Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc. (KFXE)

Premier Aircraft Sales, Inc. is a general aviation aircraft dealer headquartered at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) in Florida. It also operates sales and service centers at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (KFTW) in Texas and Norwood Memorial Airport (KOWD) in Massachusetts.

The company is an authorized Diamond Aircraft dealer selling new and pre-owned models including the DA20, DA40, DA42, DA50 RG and DA62. It also sells and brokers pre-owned Piper, Beechcraft, Cessna, Mooney and other piston and turbine aircraft, and buys aircraft outright.

Beyond sales, it lists FAA-approved repair stations for maintenance, avionics and overhauls, financing and insurance assistance, a flight school financing programme, and transition and pilot training.

According to a Diamond Aircraft announcement from August 2020, Premier was founded in 2003, has worked with Diamond since then, and had sold more than 1,800 aircraft including 597 Diamonds by that date. Diamond named it exclusive dealer for 19 U.S. states plus Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and later added a Caribbean territory. Fred Ahles was identified as founder.

Its focus is light piston and turboprop aircraft for owner-pilots and flight schools rather than business jets or charter.
