5x5 Trading

One of aviation's biggest challenges is that expertise and confidence often sound exactly the same.

The industry has very few meaningful barriers to entry, which means owners are often left trying to distinguish genuine expertise from polished salesmanship.

That's one reason standards matter. Not because credentials replace judgment, but because they provide evidence. Fewer than 65 brokerages worldwide hold IADA accreditation. It exists precisely because this market needs a verifiable standard.

A multimillion-dollar aircraft transaction deserves the same level of diligence you'd expect from your attorney, wealth manager, or M&A advisor.

Every morning, four principals sit down on every active deal.

Not to check in. Not to update a status report. To pressure-test it.

That's the standard we hold with every transaction.

Another successful transaction completed.

5x5 Trading is pleased to announce the successful sale of Embraer Phenom 300, Serial Number 104.

From valuation and marketing strategy to negotiation and closing, we're proud to help clients navigate every stage of the sales process with confidence.

Whether you're considering selling, acquiring, or simply evaluating your aircraft in today's market, the 5x5 Trading team is here to provide independent guidance every step of the way.

Serving as Wheels Up's exclusive transaction partner, we have managed the acquisition and disposition of nearly 100 aircraft since 2024, helping the company complete its jet fleet modernization program 18 months ahead of the original timeline.

“This is exactly the kind of engagement 5x5 was built for. Fleet transitions of this scale require every acquisition and disposition to be managed in the context of the next. Working hand in hand with the Wheels Up team, we sequenced the transition to protect operational continuity while delivering against the timeline they set.” - John Odegard, 5x5 Co-Founder and IADA Chair

Q2 is where strategy replaces optimism.

By April, the market starts to show where deals are actually getting done and where pricing is holding.

If you are buying, selling, or evaluating fleet moves this year, this is the moment to reassess and act with clarity.

The traditional brokerage model wasn’t broken. It just wasn’t built for clients. After years inside the industry, we saw common gaps in how deals were done. Not because people lacked skill, but because the model prioritized inventory and sales targets over the client’s mission.

It's why we built 5x5 Trading, rooted in experience, backed by data, and focused on clarity. No quotas. Just fiduciary-first advice, comprehensive analysis, and partnership at every step.

At 5x5, you'll work directly with senior partners who think beyond transactions, helping you buy, sell, or transition with confidence. That’s our difference.

Strong new aircraft deliveries are helping support activity across the pre-owned market.

Industry insights shared by the International Aircraft Dealers Association (IADA), based on delivery data reported by the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA), highlight how increased OEM deliveries often lead to more aircraft entering the resale market as owners transition into new aircraft.

These replacement cycles help maintain healthy inventory flow and market liquidity, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers.

Look closely.

In aircraft transactions, the headline rarely tells the full story.

The real leverage sits in:
• Inspection timing relative to major events
• Program enrollment and transferability
• Logbook discipline and documentation continuity

These aren’t cosmetic details.
They’re value drivers.

Sophisticated buyers know where to look.

Buyers can underwrite facts. They can’t underwrite uncertainty.

Complete records + professional repairs + proactive disclosure = retained value.
Vague answers + delayed transparency = immediate discounts.

In this market, transparency isn’t optional. It’s financial strategy.
