Ji Ya explored several different channels for purchasing a private jet for Shen Yuan, including direct sales from manufacturers, independent agents, and comprehensive service providers.
The manufacturers offer the lowest prices, but Gulfstream and Bombardier are both import companies, which means heavy tariffs, and the purchase process is extremely cumbersome. After buying the aircraft, you still need to find service providers for the three certificates, route applications, and crew training.
Independent agents consolidate resources of all brands, reducing information asymmetry and making it convenient, but for hosting and refurbishment, you still need service providers.
In the end, they chose a comprehensive service provider for an all-in-one purchase and hosting package.
