M&A Advisory

With our dedicated aviation industry focus, Seabury Group offers investors in this industry unique support services. Our analytic models have given clients invaluable insights into future revenue projections, market dynamics and potential business or operational enhancements. We also provide insight into labor, maintenance, airports, fuel and other costs, and how they can be expected to change over time. With the deal completed, Seabury’s advisory services can recommend initiatives to fully capture the value of a merger or acquisition.

Key services are:

Due diligence & business planning

Seabury has completed due diligence engagements for a variety of investors looking at airline, aerospace or MRO assets. Unlike generalist advisors, Seabury’s due diligence is informed by years of industry-specific experience. We bring a deep appreciation of details to our analysis of investment targets, forecasting market-specific air travel demand levels, for example, and the precise evolution of costs in all areas. Typically in all of our engagements we provide our clients business planning tools in which simple scenarios with ever changing market dynamics can be tested after the engagement.

Post-merger integration

For investors seeking success in an airline merger, Seabury’s capabilities are unmatched. The value of many mergers has been lost when organizations failed to capture forecasted benefits. Seabury clients, to the contrary, have overwhelmingly enjoyed successful outcomes, leveraging our project management skills and our unparalleled experience with best practices in the airline industry. Seabury can offer clients comprehensive program management services for clients effecting mergers, and we can create management tracking tools for them. Our clients also gain from our experience in cost reduction and labor transformation and from our unrivaled ability to help an aviation business achieve its full potential.
