Closing safely
Buying an aircraft is a large wire transfer waiting to be intercepted. A few habits keep your money safe.
Always use a licensed escrow agent
Aircraft escrow protects both parties. Funds are only released when title and conditions are confirmed. Choose a licensed escrow agent and confirm their credentials yourself — BuyJet does not vet or recommend providers.
Never wire on emailed instructions
Fraudsters intercept email and send fake wire details. Confirm every wiring instruction by phone using a number you looked up independently.
Keep the conversation on BuyJet
A seller who pushes you off-platform and demands a fast wire is a red flag. Legitimate sellers are patient and use escrow.
Get an independent pre-buy inspection
Use a shop with no relationship to the seller. It is the single best protection against expensive surprises.
