Welsch Aviation, Company

True to their roots as the world's oldest continuously operating aircraft brokerage firm, Welsch Aviation® has been deliberate to avoid what Jim Welsch refers to as the "dealer trap". Unlike many aircraft brokerages, Welsch Aviation® does not own, operate or inventory aircraft, which would compete against aircraft they represent on an exclusive basis. Jim Welsch explains: "It all comes back to serving our clients' objectives without compromise. You can't wear both hats successfully, because at the end of the day, when you've got just one buyer for a particular aircraft type, you're going to sell your jet before you sell your client's. The only way to avoid that conflict of interest and operate without bias is to make sure that you don't own your own inventory. That's just good business sense and I think sellers--and buyers--appreciate that." Welsch Aviation® has produced consistently exceptional results for their clients by providing unparalleled dedication, experience and integrity. Their historic position in the aviation community as pioneers of aircraft brokerage is matter of professional pride and their legacy will undoubtedly continue for generations to come. As for the future, it is not difficult to imagine that one day the first brokered supersonic executive jet will be represented by Welsch Aviation®. When asked the secret to how Welsch Aviation® has managed to maintain its' reputation as the leading edge of corporate aircraft brokerage for more than half a century, Jim Welsch replied simply, "It's great to have a venerable place in history, but the only way to secure the future is by working hard in the present. As for our reputation, we earn it every day."
