About

Stone Aviation International (SAI) was founded in 2002 to provide aircraft sales and acquisition services to the commercial and military aircraft markets in the United States and abroad.

Initially founded as a trading company for small and medium sized corporate aircraft, SAI has since expanded its international footprint to offer specialized project management ranging from helicopter component certifications to commercial aircraft acquisitions and P2F freighter conversions.

SAI has the capabilities of a large company with the flexibility of a small team. Our lean methods and strategic vendor partnerships enable us to approach complex projects with great efficiencies. After two decades of building this model, our clients realize the shortest lead times and lowest project costs in the industry.

Clients who have partnered with us have relied on our expertise and partnerships for decades–and they’ve come to expect and appreciate our significantly reduced costs and lead times. For major components such as propellers, landing gear & engines to freighter conversions you’ll find no better team than SAI.
