Frequently Asked Questions

 No. There are no fees to list or sell your aircraft through Frontier Aviation Auctions. 

You will receive 100% of the final sale price. The buyer pays a buyer’s premium as a platform service fee.

 Once your aircraft has been approved for listing, a reserve price is agreed between you and the platform.

This ensures:

• alignment with market expectations 
• a realistic opportunity to achieve a successful sale

 Once the auction concludes:

• the buyer’s premium is paid by the successful bidder 
• buyer and seller are introduced directly 
• the buyer pays you directly via agreed method (typically bank transfer or escrow)

 No.

• The aircraft remains with the seller 
• The transaction is completed directly between buyer and seller 
• Frontier Aviation Auctions does not hold funds or assets

 Sellers are expected to provide:

• detailed aircraft specifications 
• logbook summaries and maintenance history 
• configuration and equipment details 
• high-quality professional imagery 

Listings must meet a defined standard to be accepted.

 Yes.

Buyers are encouraged to:

• arrange inspections 
• request additional information 
• conduct due diligence 

This can be coordinated directly between buyer and seller.

 If the reserve is not met:

• the aircraft may be re-listed 
• a post-auction offer process may be initiated 
• or alternative options may be discussed 

There is no cost to the seller.

 If a buyer introduced through the platform proceeds to purchase the aircraft privately during or shortly after the listing period, a fee may still apply.

This ensures fairness for the exposure and buyer introduction provided.

The platform is primarily focused on aircraft transactions, including both private and commercial fixed-wing and rotary aircraft.

However, we may also accept select aviation-related assets, including:

• ground support equipment 
• aircraft handling equipment (tugs, trolleys, etc.) 
• aviation parts and components 
• memorabilia and aviation-related collectibles 

All listings are curated and must meet a defined standard.

The platform is not intended to operate as a general marketplace — only items that are relevant, well-presented, and aligned with the aviation focus will be accepted.

 Buyers must register prior to bidding.

This includes:

• providing contact details 
• completing verification 
• registering a valid payment method where required

Yes.

Placing a bid indicates a genuine intention to proceed if you are the successful bidder, subject to platform terms.

 If your bid is successful:

• the buyer’s premium is payable 
• you are introduced to the seller 
• the transaction is completed directly between you and the seller

Typically, payment and collection are arranged directly between buyer and seller within an agreed timeframe following the auction. 

Yes. If a listing does not meet reserve, or if agreed by the seller, a structured offer process may be available.

The buyer’s premium is a fee payable by the buyer based on the final sale price.

It covers:

• platform operation 
• listing preparation 
• buyer verification 
• auction management

The buyer pays the buyer’s premium.

The seller receives the full sale price.

The buyer’s premium is payable once a successful bidder is confirmed, prior to introduction to the seller. 

Payment is made directly between the buyer and seller, typically via bank transfer or other agreed method. 

Frontier Aviation Auctions operates on a buyer’s premium model.

There are no fees for sellers — the full sale price is paid directly to the seller. A buyer’s premium is applied to successful purchases, based on the final sale price.

The current structure is as follows:

• For assets sold between $1 and $10,000, a buyer’s premium of 8% applies, capped at $600. 
• For assets sold between $10,001 and $50,000, a buyer’s premium of 6% applies, capped at $2,000. 
• For assets sold between $50,001 and $100,000, a buyer’s premium of 4% applies, capped at $3,000. 
• For assets sold between $100,001 and $250,000, a buyer’s premium of 3% applies, capped at $5,000. 
• For assets sold between $250,001 and $500,000, a buyer’s premium of 2% applies, capped at $5,000. 
• For assets sold between $500,001 and $1,000,000, a buyer’s premium of 1% applies, capped at $7,500. 
• For assets sold between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000, a buyer’s premium of 0.75% applies, capped at $25,000. 
• For assets sold above $5,000,000, a buyer’s premium of 0.5% applies, capped at $50,000. 

This structure is designed to ensure fairness across all price points, with caps in place to prevent disproportionate fees as asset value increases.

 Auctions typically run for 14–30 days. 

To ensure fairness, bids placed near the end of the auction may extend the auction time. This prevents last-second bidding and allows all participants the opportunity to respond.

No. Reserve prices are not publicly disclosed.
