CHARTER
Two bases.
The whole world.
PRIVATE JETS · AIRLINERS · CARGO
ICCJET · SINCE 2012
Early eVTOL delivery slots are rarely public.
We know where to find them.
Since 2012 we have built a network of more than 30 000 contacts across the aviation industry: airlines, aircraft owners, operators, MRO facilities, lessors and financiers.
Years of partnerships and completed deals give our clients access to on-market aircraft and to off-market aircraft, whose owners prefer a quiet sale without a public advert.
Buying, selling, leasing or chartering an eVTOL or a heavy-lift drone? Tell us the mission, budget and timeline. We come back with real aircraft, not brochures.
