Bates Jet Inc.
Frederick, Maryland, United States
Bates Jet appears to be a firm-level aircraft brokerage/dealer rather than an individual broker listing. Its official site positions the company around research-heavy buyer acquisition, seller marketing, possible direct aircraft purchase, leasing/finance sourcing and consulting, with emphasis on business jets and larger jet transactions. Public directories corroborate the identity and category fit, but current independent review and deal-history signals are limited.
