Case Studies
Real results and first-hand experiences from aviation businesses using The Aviation Auction.
Closing value achieved for TUI’s first package placed with The Aviation Auction.
A stronger route to market for surplus packages
TUI’s route to market for surplus packages had always been to send a listing to several potential buyers and accept the best offer. The first package placed for auction had a previous offer from a known buyer to TUI of $40,000.
We advised that the reserve for the package should be at least $150k and that TUI should proceed to auction. The same potential buyer then offered $80,000 and TUI was tempted to accept. We advised again to proceed to auction and for the buyer offering $80k to register and bid. The result was the auction closed at $250k with a buyer that had been verified prior to auction but was previously unknown to TUI.
TUI have now sold packages with The Aviation Auction for over 4 years,

A first-hand account of a professionally managed bulk inventory sale.
As VP of Assets for Prime Air – A HEICO Company, I am often looking for vehicles to move large amounts of aging inventory in bulk. I came across The Aviation Auction and decided to approach Tony to see what they could do. I have to say I was extremely pleased with the way the sale of our inventory was handled, from listing and marketing it, right through to the sale process and collection from the customer. I would have no hesitation in using The Aviation Auction again should I have another bulk inventory sale.
