PGA Aviation: Transactional FAQs

We bring many years of OEM, airline, leasing, and legal experience to support aircraft asset-based cross-border transactions, with particular depth in Greater China.

PGA is focused on the Greater China market and works closely with airlines and leasing companies in the region. In China-linked transactions, timing and process can be driven by government-directed procedures, including prescribed steps for disposing of state-owned assets through government-authorized trading and bidding platforms. A practical approach is to map the closing path early—deliverables, responsibilities, and approval sequencing—so the schedule reflects how the system operates. That helps reduce late-stage surprises and protects value when deadlines are tight. For additional context, see PGA Perceptions on our Documents page.
PGA is an aircraft re-marketing firm focused on aircraft asset-based cross-border transactions. We work with airlines, leasing companies, aircraft investors, private equity firms, parts-out companies, and other market participants. The scope of work varies by mandate, but it typically depends on clear records, realistic timing, and counterparties that can actually close. Our site includes examples of procurement-related projects and used aircraft transactions, including sale and lease novations. If you want a quick picture of the types of mandates we support, review our Services and Recent Transactions pages.
Cross-border aircraft deals carry predictable risk categories: title and ownership chain, records quality, export and import requirements, counterparty performance risk, and schedule risk. PGA's team background includes experience with OEMs, airlines, leasing companies, and large New York law firms, which helps when documentation and contracting details matter. The goal is to identify issues early and align diligence, documentation, and closing steps to the way the transaction must actually run. In China-linked deals, government approval timing can be a gating item, so a realistic timeline is part of risk management. For more detail on our focus and strategy, see About Us and Services.
No. PGA supports both multi-aircraft programs and single-asset mandates. Single-asset deals can be especially timing-sensitive, so clarity around records, technical status, and a credible buyer pool matters. Depending on the assignment, support can include market outreach, counterparty qualification, and closing coordination. The objective is straightforward: protect value and reduce avoidable slippage. If you have one asset with a clear objective and timeline, we can scope support accordingly.
No. PGA can support both buy-side and sell-side mandates. On the buy side, the focus is typically on asset selection, diligence readiness, and a clean path to delivery. On the sell side, the focus is positioning, qualified outreach, and managing execution through closing. In either case, the work is driven by the asset, the timeline, and the counterparties involved. See our Services page for the range of support.
Beyond remarketing, PGA's Services include appraisal, consulting, technical services, and asset management. In the appraisal and related areas, PGA works with its partner company, Morten Beyer & Agnew, in the Greater China market. That can help connect valuation, technical reality, and market context when making timing or disposition decisions. For China-linked policy context, our PGA Perceptions reports can be a useful starting point. See Services for details.
Our focus is aircraft asset-based transactions, often involving mid-life and end-of-life commercial aircraft and engines where timing and execution drive outcomes. The Greater China focus means we pay close attention to approval mechanics and process realities that can affect importation, phaseout, and remarketing. Depending on the mandate, an exit path might be continued operation, lease novation, sale, or part-out. The right path depends on the asset's condition, records, and the buyer universe. The goal is to match the asset to the most realistic liquidity path.
Valuation and diligence are typically built from a mix of records review, technical input, and market context. PGA's Services include appraisal and technical support, and in these areas PGA works with its partner company, Morten Beyer & Agnew, in the Greater China market. The goal is to ensure decisions are based on decision-grade inputs rather than generic assumptions. Strong records and a clear technical story usually translate into better liquidity and pricing. We can help align the technical facts with the commercial path to close.
PGA works with OEMs, airlines, leasing companies, aircraft investors, private equity firms, parts-out companies, and related stakeholders. That mix matters because different counterparties price risk differently—operators focus on fleet fit, lessors focus on lease and residual, and teardown buyers focus on material value. Understanding who the natural buyer is helps shorten cycle time and improves closing probability. It also keeps marketing efforts focused on counterparties that can actually execute. For examples of the types of counterparties and deals, see our Recent Transactions page.
