“If your aircraft sells, you quickly and easily convert it into cash. If it does not sell, you also win since the auction process helps establish the ‘true market value’ which may impact property taxes”, states Don Groenemann

Spring, TX (PRWEB) August 10, 2010

Aviation-Auctions (http://www.aviation-auctions.com) today announced the launch of a new online auction solution for used helicopters, airplanes and major aviation components. The auction site was created to provide owners and operators a global disposition outlet for idle, surplus and even obsolete aircraft.

Through a joint-venture with AssetNation, Aviation-Auctions is able to give sellers access to a broader commercial buying community that previously was not available to them. AssetNation not only provides a proven online bidding architecture already in use by many Fortune 500 and insurance companies, but provides a seller access to over 85,000 registered commercial buyers. This platform combined with Aviation-Auctions industry expertise, resources and turn-key program management; provide a major step forward and a refreshing solution for the aviation industry.

The inaugural online auction is scheduled to start September 9, 2010 and owners and operators are already lining up to take part in this event. Paul Mouisset, Aircraft Sales Manager for Bristow, (NYSE: BRS) is seizing this opportunity to auction his surplus assets and has already listed two Sikorsky S-76A models. Mouisset said "I see no down side to this service, it costs me nothing to list my aircraft and I control the final price I accept. Aviation-Auctions will manage the entire process."

This new online auction service is a win-win opportunity that all aviation industry executives should seriously consider. “We are excited that Bristow has already signed up to be one of our launch customers”, states Don Groenemann with Groenemann & Summit Aircraft Sales and lead consultant with Aviation Auctions, LLC. He continues, “If your aircraft sells, you quickly and easily convert it into cash. If it does not sell, you also win since the auction process helps establish the ‘true market value’ which may impact property taxes”.

Auctions are planned to occur quarterly and upcoming events are scheduled for September 9th and December 2nd 2010.
