What is the normal aircraft broker/middleman commission rate?

Question

there's this investor that I know who is in the market for some jet airplanes. I've managed to introduce him to an aircraft manufacturer/seller. in a nutshell, this makes me the middleman. as much as i do want to make money from this project, i want to know the normal/standard commission rate paid to brokers/middlemen. thanks.

Answer 1

The answer really depends upon the amount of effort you brought to the transaction.

Did you know the manufacturer or seller?

Was the information you provided readily available on the internet, or was it based on your personal relationships and knowledge?

Did you assist with financing?

Did you analyze the investors needs and help them decide on what airplane fit their requirements?

Answer these questions, and we'll be able to tell you more about the finder's fee or commission you could expect.

Answer 2

Typically, in this industry, there is no such thing. All sales reps typically work for the jet manufacturers, and are paid an annual salary, as well as a commission based on a percentage of their sales. In a nutshell, don't expect a kickback from the manufacturer for anything.
