Leveraging its success in the light jet market, aircraft broker JetAviva is expanding its preowned aircraft sales and acquisitions activity into the large-cabin and ultra-long-range segments.
To spearhead the strategic expansion, the U.S.-based company has assembled a dedicated large-cabin department led by Ben Dow, JetAviva’s senior managing director and Dassault Falcon specialist, alongside industry veteran Jim Lewis, who brings more than three decades of Gulfstream expertise to the team. Combined, the pair has handled hundreds of transactions involving Gulfstream, Bombardier, and Dassault Falcon aircraft.
“The demand from our clients for large-cabin aircraft solutions has never been stronger,” JetAviva CEO Emily Deaton stated. JetAviva indicated it is positioning itself to capture a larger share of this segment while maintaining its established presence in the light jet market.
Supporting the new department are market research specialists Carter Tos and Sean O’Brien, who will provide market analysis and data-driven insights for the large-cabin segment. The company, which holds International Aircraft Dealers Association accreditation, and reported this week that half of its transactions in 2024 came from repeat customers, sees this expertise as crucial in navigating transactions within the large-cabin market.
Lewis, who recently joined JetAviva, noted that the expansion presents “an exciting opportunity to help drive the growth of a powerful and respected brand while leveraging my experience to deliver exceptional results for our customers.”
