About AFORS
Aircraft For Sale — Trusted by the aviation community since 1999
25 Years and Still Flying
AFORS has been online continuously since 1999, making it one of the longest-running aviation classifieds platforms in the UK. Founded by Alex, it has grown from a simple listings site into THE destination for anyone looking to buy, sell, or share an aircraft. His son Nick has more recently joined the project, bringing a fresh perspective and helping to modernise the platform for the next generation of pilots.
What Makes AFORS Different
Built on Trust
25 years of continuous operation means AFORS has earned the trust of the aviation community. With over 20,000 registered users and listings from across the UK and internationally, it's where serious buyers and sellers come first.
International Reach
AFORS covers listings from across the globe, including the UK, Europe, Australia, the USA, and many more countries. Whether you're buying locally or searching worldwide, you'll find it here.
Every Category of Aviation
From Light Aircraft and Vintage planes to Microlights, Gyrocopters, Gliders, Helicopters, and everything in between — AFORS covers the full spectrum of aviation. You'll also find Engines, Avionics, Hangarage, and more.
Verified Users
AFORS uses a postcard-based verification system to confirm the identity and address of its users. A physical postcard is sent to each user's address, helping ensure that the people you're dealing with are who they say they are. This adds a layer of trust and security that purely online platforms simply can't offer.
Community Driven
AFORS has always been shaped by its users. Most changes to the site come directly from feedback and suggestions from the community. Alex reads every message and responds personally — this has always been a site built for pilots, by someone who listens to pilots.
