Frequently asked questions

1. What documents do I need when buying an aircraft at auction? You’ll generally need proof of identity and the details required for the transfer of ownership. Some aircraft may also require evidence of a licence or operational approvals. Our team will outline exactly what’s needed for each item, so you’re well-prepared before bidding.

This helps you manage collection safely and efficiently.
