Aircraft Ferry & Delivery Services for Owners, Buyers, Sellers and Aviation Businesses Nationwide
Aircraft need to move for many different reasons.
A buyer just purchased an airplane 1,500 miles from home.
A seller needs an aircraft delivered after closing.
A broker needs an airplane repositioned for a pre-buy inspection.
A maintenance shop has a customer several states away.
A flight school purchased another trainer.
An insurance company needs a repaired aircraft returned to its owner.
A corporate flight department needs supplemental repositioning support.
Different customers.
Different missions.
One common problem:
The Aircraft Is Here. It Needs to Be There.
Ferry Flight USA coordinates professional aircraft ferry, aircraft delivery and repositioning missions throughout the United States for private aircraft owners and organizations throughout the aviation industry.
We support qualifying missions involving aircraft ranging from piston singles and twins to selected turbine and business aircraft.
Whether you need one airplane moved once or your organization needs recurring ferry support, Ferry Flight USA can help coordinate the aircraft, pilot and mission logistics.

Each customer has different needs.
That’s why we approach every aircraft movement as its own mission.
Aircraft Buyers
Buy the Right Aircraft — Not Just the Closest One
The used-aircraft market is nationwide.
The airplane that best fits your mission, budget and equipment requirements may be located hundreds or thousands of miles from home.
Ferry Flight USA can help qualifying aircraft buyers with:
- Newly purchased aircraft delivery
- Seller-to-buyer delivery
- Pre-buy inspection repositioning
- Delivery to maintenance before going home
- Avionics-shop repositioning
- Paint-shop repositioning
- Multi-stage purchase delivery
A transaction does not always have to look like:
Seller → Buyer
It may instead be:
Seller → Pre-Buy Facility → Buyer
or:
Seller → Engine Shop → Buyer
or:
Seller → Avionics Shop → Buyer
Professional aircraft ferry service helps remove geography from the purchase decision.
Aircraft Sellers
Make Nationwide Aircraft Sales Easier
Selling an aircraft to a buyer across the country creates an immediate question:
How is the airplane getting to the buyer?
The buyer may:
- Not yet meet insurance requirements
- Lack make/model experience
- Need transition training
- Have limited time
- Prefer professional delivery
Ferry Flight USA can coordinate qualifying aircraft delivery after the aircraft transaction is complete.
Potential missions include:
Seller → Buyer
Seller → Buyer’s Maintenance Facility
Seller → Avionics Shop → Buyer
Seller → Training Facility → Buyer
Professional delivery can help create a smoother transaction for both sides.
Aircraft Owners
When Your Aircraft Needs to Go Somewhere and You Don’t Have Time to Take It
Aircraft owners need ferry services for much more than buying and selling airplanes.
Your aircraft may need to move for:
- Annual inspection
- Engine overhaul
- Engine repair
- Avionics work
- Aircraft paint
- Interior refurbishment
- Propeller service
- Specialty maintenance
- Seasonal relocation
- Hangar relocation
- Base change
- General repositioning
Instead of spending an entire day—or several days—moving the aircraft yourself, Ferry Flight USA can coordinate a qualifying ferry pilot.
For maintenance projects, we can also evaluate return delivery once the aircraft is ready.
Aircraft Brokers
Aircraft Transportation Throughout the Transaction
Aircraft brokers operate in a nationwide marketplace.
The aircraft itself may need to move several times between listing and final delivery.
Ferry Flight USA can support qualifying broker missions involving:
- Pre-buy inspection repositioning
- Maintenance positioning
- Engine-shop movement
- Avionics-shop movement
- Buyer delivery
- Seller repositioning
- Inventory movement
- Closing-related aircraft delivery
A broker may coordinate:
Seller → Independent Pre-Buy → Buyer
or:
Seller → Pre-Buy → Maintenance → Buyer
Ferry Flight USA helps handle the aircraft transportation while the broker focuses on the transaction.
Aircraft Dealers
Inventory Movement, Trade-Ins & Customer Delivery
Aircraft dealers may need airplanes repositioned constantly.
Potential missions include:
- Newly acquired inventory
- Trade-ins
- Auction purchases
- Dealer-to-dealer transfers
- Maintenance positioning
- Paint
- Avionics
- Pre-sale refurbishment
- Customer delivery
Instead of sending sales personnel or internal pilots on every repositioning mission, dealers can use Ferry Flight USA as an aircraft transportation resource.
Potential routes include:
Seller → Dealer
Dealer → Maintenance
Dealer → Buyer
Trade-In Location → Dealer
Maintenance Shops
Help Customers Get Their Aircraft to Your Facility
A respected aircraft maintenance shop can attract customers from far outside its immediate airport.
But customers often ask:
“How do I get my airplane to you?”
Ferry Flight USA can help qualifying maintenance facilities provide an aircraft transportation solution.
Potential missions include:
- Annual inspections
- Engine work
- Structural maintenance
- Landing-gear maintenance
- Troubleshooting
- Corrosion repair
- Specialty maintenance
- Return delivery
The process can become:
Customer Airport → Maintenance Facility → Customer Airport
Your mechanics stay focused on maintenance.
Ferry Flight USA helps coordinate the aircraft movement.
