New Aircraft Delivery & Acceptance
New aircraft. Independent eyes.
A new aircraft is the result of thousands of specifications, installations, inspections and closeout decisions. Jet Karma provides independent owner-side oversight through the final stages—helping verify that the aircraft presented for delivery aligns with what was contracted, documented and expected.

Why Independent Delivery Inspections Matter
Delivery is not simply a handover date. It is the point at which unresolved details become the owner’s responsibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during new private jet delivery and acceptance?
Delivery involves a pre-delivery inspection, a review of aircraft documentation and conformity to contracted specifications, an acceptance flight, and formal transfer of title — typically over several days at the OEM’s delivery center.
Why do independent aircraft delivery inspections matter?
An independent inspection ensures discrepancies are identified and resolved before the owner accepts the aircraft and closing funds are released, rather than after — when the owner has far less leverage.
Who should attend a new aircraft delivery?
Owners often send an independent representative alongside or in place of themselves, particularly for the technical acceptance review, since it requires aircraft-specific technical knowledge.
What happens if discrepancies are found at delivery?
Discrepancies are logged and tracked to resolution with the OEM before acceptance; unresolved items are typically addressed through delivery conditions or escrow holdback.
Does delivery representation cover financing and legal closing?
Jet Karma coordinates with the owner’s legal and financing parties to align delivery timing with closing requirements, though legal and financing representation itself is handled by the owner’s own counsel and lender.
