This is precisely why jetAVIVA offers comprehensive PPI Management for our brokerage and acquisition clients at no additional cost.

Rick Sylvia, jetAVIVA’s Director of Technical Services, is at the core of this service, and helps every one of our clients coordinate and manage the PPI process of the purchase or sale of an aircraft.