Avionics Shops
Expand Your Avionics Service Area
Aircraft owners frequently travel long distances for specialized avionics work.
Projects may include:
- Full glass-panel upgrades
- GPS installation
- Autopilot installation
- ADS-B
- Transponders
- Engine monitors
- Radios
- Audio panels
- Electrical troubleshooting
- Avionics repair
Ferry Flight USA can coordinate qualifying pickup and return delivery for customers using your facility.
That gives avionics shops another answer when a customer says:
“I want to use your shop, but you’re 800 miles away.”
Aircraft Paint Shops
Pickup & Return Delivery for Paint Customers
Aircraft paint and restoration shops often attract customers from across the country.
Owners may select a facility because of:
- Reputation
- Quality
- Aircraft experience
- Custom design
- Restoration capabilities
- Corrosion expertise
Ferry Flight USA can coordinate qualifying transportation:
Customer Airport → Paint Facility
and later:
Paint Facility → Customer Airport
Projects may include:
- Complete repaint
- Strip and repaint
- Exterior restoration
- Custom graphics
- Fleet branding
- Corrosion treatment
- Pre-sale refurbishment
Flight Schools
Keep Your CFIs Teaching
Flight-school fleets constantly need repositioning.
Potential missions include:
- Newly purchased aircraft
- Aircraft sales
- Annual inspections
- 100-hour inspections
- Engine work
- Avionics upgrades
- Fleet transfers
- New training locations
- Base changes
Sending a flight instructor on a multi-day ferry trip can mean:
- Cancelled lessons
- Reduced instructor availability
- Lost training revenue
Ferry Flight USA can coordinate qualifying aircraft repositioning while your CFIs remain focused on students.
Flying Clubs
Professional Transportation for Club Aircraft
Flying clubs and aircraft co-ops may need airplanes moved for:
- Annual inspections
- Engine work
- Avionics
- Paint
- Fleet acquisitions
- Aircraft sales
- Seasonal relocation
- Base changes
A club member or instructor may be able to handle a short trip.
But longer missions may require:
- Commercial airline travel
- Rental cars
- Hotels
- Multiple days
Ferry Flight USA gives flying clubs another option.
Aircraft Management Companies
Repositioning Support for Managed Aircraft
Aircraft management companies coordinate:
- Crew
- Maintenance
- Scheduling
- Ownership requirements
- Hangaring
- Insurance
- Operational logistics
Aircraft occasionally need to move outside the normal crew schedule.
Potential missions include:
- Maintenance repositioning
- Acquisition delivery
- Sale delivery
- Fleet transfer
- Base relocation
- Seasonal repositioning
- Aircraft recovery
Ferry Flight USA can provide supplemental ferry support for qualifying managed aircraft.
Finance & Leasing Companies
Aircraft Asset Repositioning
Aircraft lenders and leasing organizations may need aircraft moved throughout the asset lifecycle.
Potential missions can include:
- Lease commencement
- Lease return
- Inspection positioning
- Maintenance positioning
- Storage relocation
- Remarketing
- Buyer delivery
- Properly authorized asset repositioning
Potential routes may include:
Operator → Inspection Facility
Operator → Maintenance
Lease Return → Storage
Storage → Buyer
Lessor → New Lessee
Ferry Flight USA coordinates aircraft transportation for qualifying, properly authorized missions.
We do not determine ownership rights, repossession authority or legal entitlement to aircraft possession.
Insurance Companies
Claims-Related Aircraft Repositioning & Post-Repair Delivery
Aircraft claims can happen anywhere.
After evaluation or repair, an aircraft may need to move between:
- Loss location
- Repair facility
- Specialty maintenance facility
- Storage
- Owner’s airport
Potential insurance-related missions include:
- Post-repair return delivery
- Repair-facility repositioning
- Aircraft recovery
- Weather-damage repositioning
- Maintenance transportation
- AOG recovery
Aircraft condition and authorization requirements must be addressed before movement.
When an aircraft cannot complete a normal flight, additional maintenance or an FAA Special Flight Permit may be required.
Estates & Trustees
Aircraft Transportation During Estate & Trust Administration
Aircraft can become part of:
- Estates
- Trusts
- Probate
- Family asset transfers
- Business succession
- Asset liquidation
An executor, trustee or family representative may need an airplane moved even when they have limited aviation experience.
Potential missions can include:
- Aircraft to maintenance
- Aircraft to inspection
- Aircraft to storage
- Aircraft to broker
- Aircraft to dealer
- Aircraft to buyer
- Aircraft to beneficiary
Ferry Flight USA can coordinate qualifying aircraft movement once an appropriately authorized party confirms authority to move the aircraft.
We do not determine:
- Legal title
- Probate authority
- Trustee authority
- Ownership disputes
Those matters must be resolved before aircraft movement.
Corporate Flight Departments
Supplemental Aircraft Repositioning & Crew Support
Corporate flight departments sometimes need additional repositioning resources.
Potential missions can include:
- Maintenance positioning
- Acquisition delivery
- Aircraft sale
- Fleet transfer
- Base repositioning
- Return from maintenance
- Supplemental crew support
Selected business-aircraft missions can require:
- Type-rated pilots
- Two-pilot crews

