Confidence at Every Stage of the Transaction

Acquiring or delivering an aircraft requires meticulous planning, collaboration, and technical assurance. Six West supports lessors, airlines and buyers by managing the key flight operational elements of pre-purchase inspections and aircraft deliveries. From verifying airworthiness and documentation to coordinating ferry flights and liaising with manufacturers, our team ensures that each aircraft is accepted and delivered with accuracy and control. Whether repositioning a new jet from the factory or managing the final flight of a sale, Six West provides peace of mind that every detail is in order.

Aircraft Condition Assessment

Prior to purchase or lease, a detailed understanding of the aircraft’s condition is essential. Six West works with maintenance providers, CAMOs and MROs to support thorough pre-purchase inspections. This includes visual and structural assessments, borescope inspections, logbook reviews and validation of key systems. Our role is to coordinate the operational side of this process and ensure everything is flight-ready when the time comes.

Regulatory & Flight Operations Compliance

Each aircraft movement must meet strict operational requirements. Six West works with aviation authorities around the world to ensure all relevant documentation, permits and operational approvals are in place for ferry or delivery flights. From coordinating EASA or FAA permissions to arranging permits and route approvals, we handle the operational compliance required for smooth transition.

New Aircraft Acceptance & Handover

We support the final stages of new aircraft delivery by coordinating ferry flights and crew logistics, and by ensuring all required flight readiness tasks are completed. Our flight operations team manages the acceptance handover process with the manufacturer or outgoing operator and oversees the journey to the final destination.

Ferry & Flight Readiness Support

Once documentation and delivery schedules are confirmed, we complete any final technical checks and ensure the aircraft is prepared for repositioning. This includes route planning, performance validation, weight and balance reviews, and risk assessments. Our crews follow OEM demonstration profiles and work closely with both lessors and lessees to complete each delivery efficiently and safely.
