ferry coordination. You sign once and fly home.
