Ferry and Delivery
Aircraft movements require more than a flight plan. Apex provides ferry and delivery services that manage the operational detail, permissions, routing, and ground handling, so the aircraft arrives safely, on time, and with clear documentation.
What we deliver
Ferry and delivery covers the planned movement of an aircraft from one location to another, including repositioning, purchase delivery, maintenance movements, and operational transfers. We coordinate the route and the practicalities so owners, buyers, and stakeholders do not carry the operational burden.
- Purchase delivery flights and handover support
- Repositioning and operational transfers
- Maintenance and inspection movements
- Return to service movements following work completion
- Time critical aircraft movements, subject to operational constraints

Managing risk and protecting the schedule
The purpose of professional ferry and delivery support is to reduce risk and protect delivery dates. We focus on structured communications and practical contingency planning.
- Defined points of contact and predictable update cadence
- Contingency planning for weather and operational constraints
- Clear handover requirements, keys, documents, and delivery sign off
- Coordination of onward steps after arrival, including maintenance intake or buyer handover
Documentation and handover discipline
Owners and buyers need confidence that the movement is complete, with the right records and confirmations. We keep documentation clear, and handovers structured.
- Confirmation of route, timings, and completion status
- Practical handover coordination and arrival checks
- Support for delivery documentation requirements, agreed case by case
Common delivery scenarios
We regularly support ferry and delivery needs such as:
- Aircraft purchase delivery to a new base or country
- Ferry to a maintenance facility, and return post maintenance
- Repositioning for charter, operations, or seasonal requirements
- Time critical movements for business continuity or operational readiness
Ferry and delivery FAQs
What information do you need to quote a ferry or delivery flight?
Aircraft type, current location, destination, required timing, and the handover requirements at each end. If timing is flexible, share the window and we will optimise routing and availability.
Can you deliver internationally?
Yes. International delivery is planned around routing, permissions, handling, and operational constraints. We will provide a clear plan and realistic timings.
Do you coordinate ground handling?
Yes. We coordinate handling requirements as part of the movement plan, including fuel and turnaround planning, where applicable.
How do you manage schedule risk?
We plan contingencies, agree decision points, and provide clear updates.All movements remain subject to weather, airport restrictions, and operational approvals.
Can you coordinate delivery to maintenance facilities?
Yes. We can coordinate the movement into a maintenance facility, align intake timing, and support the return movement once work is complete.
Is this service confidential?
Yes. We work discreetly and communicate directly with the nominated point of contact.
