Boutsen Aviation ihas announced that before the end of August, the company successfully closed the sale of a 2010 Gulfstream G550, marking the 19th Gulfstream transaction to date. According to sales broker Timothée Marcie, “the G550 market has been incredibly active for the past few months, and we are proud to be at its forefront.”

The momentum does not stop there. Currently the company has two additional G550s undergoing pre-purchase inspection. “Gulfstream continues to be a very popular manufacturer for secondhand transactions,” remarks founder and chairman Thierry Boutsen. “In 2016 we closed four sales, two GVs and two G550s, and these additional three show us that the interest and purchasing potential is still very high.” It was not only Gulfstream birds that left the Boutsen Aviation nest this month; additionally, the company has just delivered a Falcon 7X in the first week of September.

With the recent amplification in deliveries, the company has just reached the milestone of its 340th sale, making for appropriate timing as this year marks its 20th anniversary. “We don’t slow down,” says Mr. Trinquet. “You have to be quick, agile, and constantly aware in order to follow and capitalize on the trends of the market. Our team dedicates its full effort to finding the best opportunities for our clients, and this is one of the reasons we have continued to prosper over the past twenty years.”

As the new season started, so began an extensive activity of traveling and events for the Boutsen team. Last week, executive vice-president Mathieu Pezin flew to Moscow to attend JetExpo, and next month, Timothée Marcie will travel to Las Vegas for the annual NBAA event.

Closer to home, the Monaco Yacht Show is approaching and the team is busy preparing for the influx of luxury visitors that will pour into the principality from September 27-30. As the offices are located a few steps away from Port Hercule, clients are invited to schedule an appointment to discuss their aviation project with the Boutsen team. “There is no better complimentary industry to yachting than private aviation,” says Mr. Boutsen, who has already scheduled several events and meetings for the week of the show. “Many of the people coming to Monaco for the Yacht Show will also likely be in the market for a private jet, or looking for help to sell their existing one.
