Essex Aviation Acquires Gulfstream G650 for New York based Client

Essex Aviation Group, Inc. is pleased to announce they have successfully completed the acquisition of a pre-owned Gulfstream G650 for a private client in New York. Essex was retained by the client’s recently formed family office to provide on-going consultation services as well as for the acquisition of the G650 aircraft. Essex advised the client based on their desire to support their projected business and personal travel needs.  The process began by identifying the most favorable candidate aircraft model that would meet both objectives. Essex worked diligently, vetting various Gulfstream G650 aircraft that were both publicly and privately for sale, ultimately acquiring a 2014 Gulfstream G650 from a public corporation. Essex advised and managed the negotiations on behalf of their client throughout the complete acquisition process. Essex also accompanied the aircraft during the pre-purchase inspection providing on-site technical representation.


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.
