Aircraft for Sale

Our Inventory

What you'll find in our aircraft for sale listing

Hand-selected & Verified

Every aircraft we hold is hand-selected, inspected, and certified, so what you read in a listing matches the real condition of the aircraft. We keep the range deliberately small. For a serious buyer, a few aircraft vetted properly are worth more than hundreds you'd have to verify yourself.

Current Inventory at Palomar

Our aircraft inventory currently centers on well-maintained airplanes based at Palomar Airport in Carlsbad, California. Every aircraft for sale on this page carries its full specifications: year, registration, serial number, total time, engine hours, avionics, interior and paint history, home base, and asking price.

Accurate Listings, Real Photos

Listings show real photos of the specific aircraft, not stock imagery used to pad out generic aircraft listings. When an aircraft is marked available, it's genuinely available and ready for inspection.

The full transaction under one roof

Why buyers work with Valiair

Buying a used aircraft is mostly a trust problem. An airframe can look flawless and still hide a logbook gap, an open lien, or a registration issue that only surfaces after the money has moved. Valiair's job is to close those gaps before you commit.

Inspection and Certification

Every used aircraft is thoroughly tested, analyzed, and certified, and we coordinate an independent pre-purchase inspection so you buy on documented facts rather than first impressions.

Escrow and Title

Funds and documents move through proper aircraft title and escrow, with a title search to confirm a clean ownership chain before closing.

FAA Registration and Trusts

Non-US buyers can own and register a US aircraft through a Valiair aircraft trust, with our team acting as your FAA US agent for service so the registration stays valid.

Import, Export, and Customs

Cross-border deliveries are handled end to end, including customs clearance.

People Where It Matters

Offices in Casper, Wyoming (headquarters), Carlsbad, California (Palomar Airport), Edmond, Oklahoma (next to the FAA Aircraft Registry), and Riverside, California.

This is the full transaction under one roof, which is why international buyers and first-time owners tend to stay with us from the first inquiry through to a registered, delivered aircraft. Every aircraft for sale we publish has already been through this process, so you start from a position of knowledge.

Where can I buy a private aircraft?

You can buy a private aircraft directly from Valiair's curated inventory of aircraft for sale, or have our acquisition team source one for you. Every aircraft we sell is inspected and certified, and each transaction is backed by escrow, title, and FAA registration support. Browse the listings above or contact a broker to get started.

How do I buy an aircraft through Valiair?

Tell us which aircraft or category you're interested in. We share full specifications and arrange a viewing or a pre-purchase inspection. Once you're satisfied, funds and documents move through escrow, we complete the title search and FAA registration, and we coordinate delivery or ferry. You deal with one point of contact from start to finish.

How long does an aircraft sale take?

A straightforward piston transaction can close within a few weeks once the inspection and financing are in place. More complex deals, especially cross-border purchases that involve import, export, or customs, take longer. We give you a realistic timeline for your specific aircraft before you commit to anything.

How much does an aircraft pre-purchase inspection cost?

It depends on the aircraft and the depth of the inspection. A piston single costs far less to inspect than a turboprop or a jet, and the scope can range from a records review to a full teardown-level check. We recommend an appropriate level for the aircraft you're considering and connect you with qualified inspectors.

What does an aircraft broker do?

An aircraft broker represents you through the purchase or sale of an aircraft. That means sourcing or marketing the aircraft, verifying its condition and history, negotiating terms, and managing inspection, escrow, title, and registration. A good broker lowers your risk and handles the parts of a deal that are easiest to get wrong.

Can a non-US citizen own and register a US aircraft?

Yes. Non-US citizens and foreign companies can own and register a US aircraft through an FAA-compliant aircraft trust. Valiair establishes the trust and acts as your US agent for service, which keeps the registration valid. This structure is one of the main reasons international buyers choose to purchase through us.

Can I sell or consign my aircraft through Valiair?

Yes. We value, list, and market aircraft for owners, vet incoming buyers, and run the sale through the same inspection, escrow, and title process we use on the buy side. Get in touch to discuss valuation and consignment terms.
