Long-established US business aircraft broker for buyers and sellers
Welsch Aviation, Inc. is an aircraft brokerage that traces its origins to 1949, when James C. Welsch Sr. founded the firm after selling aircraft for manufacturers including Cessna. It started at the Marine Air Terminal at New York's LaGuardia Airport. Its website now lists offices in the Washington, D.C. area, Texas, Georgia and New York.
The firm works only as a broker. It states that it does not own, operate or hold an inventory of aircraft, so it acts on behalf of a buyer or seller rather than trading its own stock. It does not offer charter flights.
On the sell side, Welsch markets aircraft worldwide, with records review, photography, virtual tours, brochures, advertising and help with sale documents. On the buy side, it represents purchasers, assesses current market values for a target make and model, and helps shortlist aircraft on pedigree, reliability, value and safety.
Transactions shown on its site range from the Cessna Caravan turboprop to the Boeing Business Jet, with mid-size and large-cabin types such as Citations, Hawkers, Challengers and Gulfstreams in between. Aircraft listings under the company name also appear on independent marketplaces.
For owners and buyers, the main points of comparison are its long history in brokerage and its no-inventory model.
