Crafting Aviation Legacies: Premier Aircraft's Journey

Who We Are

Premier Aircraft Sales is a global leader in the sale of new and preowned piston and turbine aircraft. Founded in 2003, Premier is the largest U.S. authorized dealer for Diamond Aircraft. With over 2,000 sales to date, we’re a leading dealer in the sale of personally-flown aircraft, from new Diamond singles and twins through turbine aircraft like Meridians, TBMs, Pilatus, King Airs and VLJs.  

The company is also one of the largest sellers and brokers of Piper, Mooney, Cessna, Beechcraft, Cirrus and other aircraft. The company has Diamond Sales and Service Center locations in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Fort Worth, Texas and Norwood, Massachusetts.  

Every takeoff is a testament to our commitment to excellence

Premier Aircraft boasts an unrivaled wealth of brand knowledge with our sales team amassing over 330 years of combined experience in general aviation sales, covering both piston and turbine aircraft. Our team includes 10 licensed pilots, collectively boasting more than 90,000 hours of flight time. With such seasoned expertise at our disposal, we stand ready to recommend the absolute best aircraft for your needs, whether for personal or business use.
We work hard to ensure our customers receive the very best value possible, on new purchases and trades.  Your representative is personally involved in all aspects of your transaction, from advising you on the right aircraft and price point for your mission to helping you find financing and insurance, coordinating pre-buy inspections, solving problems, and overseeing the closing and delivery processes.  We are a high-integrity company, devoted to our customers, our partners and our employees. Our mission is to be the national leader in sales of high-quality, personally flown aircraft. We intend to reach our sales goal, in part, by being the best customer service company in the industry.
