Why Structure Matters

Advice is only as independent as the structure behind it.

In any intermediated market, recommendations are shaped by how the advisor is paid, where their deal flow originates, and what obligations sit behind the introduction.

Most of that structure is invisible from the principal's side of the table — which is why Amjet built a firm where there is nothing to look behind. We serve one principal in each transaction, without reciprocal broker obligations, inventory positions, or internal trading conflicts.

The result is practical, not philosophical: tighter confidentiality, a stronger negotiating position, and counsel with no stake in the answer.

The Broker Effect™ — The Full Framework

A Principal's Experience

"We recently sold our business jet with the help of Scott Rogers and Amjet Aviation. The plane had previously been listed, unsuccessfully, with three large brokerage companies — none had the experience and depth of knowledge it would take to sell it at a good price. Other firms gave us low valuations or questionable advice. Amjet was the only company that offered a visual inspection before the listing agreement was signed. I would equate choosing Scott Rogers at Amjet to getting the best possible broker at any of the bigger firms — without the substantial risk of being assigned anyone else."

At Amjet, your Senior Aviation Advisor handles every stage of your transaction — every call, every decision, from first conversation through closing. Senior enough to make decisions in the room.

The advisor you meet is the advisor who executes.

The person who leads the strategy call leads the transaction. Accountable by name, available throughout.

Atlanta & Zürich — senior teams on both sides of the Atlantic. One firm, one standard, no handoffs.

The Amjet Model

Advisory first. Representation when appropriate.

The best representation begins with independent advice — and independent advice is only possible when it is not contingent on a deal being done.

That is why Amjet's advisory stage is a standalone, fixed-fee engagement, delivered before any representation decision and owed whether or not a transaction follows. You see our work before you commit to anything further. Deliberately so.

Structured market insight, valuation perspective, and transaction planning prior to formal engagement or exclusivity — informing timing, positioning, and risk so you can decide with clarity.

Advisory First. Representation When Appropriate.

Most aircraft brokers work toward a transaction from the first conversation — because the transaction is where they get paid.

You see our work before representation — At Amjet, the engagement is structured differently. Deliberately so. We believe the best representation begins with independent advice — and that independent advice is only possible when it is not contingent on a deal being done.

The Rogers family has been in aviation since before Amjet existed — and in the aircraft transaction business since April 1976, when Scott and Tom Rogers established Laurel Flying Service. What followed was not a straight line. The firm grew through aircraft operations, servicing, dealing, and dealer-brokerage — each phase building the institutional knowledge that the next one required.

The decision to exit inventory in 2008 — before the market moved — was not a pivot. It was the conclusion of five decades of pattern recognition. Scott and Amanda Rogers have led Amjet through every phase since.

2026 marks fifty years since those doors first opened.

The Rogers Family · Since 1976

A family firm. Fifty years in the making.

The Rogers family has been in aviation since before Amjet existed — and in the aircraft transaction business since April 1976, when Scott and Tom Rogers established Laurel Flying Service. What followed was not a straight line. The firm grew through aircraft operations, servicing, dealing, and dealer-brokerage — each phase building the institutional knowledge the next one required.

The decision to exit inventory in December 2007 — before the market moved — was not a pivot. It was the conclusion of three decades of pattern recognition. Scott and Amanda Rogers have led Amjet through every phase since. 2026 marks fifty years since those doors first opened.
