5 Ways Consignment Boosts Your Aircraft’s Value
For aircraft owners and operators, maintaining and increasing the value of your assets is critical. Beyond routine maintenance and upgrades, aircraft consignment offers a strategic way to monetise unused parts while enhancing long-term value. At XS Aviation, we specialise in aircraft parts consignment, helping you unlock revenue and optimise your investment.
But how do we do that? Here are the top 5 ways making XS Aviation your consignment partner can boost the value of your parts:
1. Monetise Surplus Aircraft Parts
Idle inventory, like spare avionics, engines or airframe components, loses value over time. Our aviation consignment program turns unused parts into cash, maximising ROI. By selling through consignment, you avoid costly storage fees while ensuring parts are sold at fair market value.

2. Keep Your Aircraft Setup Strong
We manage your parts carefully to match your aircraft type, ensuring compatibility with your specific make and model. This helps maintain complete systems, which is critical for preserving your aircraft’s resale or lease value.

3. Ensure Traceability & Compliance
Every consigned part comes with full documentation (FAA/EASA compliant), boosting buyer trust and protecting your asset’s market value. Properly certified parts also reduce liability risks and ensure seamless integration for buyers.

4. Cost-efficiency is another major factor propelling the aftermarket. Operators are constantly looking for ways to manage expenses without compromising safety or performance. Aftermarket parts can offer savings of 30–50% compared to OEM equivalents, making them a highly attractive option. Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers are also increasingly turning to certified used or remanufactured components, further reinforcing the value proposition of this sector
5. Enhance Future Marketability
A well-supported aircraft with a verified parts history attracts premium buyers and operators. Proven maintenance and parts availability make your aircraft a more desirable and competitive asset.
