Get an aircraft ferry quote

The request goes to the Settle Ferry Group team with everything you entered, and the next step is a reply by phone, text or email, whichever you listed first. That reply either confirms the details or asks about anything the form could not capture, such as open maintenance items, avionics that do not work, or a firm deadline on the receiving end. From there the quote is built around the route. It pairs a pilot day rate, which depends on whether the airplane is a single or a twin, with the number of days the trip realistically takes, then adds the expenses that trip incurs: fuel, airport fees, lodging and meals on the road, and the pilot's travel to reach the airplane and get home. If a special flight permit is needed, the quote says so. Nothing is scheduled until you approve it. If your timeline is tight, call or text (972) 559-0871 as well.

The tail number is the single most useful detail you can send, because it identifies the exact make, model, engine and registration in one step, and it lets the pilot check the airplane's public registration record before quoting. It is not strictly required, though. If you are still shopping and do not have a specific airplane yet, send the make and model you are considering, the rough starting region, and where it would need to go. That is enough for a ballpark figure built on typical cruise speed and fuel burn for the type. The number will tighten once a specific airplane is under contract and its location, condition and inspection status are known. Buyers often find it useful to request a ballpark early, before the purchase closes, so delivery cost and timing are part of the decision instead of a surprise afterward. Just say in the notes that the airplane is not purchased yet.
