Business aviation services provider Elliott Aviation is offering NBAA-BACE attendees a chance to win a free pre-purchase aircraft evaluation. Show attendees can register for the giveaway at the Elliott Aviation booth, where representatives are available to discuss the company’s evaluation process and MRO offerings, including avionics upgrades, paint jobs, and interior refurbishments.
The Moline, Illinois-based company is using the convention to highlight its accelerated pre-purchase evaluation program, which it said gives aircraft buyers a comprehensive understanding of an aircraft’s condition in as few as five days—a process that otherwise typically takes several weeks.&nbsp;
“Time matters during an aircraft acquisition, but so does confidence,” said Megan Welch, the v-p of sales, paint, interior, and maintenance at Elliott Aviation. “Our pre-purchase evaluation process helps buyers get the answers they need without sacrificing the thoroughness and attention to detail required to make a smart investment decision.”&nbsp;
According to Elliott Aviation, the accelerated pre-purchase evaluation program aims to preserve deal momentum during aircraft transactions, where lengthy evaluation timelines can slow closings and introduce uncertainties among buyers. The company said the giveaway is intended to introduce more aircraft buyers, owners, and operators to its evaluation capability and how it helps to reduce risk during aircraft transactions.
