Van Bortel Aircraft - International Sales

International Sales

Thank you for your interest in Van Bortel Aircraft, home of the finest Cessnas available. As you may know, Van Bortel Aircraft supplies only the lowest time, always hangared, original condition, corrosion free single engine Cessnas to aviators worldwide. To accomplish this, first we scout the United States and Canada for the lowest time, well maintained Cessnas. Then each plane is subjected to a thorough and exhaustive inspection of the engine, airframe and avionics before being offered for sale. Also all logs are checked and all A/D's and Service Bulletins reviewed for compliance. Every possible detail is attended to.

We manage all aspects of export and delivery. We are very experienced with the process of exporting aircraft; we have exported hundreds of Cessnas all over the world.

Our entire inventory is at our location in Arlington Municipal Airport (GKY), Arlington Texas, 20 miles south of Dallas Fort Worth Airport.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
