The general process of buying a private jet.

First, determine the purchase purpose.

The use is different, and the purchase mode is different. For short-distance business trips and navigation operations, you can consider buying helicopters. For long-distance business travel, you can consider buying a business jet. Therefore, before purchasing a machine, customers must first make clear the main purpose of purchasing a machine, which determines the purchasing direction and capital budget.

Business jets are divided into large, medium and small according to the distance of voyage and the size of cabin; According to the type of engine, it can be divided into jet and turboprop aircraft. With the help of computer and communication technology, business jet has become a real air office. Telephone, fax, e-mail and video are all available and ready to go.

Second, determine the choice of aircraft manufacturer and model.

Determine the aircraft manufacturing plant and target model according to the purpose and capital budget.

In the case of lack of experience in purchasing and using business jets, it is recommended that domestic customers buy aircraft from world-renowned professional manufacturers. These manufacturers have a longer history and a better after-sales service network, which can avoid the worries of enterprises using business jets.

Third, conduct business negotiations with agents or manufacturers.

After the model is clear, we will negotiate with the agent or manufacturer to determine the basic price, optional configuration, spare materials, delivery date, after-sales service and other details.

In fact, business jets can be used as an investment means to obtain tax incentives and preserve assets. According to the information provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers China Company, the book value of a new small aircraft with a weight less than 65,438+000 tons purchased by China enterprises will be zero after 8 years according to the straight-line depreciation method. Take a Hawk 850XP aircraft as an example, it can save 5.6 million yuan in income tax for profit-making companies every year (income tax 33%* aircraft price /8 years).

As the aircraft is a dollar-denominated product, its value is not affected by the regional economy. At present, the general calculation of aircraft residual value in the world is generally 70% of the purchase price (after 8 years of use). A more conservative estimate is: 50%, that is, eight years later, the book value of the aircraft is zero, but the market price is at least half of the purchase price.

Four, sign the aircraft purchase contract, import and export agency agreement and pay the deposit.

On the premise of mutual benefit and mutual satisfaction, after the import agent is determined, the buyer, the seller and the agent sign a tripartite purchase contract, and the buyer pays the purchase deposit.

The seller's quotation is generally ex-factory price, including basic price and optional configuration price. Customers should also reserve the following import fees: VAT 65438+ 07% of the total aircraft price, customs duties, import agency fees, transportation fees (air or flight), insurance fees, etc.

The import agent will assist customers in handling foreign exchange adjustment, payment, aircraft import and other procedures.

6. Submit the purchase application to scaa.

The customer fills in the corresponding application form, attaches a copy of the aircraft purchase contract, and submits the purchase application to SCA. Import approval can be applied by the aircraft hosting company or by some import agents.

Required documents: application letter (introduced by the buyer), copy of purchase contract and copy of custody agreement.

Seven, the customer sent personnel to participate in pilot training and crew training.

Aircraft manufacturers generally provide customers with pilot transformation training and crew training.

After the training, the crew and pilots can participate in the subsequent aircraft receiving work. The specific time of training is subject to the actual arrangement of the factory.

Eight. Verify flight and reception

After the plane is completed, the customer carries out verification flight and receiving work in the factory. This work can be completed by flight and maintenance personnel who participated in the training in the early stage.

At the same time of acceptance, the customer should inform the import agent to make preparations for import customs clearance.

After customs clearance, the plane arrived at the destination for reassembly and test flight.

After the aircraft purchased by the customer arrives in China, the manufacturer cancels the nationality registration in the country of origin. Customers apply to scaa for nationality registration certificate, airworthiness certificate and radio license. This work can also be done by the aircraft hosting company.

14. Warranty, air material supply and after-sales service

According to the service life and flight hours, the aircraft has a certain warranty period.

Hawker Beechcraft's fuselage and avionics usually have a five-year warranty.

Hawker Beechcraft has professional technicians in China, providing technical services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
