Exchange/ Sale of Aircraft
GSA helps reduce federal waste by supporting efforts to sell or reuse older assets. As aircraft age, government agencies can work with GSA to modernize their fleets by exchanging or selling aircraft for newer replacements. The proceeds from an exchange or sale can be used to pay for part or all of the new aircraft.