Ferry Flight USA evaluates qualifying corporate missions based on the exact aircraft and crew requirements.

- Type ratings
- Crew requirements
- Recurrent training
- Insurance
- Pilot availability
Aircraft-Specific Pilot Matching
Different customers may need different services.
But one principle remains the same:
The Right Pilot for the Right Aircraft and the Right Mission.
Pilot matching can consider:
- Pilot certificate
- Ratings
- Endorsements
- Total time
- PIC time
- Make/model experience
- Complex experience
- High-performance experience
- Tailwheel experience
- Multi-engine time
- Pressurization experience
- Turbine experience
- Type ratings
- Recurrent training
- Insurance requirements
- Mission complexity
OUR Phttps://ferryflightusa.com/pilotILOTS
Insurance Requirements Matter
Aircraft insurance can establish pilot requirements beyond basic FAA qualifications.
Requirements may involve:
- Total time
- Make/model time
- Multi-engine time
- Retractable-gear experience
- Tailwheel experience
- Turbine time
- Time in type
- Recurrent training
- Named-pilot approval
That means a pilot can be legally qualified to operate an aircraft without necessarily satisfying the owner’s insurance policy.
Insurance requirements should be addressed before pilot dispatch whenever applicable.
AIRCRAFT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
Nationwide Aircraft Ferry Service
Ferry Flight USA is based at:
Orlando-Apopka Airport (X04)
Apopka, Florida

Qualifying missions can originate or terminate throughout:
- Florida
- Southeast
- Northeast
- Midwest
- Texas
- Southwest
- Mountain West
- West Coast

Some ferry missions cover only a few hundred miles.
Others cross the entire country.
Potential routes may include:
Florida → California
California → Florida

Coordinate travel to the aircraft.

AIRCRAFT PRE-DELIVERY CHECKLIST
Multi-Stage Aircraft Ferry Missions
Some aircraft need to visit several locations.
For example:
Aircraft Buyer
Seller → Pre-Buy → Engine Shop → Buyer
Aircraft Dealer
Trade-In → Annual Inspection → Dealer
Aircraft Owner
Home → Paint Shop → Home
Finance Company
Operator → Inspection → Storage
Insurance Company
Repair Facility → Owner
Flight School
Seller → Maintenance → School
Ferry Flight USA can evaluate qualifying multi-stage repositioning rather than treating every leg as a completely unrelated transportation problem.

You may need aircraft moved:
- Throughout the year
- Whenever an aircraft sells
- Whenever a new aircraft is purchased
- Whenever maintenance is scheduled
- Whenever fleet requirements change
Potential recurring partners include:
- Aircraft brokers
- Dealers
