What AeroSolutions Group does

AeroSolutions Group, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned aircraft brokerage firm headquartered at Washington Manassas Airport (KHEF) in Manassas, Virginia. Founded in 1999 by brothers Bolling and James DeSouza following a decade of prior brokerage experience that began in 1993, the firm operates today as a multi-generational family business led by Christopher DeSouza (Managing Partner), Linh DeSouza (Partner), and Matthew DeSouza (Sales Executive), with fewer than 10 total employees. Its core services are seller-side sales representation and buyer-side acquisition advisory spanning piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft from manufacturers including Beechcraft, Cessna, Cirrus, Hawker, Gulfstream, Learjet, Bombardier, and Pilatus. The firm is differentiated by aviation-specific credentials (multiple instrument-rated pilots on staff), a 14,000-square-foot on-airport corporate hangar, and a stated track record of more than 1,000 completed transactions.

The business model is transaction-fee based: revenue is earned as commissions on each successful buy- or sell-side engagement, with deal economics tied to aircraft value (active listings range from approximately $249,000 to $4,750,000) and completion of due diligence, contract negotiation, and closing. Distribution is direct via the firm's own website listings, top-of-funnel educational content (the Private Aviation Guide), interactive web calculators (an Aircraft Recommendation Tool and an Aviation Cost Comparison Tool), and a referral/repeat-client network. Named clients include corporate operators and HNW individuals such as The Sporn Company, Laurel Grocery Company, and Sanjenis Aircraft Services. The platform has no disclosed API, developer access, or AI/ML capabilities. Beyond traditional brokerage, the firm lists MRO and consulting on its short-description and, in December 2025, executed a Letter of Intent with Eve Air Mobility and Bluenest by Globalvia to sell up to 50 eVTOL aircraft and associated TechCare services into Costa Rica's Advanced Air Mobility ecosystem.

• Leading Edge Aviation Brokers: Aircraft brokerage firm that represents buyers and sellers of turbine and piston aircraft. Comparable in commission-based model and focus on owner-operator customers.
• Elliott Jets: Mid-size U.S. aircraft brokerage focused on pre-owned business jets and turboprops. Direct peer in the same niche brokerage segment, competing for similar buyers and sellers.
• Guardian Jet: Aircraft brokerage and acquisition advisory firm serving buyers and sellers of business jets. Similar service mix (sales, acquisition, market analysis) and target customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Global Jet Capital: Aircraft financing and leasing provider that frequently co-lends on transactions that brokerages like AeroSolutions arrange. Comparable customer base (HNW and corporate aircraft buyers) but different core offering (capital vs. advisory).
• Aircraft Bluebook: Industry-standard valuation and marketplace platform for used aircraft. Adjacent incumbent that influences pricing benchmarks and listing visibility for brokerages like AeroSolutions.
• JETNET: Aviation market intelligence and data platform that also connects buyers and sellers of aircraft. Broader incumbent in the same ecosystem; AeroSolutions competes for the same transactions with a more relationship-driven approach.
