Sell Your Aircraft in Canada

Professional representation. Qualified buyers. A process you can trust.

Selling an aircraft is one of the most significant financial transactions a private owner or corporation will undertake. It requires expertise, attention to detail, and professional representation equal to any high-value asset sale. Aircraft transactions also introduce regulatory complexity that most general advisors are not equipped to manage.

Raven Aircraft Sales specializes exclusively in aircraft sales. This is not a side offering. Our principal is a licensed pilot with over 20 years of aviation experience, an ATPL, and hands-on flight time across the aircraft types we represent. When we market your aircraft, we speak directly to a qualified aviation audience using language and positioning that resonates.

We work with private owners, corporations, commercial operators, and estates across Canada and North America. Every aircraft we represent is handled with integrity, confidentiality, and a clear focus on achieving the best possible outcome.

If you are considering selling your aircraft, or simply want to understand its value in today’s market, reach out for a no-obligation conversation. The process starts with a single call.

What to Expect When Selling Your Aircraft

How long does it take to sell an aircraft in Canada? +

What information do I need to provide? +
The form below captures everything required to begin, including owner details, airframe and engine information, maintenance history, avionics, and estimated value. If you do not have all details available, complete what you can and we will guide you through the rest.
