New Aircraft Advisory. No Guesswork.
We don’t answer to manufacturers, we just advise you. Our team of private aviation advisors have negotiated with every major OEM. We know how to structure the deal, configure the spec, and time the delivery so your aircraft performs—financially, operationally, and on the tarmac.
Aircraft Advisory Means More Than Picking From a Brochure
It’s a strategic service for buyers who want to align their investment with their mission, tax goals, and future plans. At 5x5, we manage every detail—from OEM negotiation to spec planning and entry-into-service—so your aircraft works for you, from day one.
This service is built for UHNW individuals, corporate flight departments, and family offices that want experienced guidance—not pressure to “get in line” for what’s trending. What we handle:
- Aircraft selection grounded in mission analysis
- OEM engagement, RFP support, and deal structuring
- Spec refinement and completion oversight
- Ownership structure consulting
- Entry-into-service planning and delivery logistics
