Flightline Aviation Limited

I am a 'late starter' to the world of General Aviation, having secured my PPL and Night Rating only a few months before my 70th Birthday. I wanted to buy my own aircraft, but was only ever going to do this once .... so it had to be right. Mike Godden, the CEO of Flightline Aviation Ltd, contacted me in very early January to say that a stunning Piper Archer II was about to come on the market. In short, and despite the fact that the seller is actually his client rather than the would-be buyer, he gave me a huge amount of very wise and well considered advice (I was thinking about a Socata Tobago). I went with that advice, and a sales agreement was signed within a week. Since then, Mike has been immensely helpful through a huge number of e-mails and telephone calls and has 'held my hand' at every stage of what is by definition an unfamiliar process to me. He very quickly gained my complete trust and he turned the whole potentially daunting process into an absolute breeze. He has guided, advised, allayed any concerns I might have had and has done his job absolutely brilliantly. Moreover, he has made the whole thing a real pleasure. I cannot commend the firm in general and Mike in particular too strongly, and when the time comes to part with the aircraft I will look nowhere other than Flightline Aviation Ltd to steer me through that process, too. Thank you so much, Mike.

After making the difficult decision to sell my Aircraft and dealing with a couple of time wasters, I set about looking to utilise a broker. The cost of paying commission outweighed the hassle and answering futile enquiries. There are a few about of course, a couple that I did contact quickly offered me cash over the phone; without seeing the Aircraft which seemed odd. They were Just out to make a quick buck. I then happened across Michael Godden at Flightline who just seemed more professional and required to see the Aircraft first hand. Confidence restored, his valuation was far more realistic in line with the market trend and better than the cash offers. I needed no convincing, immediately received a contract clearly detailing the procedure which alleviated the pressure, and any potential for hassle. Within a few days a credible buyer materialised and a pre flight inspection undertaken plus full valet; all arranged and paid for by Flightline as part of the service. The sale went through without a hitch and I just felt throughout that Michael and his colleagues truly held up both the interests of myself, the seller and the buyer through clear communication and honest brokering.

Excellent service from Mike and his team at Flightline. Sold my Archer 111 within a week, and found me a Saratoga the next week. A really professional team. Highly recommended.

Great! Friendly, helpful and Mike helped me find exactly the right aircraft. I thoroughly recommend them.

I've been working with Flightline Aviation for a number of years. They're always very responsive, friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

I was a prospective buyer with Flightline. This is a slightly unusual review in that, for reasons outside the control of Flightline, the deal fell through.However, I felt that Flightline were consummate professionals throughout. They were always fair and played everything with a straight bat (not always the case, from my experience, in this market). Both Joe and latterly Mike were a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to deal with them again and/or sell an aircraft through them should the need ever arise.
