STRUCTURED · DISCREET · PRINCIPAL-LED
Mandate-led off-market transaction execution for aircraft, engines, and major assemblies.
Hopperson runs off-market transaction mandates for principals on the buy-side and sell-side, and in transaction-led transition situations. We structure the mandate, prepare the brief, qualify counterparties, control disclosure, and manage execution through offers, documentation, and closing.
Where market contact is required, outreach is selective and logged, with information released in stages rather than broadly circulated.

The mandate calls for representation, not a listing — and execution, not visibility.

TRANSACTIONS
Structured representation across acquisition, disposition,
and transaction-led transition situations.
Transactions are handled as controlled mandates, not open-market listings. The work is defined by representation scope, disclosure discipline, counterparty qualification, and execution management through closing.
SELL-SIDE
Disposition Mandates
- Confidential disposition of aircraft and engines
- Lease return and post-redelivery remarketing
- Portfolio rationalisation and selected disposals
- Major assembly disposition and part-out coordination
Mandate-led sale and remarketing processes for aircraft, engines, and major assemblies:
Controlled search, screening, and acquisition support for targeted fleet or component requirements:
Transaction work where execution is driven by redelivery, recovery, or lender direction:
BUY-SIDE
Search & Qualification
- Fleet acquisition search
- Lease-in search and qualification
- Engine, APU & LG replacement sourcing
- Spare engine pool structuring
- Pre-purchase coordination, including technical work alongside asset oversight and technical capabilities
SPECIAL SITUATIONS
Transition-led Execution
- Redelivery-linked transactions and sale/leaseback paths
- Distressed and recovery contexts, including repossession outcomes
- Lender-directed sale processes
- Cross-jurisdiction and multi-stakeholder coordination
TYPICAL SITUATIONS
01
Discreet Market Test
An owner, lessor, or asset manager needs to test the market for an aircraft, engine, or major assembly while preserving pricing discipline, counterparty control, and disclosure integrity.
02
Controlled Acquisition
A principal requires focused sourcing of a specific aircraft or assembly through controlled market coverage, qualified outreach, and structured counterparty screening instead of open-market search.
03
Time-Sensitive Situation
A buyer, seller, lender, or operator is working under timing, technical, lease return, redelivery, or internal approval constraints and needs disciplined transaction coordination across multiple stakeholders.
MANDATE FRAMEWORK
A mandate defines representation, governance, and disclosure control.
A transaction mandate defines representation, disclosure, and how the process will be run.
It establishes the scope of representation, the perimeter of disclosure, the structure of counterparty qualification, and the coordination framework through closing.
What This Is - And Is Not
SCOPE
This keeps the work within a defined mandate rather than an open listing or informal circulation.
CONTROL
Representation parameters, asset context, counterparty criteria, and workstreams are defined up front, before any outreach takes place.
DISCLOSURE
- Every counterparty engagement is conducted under a defined mandate, with participation recorded in the transaction log
- Asset information is not circulated without authorization from the principal and a defined release sequence
- This is not a listing or broadcast model
- Outreach is discreet and selective, not speculative circulation or catalogue-style intermediation
WHY THIS MATTERS FOR PRINCIPALS
01
Mandate-only engagement
Structure is agreed before any market contact occurs.
02
Controlled institutional outreach
Only qualified aviation counterparties are approached.
03
Transaction-to-transition continuity
Execution can connect directly into oversight, transition coordination, and wider asset lifecycle support where required.
