Frequently asked questions

What World Wide Aircraft Market is, what it costs, and how buying and selling through it works.

The market

What is World Wide Aircraft Market?

An international marketplace for aircraft for sale, where every aircraft stands in a photoreal 3D hangar that opens in your browser. Each listing shows its photographs, its specifications and a map of the aerodrome where it is based; some also have a 3D model you can turn.

Who is behind it?

Llorenç Palliser Gomila, an aerospace engineering student and pilot, founded it in 2026. It is an independent, non-profit project with no company, investor or broker behind it. More on the about page.

Does it cost anything?

No. Browsing is free, listing an aircraft is free, and there is no commission on a sale.

Are you a broker or a dealer?

No. World Wide Aircraft Market is not a party to any sale. Buyers contact sellers directly, and the price, the inspection, the paperwork and the payment are agreed between them.

Which aircraft can be listed?

Any aircraft that is really for sale, anywhere in the world: single-engine and multi-engine pistons, turboprops, jets, helicopters, gyroplanes, gliders, light sport aircraft, experimental and homebuilt aircraft, warbirds and special-use aircraft.

Buying

How do I contact a seller?

From the listing: its enquiry button writes to the seller directly. We do not read or relay those messages.

Are the aircraft inspected?

Every advert is reviewed by a person before it goes live, but we do not inspect aircraft and we cannot vouch for what a seller says. Before buying, have an independent pre-purchase inspection done, read the logbooks, check the airworthiness directives and confirm the registration with the aviation authority of the country of registry.

How do I buy safely?

  • See the aircraft, or have someone you trust see it, before paying anything.
  • Check that the seller is the registered owner, or is authorised by them.
  • Be wary of a price far below the market, of pressure to decide quickly, and of requests to pay a deposit by wire transfer to an account abroad or in someone else's name.
  • For the payment, use an escrow service or a lawyer, and sign a written purchase agreement.

If a listing looks wrong, report it to us.

Can I buy an aircraft that is based in another country?

Yes — many aircraft change countries. Allow for the change of registry, the airworthiness requirements of the new country, taxes and import duties, and the ferry flight. An aviation lawyer or an experienced broker of your choosing can help.

Selling

How do I list my aircraft?

Send us its photographs and figures — the selling page lists what is needed — and we set up the advert with you. You can preview it first in the showroom's advert form.

How long does an advert stay online?

Until the aircraft is sold or you ask us to take it down. From time to time we may ask you to confirm that it is still for sale.

Can my aircraft have a 3D model?

Some listings have one. If you would like one for yours, say so when you write to us.

The showroom

Do I need to install anything?

No. The showroom runs in any modern browser, on phones, tablets and computers. It needs WebGL, which almost every browser of the last few years has.

Which languages does it speak?

39: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil), Catalan, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Malay, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Japanese and Korean. Prices, hours and dates are written the way each language writes them.

The 3D hangar does not load. What can I do?

Try an up-to-date browser, and check that hardware acceleration is switched on in its settings. Every page other than the showroom works without it. If it still fails, tell us your device and browser.
