National Aircraft Finance Association (NAFA) is pleased to announce that Guardian Jet has recently joined its network of aviation professionals. Guardian Jet provides aircraft brokerage, appraisals and consulting services and helps high-net-worth individuals and corporate flight departments find, buy, sell and appraise jet aircraft. 

“NAFA members proudly finance, support or enable the financing of general and business aviation aircraft throughout the world, and we are happy to add Guardian Jet to our association,” said Ed Medici, President of NAFA.

Among other consulting and strategic services, Guardian Jet will:

  • Provide expert insight and aviation data intelligence via Guardian Jet’s Market Surveys and a Guardian Estimate™, which is a proprietary aircraft valuation tool that forecasts the sales price of all aircraft on the market, given historical trends. 

  • Calculate an aircraft’s Fair Market Value sale price based on its features and history relative to the current market.
