How SkyMarket Aviation Works

Whether you're buying or selling, we've made the process straightforward, transparent, and powered by AI.

For Buyers

Finding Your Aircraft

STEP 1

Search with AI

Tell our AI copilot what you're looking for in plain English — "midsize jet under $10M with less than 3,000 hours" — and get instant, intelligent results. No more keyword guessing or wading through irrelevant listings.

STEP 2

Compare & Analyze

Put up to 3 aircraft side-by-side to compare specs, pricing, and value. Every listing includes an AI-powered market valuation so you know if the asking price is fair before you make contact.

STEP 3

Verify (Optional)

Verification is optional — it never gates browsing or contacting sellers. Complete any of five paths (identity via Stripe, pilot certification, funds tier, lender pre-qualification, or your own pre-qualification letter) to raise your Trust Score. A higher score moves your inquiries up in seller inboxes, from Filtered to Standard to Priority.

STEP 4

Connect & Close

Message sellers directly through our secure platform. Schedule viewings, request maintenance records, negotiate terms — all in one place. When you're ready to buy, work with the seller to close the deal.

For Sellers

Listing Your Aircraft

STEP 1

Choose Your Plan

Select the listing plan that fits your needs — Standard ($199/mo) for individual sellers, Featured ($399/mo) for priority placement and visibility, or Dealer ($1,999/mo) for unlimited listings with full analytics and lead management.

STEP 2

Create Your Listing

Walk through our guided 5-step wizard. Enter your aircraft details and specs, upload photos, and let our AI generate a professional description for you. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.

STEP 3

AI Quality Check

Our AI automatically reviews your listing for completeness, accuracy, and quality. Listings that pass go live immediately. Flagged listings get a quick manual review — usually within hours, not days.

STEP 4

Manage & Sell

Track views, inquiries, and analytics from your seller dashboard. Respond to buyer messages, update your listing, and manage everything from one place. When the deal closes, mark it sold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SkyMarket Aviation a broker or dealer?

No. SkyMarket Aviation is a marketplace platform that connects buyers and sellers. We do not buy, sell, or broker aircraft. All transactions are between the buyer and seller directly.

How does the AI valuation work?

Our AI analyzes comparable sales data, market trends, aircraft specifications, hours, and condition to estimate a fair market value range. It's a tool for reference — not an appraisal.

How long does it take for a listing to go live?

Listings that pass our AI quality check go live immediately after submission. Flagged listings are reviewed manually, typically within a few hours during business days.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes. You can cancel anytime through your account settings or the Stripe customer portal. Your listings will remain active through the end of your billing period.

Do you charge transaction fees?

Currently, no. We only charge subscription fees for listing. There are no commissions or transaction fees on closed deals.

What does buyer verification involve?

Verification is optional — none of it gates browsing or contacting sellers. Complete any combination of five paths (identity via Stripe, pilot certification through the FAA registry, funds tier via Stripe Financial Connections, lender pre-qualification, or bringing your own pre-qualification letter) to raise your Trust Score. A higher score moves your inquiries from Filtered to Standard to Priority in seller inboxes. We store outcomes only — no documents, SSNs, or bank details.
