Avjet Global Sales

What Avjet Global Sales does

Avjet Global Sales is a privately held VVIP aircraft brokerage firm founded in 1980 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, with additional sales offices in Los Angeles and Dulles. The firm specializes in the sale, acquisition, and consulting of large cabin ultra-long-range business jets, with a portfolio spanning Boeing Business Jets (BBJ, BBJ2, BBJ MAX 8/9), Gulfstream (G450, G550, G650ER, G700), Bombardier (Global series, Learjet), Dassault Falcon, Airbus ACJ320, and select light jets such as the HondaJet Elite S. Avjet holds a four-decade strategic relationship with Boeing, including designation as launch customer for the BBJ MAX in 2014, and has delivered first-of-kind transactions including the first pre-owned Boeing 787-8 VIP and the first N-registered Gulfstream G700.

The firm's go-to-market is high-touch enterprise field sales, operating through a small team of senior professionals and global representatives across the Americas, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa. Core services include aircraft brokerage (transaction fees on successful closings), off-market acquisition sourcing, and advisory consulting. Customers consist of ultra-high-net-worth individuals, Fortune 500 corporate flight departments, and heads of state/government entities, with transaction values ranging from light jets to widebody VIP aircraft. Marketing is primarily content-driven via the company blog and direct consultation requests, with no disclosed digital advertising. Pricing is custom and quote-based, reflecting the bespoke nature of each transaction.

Avjet has completed over 500 transactions historically with cumulative aircraft sales value exceeding $10 billion. The company is family-owned and operated by the Foulkrod family under Chairman and CEO Marc J. Foulkrod, with no external investors, private equity ownership, or parent company identified. No AI/ML technology, APIs, or proprietary software platforms are disclosed; competitive advantage derives from the Boeing relationship, global representative network, and institutional knowledge built over four decades in the VVIP segment.

Direct peers

• OGARAJETS: OGARAJETS is a long-standing direct competitor in the large-cabin, ultra-long-range business aircraft brokerage and acquisition space, serving the same UHNW and corporate flight department buyer-seller market with a comparable white-glove, transaction-fee model.
• Dallas Jet International: Dallas Jet International is a direct competitor specializing in pre-owned large-cabin and ultra-long-range aircraft brokerage, with an overlapping OEM mix (Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Boeing) and similar relationship-driven sales approach to UHNW and corporate clients.
• Par Avion Ltd. Par Avion is a well-known aircraft brokerage and acquisition firm competing directly in the VVIP and large-cabin jet segment, with a similar full-service buyer/seller representation model and global reach comparable to Avjet.

Broad incumbents

• Jet Aviation: Jet Aviation (a General Dynamics company) is a broad incumbent in business aviation services, including aircraft sales, management, and charter; while much larger and more diversified, its aircraft sales division directly competes with Avjet in the VVIP acquisition and brokerage space.
• Duncan Aviation: Duncan Aviation is a broad business aviation services company offering aircraft sales, brokerage, MRO, and completions; its aircraft sales and acquisition services directly compete with Avjet in the large-cabin and ultra-long-range market, especially in North America.
• Gulfstream Aerospace: Gulfstream is an OEM that both supplies and competes with Avjet in the large-cabin ultra-long-range segment (G450, G550, G650ER, G700); while primarily a manufacturer, its in-house sales organization overlaps with broker-led transactions on new aircraft.
• Boeing Business Jets (BBJ): Boeing Business Jets is the OEM division whose aircraft (BBJ, BBJ2, BBJ MAX 8/9) anchor Avjet's franchise; Boeing's direct sales force and launch-customer relationship with Avjet means the two operate as both partners and adjacent sales channels within the same VVIP market.
• Bombardier: Bombardier is an OEM of Global and Challenger business jets that Avjet actively brokers; its direct-pre-owned inventory arm (Bombardier Pre-Owned) competes with Avjet when facilitating transactions of its own aircraft.

Regional players

• Meridian (Meridian Aviation): Meridian is a Teterboro-based full-service business aviation company with an aircraft sales and acquisitions division that competes with Avjet in the U.S. ultra-long-range market, though with a slightly broader mix and a more charter-adjacent service portfolio.
