SIA Group Aviation have been researching and planning The Aviation Auction for a few years, SIA Group are experienced licensed Auctioneers with over 20 years history, we have sold a variety of high profile assets from the Lotus Formula One team to holding world record Art sales. Group Chairman Simon Morgan sits on the board of NAVA (National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers). SIA Group have the knowledge and expertise to ensure that The Aviation Auction will not just be a one off event, but a regular fixture in the aviation industry calendar.

The purpose of The Aviation Auction is to simplify the way upon which Aircraft, Parts and equipment are bought and sold. The Aviation Auction will allow buyer and seller a transparent and seamless way to make a purchase or sale. Through the auction process long winded negotiations over price and contracts are eliminated. The often tested and fraught relationship between buyer and seller is removed. Most importantly there are no hidden commissions and sales prices are transparent to all parties involved allowing aircraft and parts to be sold for their true value.

The Aviation Auction being held at Bicester Heritage in June 2014, is aimed at the General Aviation and Business Aviation markets, there will be a number of VIP and Utility Rotary Aircraft, Piston and Turbine Fixed Wing Planes along with Business Jets. The aim of the auction is to allow a global market access to aircraft they otherwise wouldn’t know were available.
