Seeks To Simplify Buying/Selling Aircraft Regardless Of What
You Fly/Buy
Columbia Aircraft tells
ANN that selling an aircraft to make room in the hangar for a new
one can be a challenging odyssey. Aircraft owners need to determine
where to locate a broker that has the national resources to sell
the aircraft for top dollar, how to select and utilize the most
effective advertising, where to access free, no-obligation finance
pre-qualification, when to consult aviation tax experts and how to
possibly obtain insurance quotes with higher liability limits.
Columbia Aircraft has created a tool to answer these questions and
assist pilots and aircraft owners off all brands at www.aircraftbuyersassistance.com,
a new Web site designed to make buying, selling and living with
personal aircraft easier.
“There are many excellent resources available to anyone
buying and selling aircraft, but we found that it was often
challenging for aircraft owners to coordinate the effort required
to quickly sell an aircraft so that they could get on with the fun
of buying a new one,” said Columbia Aircraft Vice President
of Marketing and Sales Randy S. Bolinger (pictured below during an
ANN Aero-Cast, last fall).
“We’ve simply used our contacts and industry
experience to collaborate with top shelf resources who we trust to
treat customers well, are recognized for their exceptional customer
service and provide a smooth, no-hassle process from start to
finish.”
Aircraft Buyers Assistance, originally exclusively available to
Columbia owners, has been expanded and is now available to every
aircraft owner or first-time buyer regardless of brand. Columbia
Aircraft Finance can finance new and pre-owned aircraft of any
brand and even Columbia Aircraft Owners Insurance can help
qualified buyers get the higher liability limits they may need. The
all-encompassing Aircraft Buyers Assistance program logically
guides the consumer through the process by providing access to
aviation experts in various disciplines who will make the process
seamless.
As an added bonus, Aircraft Buyers Assistance provides
additional assistance and resources to anyone considering the
purchase of a new Columbia. Aircraft owners who may be interested
in a new Columbia after selling their current aircraft can receive
a free Sales Kit after completing a Columbia demo flight. The free
kit (shown below) includes FOR SALE prop banners, static window
clings, aircraft cleaning supplies and pre-paid advertising in
Trade-A-Plane.

Key resources identified in Aircraft Buyers Assistance
include:
- Columbia Resale – Specializing in the resale of premium,
pre-owned Columbia aircraft.
- Alaris Aviation – Specializing in the resale of all
brands of pre-owned aircraft.
- Columbia Aircraft Finance – Providing free, no obligation
loan pre-qualification for buyers of any type of aircraft.
- Columbia Aircraft Owners Insurance – Providing preferred
rate quotes and higher liability limits to qualified new Columbia
purchasers. Columbia Aircraft Owners
- Insurance will also underwrite pilots of other aircraft
types.
- Advocate Tax Consulting – Providing expert aviation
taxation consultation for all aircraft buyers.
“We’re simply trying to help aircraft owners enjoy
the two best days of their lives – the day they sell their
current aircraft and the day they buy a new one – maybe even
a Columbia 350 or 400,” Bolinger said.
