A new business aircraft brokerage, Vertis Aviation Aircraft Trading, has been formed in Dubai by industry veterans Mark Abbott, Conan McGale, and Jeffrey Emmenis. The decision to launch the company was inspired by an increasing number of requests for aircraft transaction support from charter customers of sister company Vertis Aviation.

The company is focused on delivering “dependable, data-driven advice to existing and new buyers and sellers from pre- to post-transaction,” said Abbott, who serves as CEO. “In addition to supporting trading, we can help connect customers with reputable legal, financial, and fiscal professionals and advise on aircraft management, refurbishment, or maintenance options.”

Abbott splits his time between the Bahamas and Dubai, McGale is based in the UK, and Emmenis shares his time between Switzerland and Dubai. Vertis said the partners located themselves in key territories to support each market’s needs.
