Charter is Smarter

For the majority of private aircraft users, charter continues to be the most flexible and cost effective travel option. Unlike Fractional ownership and most Jet Card programs, charter at Sunwest does not require large up front fees. There are no hidden extra charges and there are no financial penalties or losses when your needs change. Sunwest’s customized charter plans can be tailored to suit your own requirements and can involve one aircraft or our entire fleet. Compare our fleet and facilities to any other locally based operator and you will appreciate why many of western Canada’s most respected corporations and individuals continue to make use of our services for their business and private travel needs.

News

As we approach the mid point to 2010, we can state with cautious optimism that the recovery in the business aircraft industry is well under way. After a slow 2009 in the aircraft resale business, we have been busy in the first several months of the year with numerous transactions coming to a close. Sales activity has increased across all categories of aircraft with strong interest and activity on all listed aircraft in the first quarter. During the quarter we concluded the sale of a Hawker 800XP, acquired a 1999 Lear 45, a 2008 Citation Sovereign and added a 2009 Gulfstream G150 to our fleet. We have added a second Lear 45 to our sales inventory (see details in this issue) and a number of acquisition projects are under way. Aircraft resale dealers across North America report a marked increase in activity and the number of transactions during 2010 to date, indicating a general sense that the bottom of the market has been reached. With the exception of certain later model large cabin jets such as Global’s, Falcon 900’s and G450/550’s, which have seen a rebound from historic price drops last year, prices generally remain stagnant as inventories of new and used aircraft are slow to reduce. Manufacturer’s of new aircraft are still suffering as demand for new business aircraft is slow to recover and major production cuts have not been made. Canadian buyers are in an excellent position to take advantage of a high Canadian dollar and a large inventory of low priced new and used aircraft to choose from.
