With a surge in demand for pre-owned aircraft Jet MS, an MRO based at Vilnius International airport in Lithuania and a family member of the Avia Solutions Group, has announced a new range of services to embrace this rapidly growing market.

In what has been described as a very active global pre-owned aircraft sales market, Jet MS is ready to perform pre-purchase inspections, a necessary step before the sale of any aircraft, in accordance with aircraft type maintenance regulations.

Directly in the wake of a turbulent year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shortage of newer-model business jets for sale is forcing an upward curve in second hand aircraft prices. With a rush towards private aircraft ownership, driven by lockdowns and grounded airlines, and the wish to avoid crowded airport spaces, pre-owned aircraft are increasing in age, meaning pre-purchase inspections are in greater demand than ever before.

The value and benefits assured by a pre-purchase inspection are vital components of any second hand aircraft sale. Jet MS is ready to provide all necessary checks required to ensure a satisfactory and successful sales transaction.

From document and aircraft record inspections, airframe reviews, functional airframe systems checks, avionics and electronics checks, and all exterior paint jobs to full interior technical and aesthetic reviews and upgrades, the Jet MS team has the experience and the expertise to ensure a timely turnaround. Either prior to or post sale, Jet MS can be trusted to enhance and upgrade the aircraft.

When an aircraft acquires a new owner, a strategy for future MRO checks, aircraft maintenance plans and interior upgrades, along with any other modifications, needs to be implemented; Jet MS says it is ideally placed within the international MRO market to provide all of the above services.

CEO Vytis Zalimas says: “The pandemic has brought many challenges to the aviation and aerospace industries, one of them being the demand for the quick sale of pre-owned business jets that offer real aircraft value to the new owner. Jet MS is perfectly placed from within the industry to offer pre-purchase inspections, upgrades and modifications, both before and after-sale, and to be there to guide the buyer, seller or broker with advice and solutions that come from many years of experience as a leading global MRO provider.”
