JET Asia-Pacific, Spring 2013 - Industry Insider
Interview by Anthony Lam
Could you briefly introduce Jetcraft’s history and your role in the company?
Jetcraft was founded 51 years ago by my partner, Bucky Oliver. He’s based in Raleigh, North Carolina. At that time he was a pilot, and he was passionate about aviation. He was from a big family in property development, and his friends who wanted to buy aircraft would ask him for advice on what to buy, so that led to him starting Jetcraft as an aviation brokerage firm. Then he set up a maintenance center, and even became the Cessna distributor in North Carolina at one time.
When I joined Jetcraft in June 2008, I had been the head of marketing at Bombardier before that. I got to know Jetcraft from my days at Bombardier as we were selling them aircraft. When I left, Bucky approached me and asked me to run his company. I said I didn’t want to run it, but I would be interested in buying it. S...

April 2013; Xclusive – When it comes to symbols of status, luxury cars, yachts and houses no longer cut the mustard. Now, the ultimate signature of wealth and status is owning a private jet. In the famous words of Oprah Winfrey, the highest paid woman in television, “It’s great to have a private jet. Anyone that tells you that having your own private jet isn’t great is lying to you.” Indeed. However, purchasing a jet, which can range between $1 million to $600 million, is not an easy business, so it is important to develop a partnership with a broker, one who has integrity, experience in dealing with the complexities of aircraft transactions, and the financial capability to handle virtually any deal. This is where Jetcraft comes in. In business for over 50 years, Jetcraft now has a global presence. It’s this presence that gives their clients a birds-eye view of the market, based on the carefully cultivated contact network that they have estab...

Jetcraft anticipates the growth of the pre-owned market in Asia
April 2013; Executive & VIP Aviation International - Jetcraft has been in the new and pre-owned jet brokering business for some 50 years. Having built up a solid base in the US, with customers in Europe and Latin America and now with business starting to come in from Asia, Jetcraft CEO Chad Anderson is laying plans to capitalise on the inevitable appearance of a pre-owned market in Asia. “Few would dispute that Asia is one of the hottest markets for sales of new long-range/large cabin business aircraft. Our sales figures for 2011 and 2012 more than bear this out. We’ve been selling new and pre-owned into Asia for some time now and while the vast majority of orders are for new jets, about 10% to 20% of what we sell is good pre-owned,” he says.
The major reason driving the pre-owned market at present in Indonesia and Asia generally is not that high net worth individuals have ...
