Columbia Aircraft has unveiled an
innovative new program designed to assist aircraft owners with the
resale of their current aircraft so they can more easily step up to
a new Columbia. The program is called “Flip the Bird 1, 2,
3” because it helps owners resell (flip) their current
aircraft (the bird) as easy as “1, 2, 3.”
Flip the Bird is an all encompassing program that logically and
painlessly walks the aircraft owner through the process of
reselling their aircraft by providing access to sales tools and
aviation experts in various disciplines who can make the process
seamless. Flip the Bird combines the efforts of reputable and
successful national aircraft brokerages, aircraft finance experts,
aviation insurance experts and free advertising. Never before has
one company assembled such a comprehensive, yet simple program that
makes it so easy for aircraft owners to realize the dream of owning
a Columbia.
Key participants helping aircraft owners Flip the Bird
include:
- Columbia Resale – Specializing in the resale of premium,
pre-owned Columbia aircraft.
- Alaris Aviation – Specializing in the resale of all
brands of pre-owned aircraft.
- Columbia Aircraft Finance – Providing free, no obligation
loan pre-qualification.
- Columbia Aircraft Owners Insurance – Providing preferred
rate quotes and higher liability limits to qualified new Columbia
purchasers.
- Advocate Tax Consulting – Providing expert aviation
taxation consultation.
- Trade-A-Plane – Providing three-months of pre-paid
classified listings.
“Demand for Columbia aircraft has increased exponentially
over the past 12 months,” stated Randy S. Bolinger, vice
president of sales & marketing at Columbia. “Many owners
are prepared to step up to a premium aircraft with greater speed
and range, but first need to sell the aircraft they currently own
– so we’re making it easier to do just that.”
The program is supported by a special section on the Columbia
Aircraft Web site. On the site, visitors can take a fun and
informative quiz that helps illustrate why they really need a new
aircraft. Once an aircraft owner realizes that they are ready to
own the “Best of the Best,” Columbia will assist with
the details so more pilots can realize the dream. After taking a
demonstration flight in a Columbia 350 or 400, Columbia will ship a
free aircraft detailing kit, free “For Sale” signs and
prop banners and will even pre-pay for three months of classified
ads in Trade-A-Plane.
“We’re simply trying to help aircraft owners enjoy
the two best days of their lives – the day they sell their
current aircraft and the day they step up to a Columbia,”
Bolinger said.
