Luxury retailer and real estate firm Engel & Völkers has announced a new division dedicated to chartering business aircraft and private jets.
Engel & Völkers Aviation is offering clients personally tailored charter flights around the world, with a portfolio ranging from small propeller aircraft through to large super jets. With access to a pool of around 4,000 planes on its own booking platform, clients are also being offered access to a worldwide charter fleet of private and business aircraft.
The firm’s new online aviation portal is also brokering business and private aircraft for long-term charter and through fractional ownership schemes. Moreover, the business division provides comprehensive consulting on legal and taxation issues, aircraft management, structured finance as well as risk management and insurance.
“Engel & Völkers clients are wealthy, with sophisticated demands and expectations. They lead luxury lifestyles and enjoy travelling – both for business and pleasure,” said founder and CEO Christian Völkers.
“We are seeing a growing need for this service amongst our real estate and yachting clients. This opens up significant opportunities for our company and means that we can now offer customers even more services from one single source.”
The website lists long-range large cabin jets for up to US $60 million, with short-range turboprop aircraft costing around $2 million and an asking price of at least $11.5 million for mid-size jets.
