But don’t just take our word for it, ask the hard questions and make informed comparisons.

Complicated stuff with expensive outcomes. Make sure someone is talking straight with you around what you really need.

We make your purchase simple and easy
...but so does everyone. It would be better to say "We make your purchase safe". Our transaction process is refined for international sales and the process is bullet-proof. We know when something in the transaction is not legitimate.
It is important to realise that aircraft sales is an unregulated global business and if you ask around, there is more than one story of a deal turning into a life-changing negative experience.
We don't make those mistakes.
About us
Volation emerged in 2020 as a response to buyers and sellers needing legitimate and knowledgable support to market and manage aircraft and parts transactions globally.
Volation’s mission: facilitate flight.
Why Volation?
01
Zero guesswork.
What haven’t we flown or fixed? There are no fresh faced grads sporting a latte and crisp suit here (*) Our value proposition is real industry experience. We don’t tolerate 'B' team players, only legitimate Aviation professionals with a mission to facilitate flight.
(* not that we mind wearing our suits or drinking expensive coffee!)
02
Sobering truths.
Each member fought his way into the industry. If you value the input of people with doctorates in hard work, outlandish work stories, sobering failures and a determination to be as perfect as possible - then you'll get on nicely with us.
Ply us with tequila and breakfast tacos and enjoy the work stories...
03
It isn’t all about money.
But it does take a lot of money and the purchase of an aircraft is an achievement of a life-time. Your decades of grind and sacrifice demands a partner committed to finding your perfect reward.
We’re still those guys that turn our head to the sky when we hear a Merlin engine howling.
04
Freedom ‘88.
Aviation has been our story since the 1970’s and for us, it is too late to change now. Buy with us today, sell with us tomorrow and know that we will be there when you need help, trustworthy advice, new introductions or to just talk flying.
Heck, you’ve probably met us on fires or a drill move somewhere.
Logistics
Unless you’re flying an airliner, your aircraft was ferry flown or dismantled and shipped via ocean or air from the factory to where it now resides. Getting it to your hangar is a significant part of the buying and selling process. Do you need an Export C of A? Will the modifications to the aircraft be accepted by the receiving authorities? What about domestic sales taxes?
We know the answers and it is our mission to facilitate flight.
“We have found Stephen’s experience as a pilot, his broad industry knowledge and many contacts very useful as newcomers to aviation”.
