Global aircraft brokerage company Hatt & Associates takes off with new offices in Colorado, Arizona

PHOENIX, Feb. 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brad Hatt, a 35-year global aviation leader, today announced the launch of Hatt & Associates, an independently-owned global aircraft sales business. The company, which formally stood up last month, has already generated significant buzz in the aviation community through a strong legacy of experience and vast global aviation network.

"We are incredibly excited to begin cementing Hatt & Associates as a household name in the business aviation community," said Hatt, founder and President of Hatt & Associates. "Make no mistake – the Hatt name is not a new one in the global aviation space, and we're proud to bring decades of experience in international aircraft acquisition, brokerage and pre-buy management experience to the table. That commitment to service is our differentiator and what helps our clients make the most out of their dollar."

From financing to takeoff, the Colorado-based aircraft broker with offices in Denver, Scottsdale, San Jose, Wichita and Dubai provides clients with aircraft transaction management assistance at every step of the sales process. Paired with the founder's more than 35 years of aviation sales experience, Hatt believes these attributes offer clients a smarter, more efficient means of acquiring and selling business aircraft.

"In today's marketplace, few companies are well-positioned to serve their customers better than Hatt & Associates," he explained. "We offer global experience in nearly all facets of business aviation, and we can help clients successfully identify, fulfill and manage every detail of their aviation needs."

Hatt, previously co-founder and managing partner of Soujourn Aviation and President of Commercial Business at Hawker Beechcraft, has amassed an impressive aviation sales resume with major companies in the past three decade. However, according to Hatt, the decision to embark on a start-up venture was purely personal.

"My main goal was to start a family business, and Hatt & Associates allows me to do just that," Hatt said. "I wanted to leave my son, an integral part of my business team, a professional legacy he could capitalize on."

As for the aviation sales company's projected future, Hatt believes there are a number of exciting landmarks in store.

"Our goal is to establish Hatt & Associates as a leader in aviation transaction on a global scale," Hatt explained. "Given our strong heritage of experience, tremendous network of industry professionals and unparalleled service, over the next decade, we expect Hatt & Associates poised to be one of the premier business aircraft sales, brokerage, acquisition and consulting companies in the industry."

But most importantly, as Hatt assures, the most tangible achievement will come via their client's saved dollars through the aircraft transaction process.

"Above all else, Hatt & Associates offers unparalleled service and support to our customers. By having a keen sense of current and future aircraft value, we help our clients aquire and operate business aircraft with maximized value — each and every time."
