Hi, everyone!
Could anyone estimate ferry price from central US to Europe or UK?
Aircraft Phenom 100.
Do you think better to look for a freelance pilot or special company?
Thank you
I’ve just been quoted $20,000 by Shepherd Aero (Travis Holland) to ferry a PA46 Jetprop from NY to Europe. Thats all in – pilot, fuel, hotels, return airfare etc.
AFAIK they are a leading company for this service.
That is what we paid for airport and handling fees for a Mustang 2 year ago.
Fuel is easy to calculate.

Travis is the man for this, if you train with him he may give you one of these with your aircraft of the cover …..

That quote, given it includes fuel, positioning airfares and overnights is good value. You would also normally get a quote for handling and navigation charges, and insurance would be for the owner’s account.
Other items an owner might want to consider in a ferry contract include: crew health insurance; liability/indemnity – insurance should cover crew and SAR; ops support; AOG tech issues; processing the USA export with associated fees (state sales tax also).
Am sure the experienced ferry companies have this buttoned down, but some outfits are quite informal.
I would also recommend you contact Wade Coggins to give you a quote – I have only good things to say about him, he was very competent at organising not only the ferry flight but everything to do with the purchase / export documentation. His contact details are

If you look at his website, you’ll see his phone details there too…
