FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Private Aircraft Auction House and industry-leading aircraft brokerage firm Assent Aeronautics created a new way to buy and sell aircraft in 2019 with the launch of the Assent Live Private Aircraft Auction Series. In 2020, Assent pivoted to bring the auctions online amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and saw $180MM+ in aircraft cross the auction block. In 2021, Assent built upon that foundation to realize over $200MM+ in aircraft transactions across live private aircraft auctions, traditional aircraft brokerage, and a transformational aviation lease management practice.

Highlights of ASSENT Aeronautics 2021 Results:

Our research, analysis, & industry intell all point to the continuation of 30%+ growth in demand. In the near-term, demand will continue to outstrip supply, giving way to higher charter rates, increasing lease rates & unprecedented asset appreciation.” Hulsey Smith, President of Assent Aeronautics.

While demand for private travel seesawed from historic lows to historic highs within a 12-month period, Assent was successful in adapting to industry and client demands. In the middle of a global pandemic, the Assent Live Private Aircraft Auction Series delivered results with over $180MM in aircraft crossing the auction block. Now on the other side of the trough, nationwide charter operators are struggling to deliver, facing unprecedented demand, with some operators even dozens of aircraft short with an avalanche of holiday travel looming. Assent once again delivered by successfully launching a best-of-breed aviation lease management practice to place lease fleet and leaseback aircraft with industry-leading FAA Part 135 Operators. Assent's lease management practice focuses on King Air 350, Citation X, Challenger, Gulfstream, and BizLiner airframes.

"For aircraft owners who want to realize lease revenue from their jet, Assent's aviation lease management practice is the solution that guarantees lease revenue, provides maintenance and financial oversight to protect your investment in aviation, and ensures you, the aircraft owner, have control over your invested dollar in the face of historic demand." Said W. Hulsey Smith, Founder, and President of Assent Aeronautics. "Our research, analysis, and industry intelligence all point to the continuation of 30%+ growth in demand through 2022. In the near-term, demand will undoubtedly continue to outstrip supply, giving way to higher charter rates, increasing lease rates, and unprecedented asset appreciation."

Assent Aeronautics has also tapped current AVP Jake Banglesdorf to serve as Executive Vice President of Assent's aircraft transaction and advisory business unit. Jake, individually, ended both 2020 and 2021 as a top-5 aircraft broker under 40 by volume globally. In his new role, Jake will lead and manage the Assent Live Private Aircraft Auction Series, traditional aircraft brokerage, and Assent's aviation lease management practice. He is charged with scaling all three components of the business unit and adding brokers to meet increasing demand. "I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity and the trust that Hulsey and the Smith Family has put in me to lead this team and grow this business unit. They have given me all of the tools needed to be successful, including access to growth capital and the ability to add seasoned aircraft brokers to our roaster." Said Jake Banglesdorf, newly appointed Executive Vice President of Assent Aeronautics. "Beyond organic growth, as we look to 2022 we are considering accretive M&A opportunities as well."
