At Six West, aircraft ferrying is more than just moving an aircraft from point A to B—it’s a tightly managed, multinational operation. Whether delivering new aircraft, repositioning assets between leases, or recovering aircraft from remote locations, we handle every detail with precision. Our team coordinates with technical managers, regulators, and lessors to ensure each ferry flight is safe, compliant, and on schedule, even when plans shift across time zones.
When an aircraft changes hands between lessees, Six West manages the flight operations required to reposition it. We work closely with the lessor’s technical team to ensure all inspections, documentation, and regulatory requirements are met for a smooth and timely lease transition.

Aircraft ferry services involve the relocation of aircraft from one point to another for operational needs. This could be moving an aircraft between lessees during a lease transition, delivering a new aircraft to an operator, or repositioning a grounded asset after an airline downsizing. Ferry flights are also used for maintenance positioning, storage, or sale preparation—each case requiring precise coordination and expertise.
