I worked with Ben on the sale of my Piper, and my experience can be summed up in two words: truly professional.Although I never met Ben in person or visited Airmart’s location, the entire transaction was incredibly smooth. Ben was always available to answer my questions, provide guidance, and help find the right buyer for my aircraft in a remarkably short period of time. His communication and professionalism were second to none.After owning my plane for nine years, it was important to me that it found a good home, and I’m very happy with how everything turned out.I spoke with several other companies before deciding to go with Airmart. They were straightforward, provided real value, and ultimately delivered exactly what they said they would.Thank you, Ben, and the Airmart team, for making the entire process so easy and professional. I’ll definitely remember Airmart when I’m ready to start looking for my next airplane!

Absolutely great experience with AirMart. I had been looking for an aircraft for some time and had a few “must haves” and found such at AirMart. Ben Hawkey was fantastic to deal with in answering my slew of questions and requests. When it came to closing their title company took care of everything quickly and efficiently. If I ever need another aircraft I would certainly use them for my needs. A+++

I posted a question about engine overahaul on Facebook, and engaged in a converation with AirMart who made an offer to buy my plane so I didn’t have to deal with the engine overhaul. They gave me a competitive price and took a lot of the heavy lifting off my plate to make the transaction easy. Would highly recommend!

Friendly and efficient service. I bought the aircraft from Air Mart in 2011 and came full circle to sell 15 years later in 2026 with Air Mart. Good experience.

Working with Airmart for the sale of our aircraft was a pleasure. Everyone was professional, honest, and efficient. They made the whole process simple by taking care of everything from the transport of the aircraft, inspection, inquiries, and sale. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Thanks to everyone especially Jacob my salesman. Airmart stood behind their promise to make it right when I had a small issue after delivery. I appreciate you guys for delivering a great plane, with excellent service from the beginning and afterwards. Not many companies are concerned about both the customer and their products, Airmart is one of a kind.

No way around it- selling your airplane is almost like losing a family member.AirMart’s seamless transaction made it a lot easier. Everyone was so easy to work with.I’m glad I picked AirMart to handle my sale.
