Essex Successfully Acquires Global Express XRS

Essex Aviation is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of a Global Express XRS. Essex identified and presented multiple on and off-market candidate aircraft and advised the client throughout the acquisition process. Since the aircraft selected by the client was European registered, Essex also managed the aircraft’s European export and de-registration, along with the import and new United States registration process.

Essex also facilitated and provided on-site representation of an extensive pre-purchase inspection which was completed at Jet Aviation Basel, Switzerland. With the acquisition phase complete, Essex will continue to assist and represent the new owner during a planned extensive interior refurbishment that will include exterior paint, avionics upgrades and maintenance needs.

Essex also worked with their client to identify, review and ultimately select a service provider for the aircraft refurbishment, in addition to the selection of an aircraft management company for the on-going operation of the aircraft. Essex’s continued involvement during post-acquisition activities is indicative of their experience, knowledge and dedication to client relationships, as well as their ability to support a variety of critical transaction services from the initial aircraft acquisition through a wide range of post-closing activities prior to the aircraft entering service.

Essex Aviation Group, Inc. was founded in 2013 with the primary goal of providing clients with the most current industry knowledge and experience, a vital component in evaluating business and private aviation transportation needs.

Representing clients in a wide range of services, Essex builds client relationships through dedication to trust, integrity and a level of responsiveness not found anywhere else. Services include new or pre-owned aircraft acquisitions, new aircraft completion management, pre-owned aircraft refurbishment and upgrade management, block and ad hoc charter services and much more.
