A trusted partner for complex aviation decisions

Every aviation transaction brings together commercial objectives, technical condition, contractual obligations, financing considerations and operational realities.

Integrated support across the aviation asset lifecycle

GALC provides modular or end-to-end support. Clients can engage us for a defined workstream, a complete transaction or a broader airline and fleet project.

01 Aircraft Trading

Acquisition, sale and transaction support for commercial and private aircraft, engines and selected aviation assets. We help identify suitable opportunities, assess market positioning and coordinate the path to closing.

Acquisitions

Market search, candidate screening, commercial assessment, negotiation support, technical due diligence coordination and delivery oversight.

Sales & remarketing

Market analysis, pricing strategy, preparation of technical and commercial information, buyer engagement, negotiations, inspections and closing coordination.

Transaction advisory

For complex or cross-border transactions, we coordinate the commercial and technical workstreams that keep the process controlled, transparent and on schedule.

02 Leasing & Aviation Finance Support

Commercial support for operating leases, interim capacity, sale-and-leaseback opportunities and aircraft finance processes, aligned with the client's fleet strategy and operating requirements.

Operating lease solutions

Evaluating and negotiating operating leases, interim leases and other capacity solutions, with attention to aircraft suitability, economics, maintenance exposure and return conditions.

Sale-and-leaseback & finance processes

Preparation and commercial coordination of sale-and-leaseback and financing processes, working alongside the client's legal, tax, financial and technical advisers.

Lease negotiation support

Assessment of commercial terms, maintenance provisions, security requirements, delivery conditions, operational obligations and redelivery exposure before commitments are made.

03 Asset Management & Technical Advisory

Independent support for valuations, inspections, records review, maintenance status, delivery, redelivery, asset transitions and remarketing — focused on protecting value and reducing execution risk.

Asset oversight

Lease administration coordination, maintenance status monitoring, records oversight, inspections, operator communication and transition planning through the lease or ownership period.

Valuation & market assessment

Market-informed asset assessments supporting acquisition, sale, financing, portfolio review and fleet planning. Scope and basis are defined according to the intended use.

Pre-purchase review & records

We assess the technical condition, maintenance history, life-limited components, engine status and records quality before the transaction advances, coordinating specialist review as required.

04 Airline & Fleet Consulting

Advisory for airline establishment, fleet planning, restructuring, audits, aircraft selection, lease negotiations, registration processes and end-of-life strategies.

Establishment & transition

From initial concept and operating model through fleet selection, implementation planning and transition management. Responsibility for regulatory and certification matters remains with the relevant authorities and appointed professional advisers.

Strategy, restructuring & audit

Assessment of operating models, fleet economics, organisational priorities and improvement opportunities, translated into practical actions and accountable workstreams.

Fleet planning & entry into service

Mission, network, capacity, performance, availability, cost, operating economics, maintenance profile and residual value — plus coordination of registration, acceptance and delivery workstreams.

05 Engines, Components & End-of-Life

Sourcing and trading of engines, components and selected spare parts through qualified aviation channels, and exit strategies for mature or non-core assets.

Engine and spare parts sourcing

We source through qualified aviation channels, with traceability and technical verification requirements defined for each mandate.

End-of-life & part-out strategy

Assessment of remarketing, teardown, part-out and other exit options — comparing recoverable value, timing, technical condition and execution requirements.

Independent thinking

The right solution begins with the client's operational and commercial objectives — not with a predetermined aircraft, structure or counterparty.

Disciplined execution

Aviation transactions depend on attention to detail: clear responsibilities, timely information, structured due diligence and practical coordination from mandate to completion.

Long-term value

Maintenance exposure, records quality, configuration, residual value, marketability and exit strategy all shape the true economics of an aviation asset.

Trusted relationships

Discretion, transparency and consistent communication — a dependable extension of the client's team for a single transaction or an ongoing requirement.
