As a result of the pandemic, the demand for private and business aircraft grew so fast that some customers looking for in-demand aircraft might skip the pre-buy inspection to save time or money. That can be problematic if customers later discover maintenance issues that they overlooked by skipping the pre-buy. With that in mind, a new company called Crew Chiefs, based in White Plains, New York, was established to offer buyers an expedited option.

Launched this week, Crew Chiefs provides on-site aircraft maintenance professionals worldwide to oversee pre-buy or other inspections on behalf of the buyer, the seller, or other clients. In a statement, Chris Buchholz, Crew Chiefs founder and CEO, said his company’s software provides customized solutions for customers to streamline the pre-buy inspection process.
