Simply speaking, Charlie Bravo Aviation “pushes tin.” The company combines hard work and integrity with innovative marketing and in-depth industry analysis to buy and sell corporate aircraft better than anyone else.

Located just off the airport in Georgetown, Texas, Charlie Bravo is an aviation consulting company and a broker and dealer of business jets and turboprops. With more than 30 years combined experience, the company helps small and large clients alike maximize their aviation investments.

Charlie Bravo Aviation…

• buys, sells, trades, and brokers aircraft,
• determines accurate market valuations,
• facilitates every aspect of an aircraft transaction including inspections, negotiations, import/export arrangements, financing, etc.
• markets aircraft in traditional outlets and with strategic word-of-mouth campaigns,
• maintains a vast network of related professionals, so that every aspect of aviation management is at the clients’ fingertips.

Charlie Bravo Aviation was founded in 2008 by Rene Banglesdorf, who then brought in industry veterans Curt Banglesdorf and Jason Watts to manage sales and acquisitions. Since its inception, Charlie Bravo has tripled its staff to include specialists covering nearly every line of popular business jet and turboprop available on the market.

In 2009, the company became the first broker and dealer of aircraft to hold a woman-owned business certification. This gives our clients that participate in supplier diversity programs a distinct advantage in meeting their goals.

The sales team at Charlie Bravo Aviation believes knowledge is king. Thus, our staff is structured in a way that each member of the team researches and specializes in a specific type of aircaft. They make calls to owners and their representatives around the world to ensure they know everything about on-market planes and often have a wealth of information about aircraft that are not advertised but may be available.

It is Charlie Bravo's goal to be the best aircraft broker and dealer in the world...armed with the most up-to-date market data and the best connections in the industry.

Our dedication to high ethical standards and a strong work ethic shows in our branding with World War II flair, industry affiliations, and corporate sponsorship of Veteran Outdoors.

Charlie Bravo Aviation consults with and represents some of the world’s most prestigious aircraft owners.

Here’s what a few clients have to say:

"You better be sure you are ready to buy or sell when you call Charlie Bravo… Curt found both my Citations in a couple weeks and had the deal closed in even less time than that! Again recently, I called him and told him what I wanted in a newer Citation, and you guessed it, by the very next day he had located one! I am an experienced owner/operator with more than 15 aircraft transactions. I have found Curt effective and fun to deal with. He gets the job done!"

Dr. Ron C. Bingham
Owner, EMG Clinics of Tennessee

"When it comes time to buy or sell your airplane, you don't want advice from someone who knew the market a year ago. The staff at Charlie Bravo is in touch with today's market. Their real-time knowledge can save you money by not wasting your time."

Fletcher Aldredge, Publisher
Vref Aircraft Value Reference

"Before we even listed our CJ, Charlie Bravo Aviation brought a buyer to us and the deal was closed in five days from start to finish. I can’t help but think that all their hard work, acquired knowledge and keen eye on the market enabled us to have the results we did in the time frame we had hoped for.

When it comes to pilots or brokers I rarely give endorsements, but I will gladly pass along Charlie Bravo’s name to anyone asks about our CJ sale. It truly was a pleasure to do business with them, and I look forward to our paths crossing down the road again."
