Getting a Brand-New Airplane for a Fraction of the Investment
Whether it’s a 900, 2000, or 50 series, there’s a reason you’ve loved your Falcon jet. It has the cabin, comfort and capabilities that made it the right aircraft for you in the first place. But missions change.
Maybe you’re flying longer routes more often, adding overwater trips to the schedule or simply finding that the range you once considered more than enough is starting to feel limiting.
One solution is to trade up to a new aircraft with more range and at least the same cabin space. That seemingly straightforward answer means selling your aircraft and spending millions more to get the additional capability you need. That’s before accounting for the time, effort and disruption that comes with finding and transitioning to another aircraft.
There is a better way, without two complicated aircraft transactions.
Additional Range On Tap
A Blended Winglet upgrade from Aviation Partners can give your existing Falcon the additional range you need for a fraction of the investment required to replace it. Instead of investing millions more into a different aircraft, you can invest in the one you already know.
You keep the cabin you chose, the airplane your crew knows and the aircraft that has already proven itself for your mission. Most importantly, you gain additional capability without taking on the cost and complexity of a complete aircraft change.
The math makes the alternative worth considering. If your existing Falcon is worth approximately $10 million, a winglet upgrade could cost less than $1 million. Compare that with selling the aircraft and putting another $15 million or more toward a newer jet that provides comparable cabin space and the additional range you’re looking for. Purchasing newer aircraft could be close to $30 million more to gain the same range functionality.
Suddenly, the question isn’t simply “What aircraft should I buy next?” It becomes “How much more capability can I get from the airplane I already own?”
Reinvesting Savings to Upgrade
Winglets don’t have to be the only improvement. The money you save by upgrading rather than replacing can give you room to invest in the rest of the aircraft, too. Refresh the interior. Update the exterior paint and livery. Add the latest connectivity and technology. Make the changes that matter to you and your passengers.
Instead of starting over with another aircraft, you can transform the one sitting in your hangar into something that feels remarkably different, while preserving the things you already love about it.
There’s another benefit that’s harder to put on a balance sheet: familiarity. You already know your Falcon. Your crew knows it. You know how it operates, what you like about the cabin and how it fits into your business and personal travel. Moving into a different aircraft can mean learning a new aircraft, potentially needing different crew with different type ratings, establishing new relationships and adapting to a different ownership experience. A winglet upgrade lets you build on what already works instead of replacing it.
The result is more than an aircraft modification. It’s a way to rethink what an upgrade can mean. You can keep the Falcon you love while giving it more of what you need, more range, a refreshed appearance, modern amenities and greater capability.
Why spend millions more to replace an aircraft when you may be able to dramatically improve the one you already own? The investment you make pays off substantially.
