We deliver aircraft.
Most aviation brokers avoid Africa and emerging markets because the logistics are hard. We built our entire business there. That's why clients come to us when other firms say "too complex."
Lars Niehaus · Tobias Rueckerl
Managing Directors, Highgate L&T
200+ Transactions Closed
From single-asset deals to fleet-level acquisitions. Every transaction structured, negotiated, and delivered to completion — not just brokered and handed off.
The Africa Advantage
While competitors avoid emerging markets, we thrive in them. On-the-ground networks across Africa, Middle East, and beyond — where the real growth (and margins) are.
40+ Country Network
Three decades of relationships with operators, lessors, and OEMs worldwide. When you need an aircraft, we already know who has it — and at what price.
Legal Minds, Not Just Brokers
Both directors hold formal legal qualifications. Your contracts aren't reviewed by lawyers after the fact — they're written by them from day one.
Don't take our word for it.
Take theirs.
“Highgate delivered an aircraft into a market that three other brokers told us was impossible. They made it look routine.”
Aviation Operations Director
African Carrier
“The legal structuring alone saved us from a contract that would have cost millions in penalties. Their directors think like lawyers and operators simultaneously.”
CFO
International Leasing Group
“From mandate to delivery in under 90 days — including regulatory approvals in two jurisdictions. Unheard of in this industry.”

From mandate
to delivery.
A disciplined five-phase process. No gaps, no ambiguity, no surprises.
Mandate
We formalise scope, objectives, and engagement terms. Clear mandate, aligned incentives, defined timeline.
Sourcing
Activation of our international networks. Counterparty identification, initial commercial positioning, and opportunity assessment.
Due Diligence
Independent technical inspection coordination, documentation review, valuation, and commercial term analysis.
Transaction
Term negotiation, legal structuring, regulatory coordination. We manage complexity so you don't have to.
Delivery
Delivery coordination, final documentation, and handover. Operational certainty through to completion.
If we can't find it,
you don't pay. Period.
We work on mandate, not retainer. No monthly fees. No open-ended billing. You define the requirement — we source, negotiate, and deliver. If we can't locate an aircraft that meets your specification and budget, you owe us nothing.
48-Hour Response
Initial market assessment and availability report within two business days of mandate.
Zero Risk Engagement
No retainers. No upfront fees. We only succeed when you do.
Full Transparency
Every counterparty, every cost, every negotiation detail — visible to you in real time.
Tell us what you need.
We'll tell you how fast we can get it.
No pitch decks. No lengthy onboarding. One call to understand your requirement, a clear proposal within 48 hours, and execution that starts immediately. That's it.
