About Certified Jets
Aviation people, not intermediaries
A private aviation company in business since 2019, with more than sixty aircraft transactions completed and advisors in every region we serve.
The company
What you are dealing with, stated plainly rather than implied.
Structure
Certified Jets is a United States company, part of Jets Capital. The contracting entity is identified in every agreement.
Where our people are
Advisors work across the United States, Canada, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Europe, and Africa. Enquiries are handled by someone who works that market, not routed to a central desk.
How flights are operated
We arrange aircraft; certificated operators fly them. Private operations run under Part 91 or the equivalent in the aircraft’s state of registry, commercial flights under Part 135 or the applicable international equivalent. We work through partner AOC holders rather than holding the certificate ourselves, and the operator of record is named before you commit.
Track record
More than sixty aircraft transactions since 2019, across sales, acquisitions, and lease arrangements. Client names and transaction details are not published; ask an advisor and we will discuss them privately.
Four disciplines
Each run by people who work that side of the business daily.

How we work
The commitments that decide whether a client comes back.
We check before we offer
We are not an auditing body and hold no safety accreditation. What we do is check the carrier before an aircraft is put in front of a client: we confirm its operating certificate and review its safety record, and in some cases we also check crew licences. We work mainly with operators we have approved over years of working with them. These checks are how we choose what to offer you; they are not a safety rating or a guarantee of safety.
Who we act for
Depending on the deal, we may act for the buyer, the seller, or both.
We say when the answer is no
If a smaller aircraft will do, if a purchase does not fit the mission, or if we are not the right manager for your aircraft, we say so early. There is nothing in a bad fit for either of us.
Discretion is structural
Client details, itineraries, and transactions are confidential. A significant share of what we handle is off market precisely because owners and buyers require that it stays quiet.
The people you will deal with
Every enquiry reaches an advisor who works your market. No switchboard, no ticket queue.
