HOW IT WORKS
How booking aircraft detailing works
01
Book in about ninety seconds
Five steps online: the aircraft, the service, its condition, where the aircraft is, and how to reach you. No account and no card are needed to ask.
02
A person confirms scope, price and timing
A person at Global Ties Aviation reviews the aircraft and confirms the scope, the price and the timing with you. Nothing is scheduled or charged without your approval.
03
The work is documented to the aircraft record
The products used, the quality checkpoints and the photographs are written to the aircraft record, so the next owner, mechanic or inspector can read what was done.
GTA ACADEMY BY GLOBAL TIES AVIATION
Train as an aircraft detailer. Level 1 is free.
Six weeks and all three certification levels are free with any of our support plans (Launch, Operator or Command), which are paid monthly. Without a plan, Level 1, the Certified Aircraft Appearance Professional (CAAP) Foundation certification, is still free. Every place opens only after a person at Global Ties Aviation approves it.
Hold all three and you are a Certified Aircraft Appearance Professional (CAAP): a professional certification issued by Global Ties Aviation, not an FAA certificate.
CERTIFICATION 1 · FOUNDATION
CAAP Foundation
The holder knows the aviation environment, the aircraft, the approved chemistry and the protocol that keeps an aircraft and its crew safe.
CERTIFICATION 2 · INTERIOR
CAAP Interior
The holder was trained and assessed to the GTA Standard for aircraft interior care: flight deck, cabin, soft goods, galley, lavatory and protection.
CERTIFICATION 3 · EXTERIOR
CAAP Exterior
The holder was trained and assessed to the GTA Standard for aircraft exterior care: washing, brightwork, correction within limits, ceramic coating and protection.
THE PROBLEM
A dozen relationships. None of them talk to each other.
Broker, escrow, title, pre-buy, insurance, finance, maintenance, parts, paint, interior, transport, appearance. Every handoff is friction the owner absorbs.
THE RESOLUTION
Verify once. Transact everywhere.
One identity clears you for services and the marketplace. One record follows the aircraft, and every documented job adds to it.
MARKETPLACE
Unverified listings don’t get published.
Verified sellers list, verified buyers transact, and Global Ties Aviation takes 2% from the seller on completion. Buyers pay nothing.
The inventory is behind the door on purpose: every listing is human-verified, and so is every browser. Join the marketplace waitlist, a person verifies you, and the aircraft open up.
THE HUB
Work posted. Work taken. Careers launched.
THE WORK NETWORK
Owners and FBOs post the work; verified specialists, detailers to A&Ps, take it. A person confirms every match.

- Global Ties Aviation scopes detailing for piston and turboprop aircraft, light, midsize, super-midsize and heavy business jets, helicopters and airliners in VIP configuration, from a Cirrus SR22 or King Air 350 to a Gulfstream G650 or BBJ. The booking form takes every one of these classes, and a person confirms the scope and the price for your aircraft.
- How much does aircraft detailing cost?
- Aircraft detailing has no sticker price at Global Ties Aviation, because the aircraft class, its condition, the scope, labour rates and the travel to reach the aircraft all move the number.

THE RECORD
The aircraft becomes more valuable for having lived here.
Every service is written to the record, so the care an aircraft received can be read rather than taken on trust. All in one, for aviation.
