New aircraft events for aircraft registered to ferry companies

Following feedback from customers, we have added two new events for aircraft registered to ferry companies. This enables us to clearly show what is happening with the aircraft rather than represent them as purchases etc. – typically this is around aircraft with Textron – Beech / Cessna heritage.

The new events are:

  • Transferred to ferry company – parked
  • Transferred from ferry company to customer

Transferred to ferry company – parked

This is used to transfer the ownership to the ferry company as per the register/FAA documentation – often these aircraft are just transferred to Rangeflyers etc …….for admin/paperwork exercises for the ferry part of the transaction.

Transferred from ferry company to customer

This event is applied once the aircraft is in country and typically cancels to the destination country. It could also just be a change of ownership on the same register from the ferry company to the customer.

Both these events can be seen in this history table of aircraft PK-BVS, and is shown in Figure 1 below.
