Apex Aviation continues James Markel & Associates' tradition of excellence providing custom tailored consulting services to organizations operating or contemplating the use of business and air carrier aircraft. From aircraft appraisals to flight department audits to feasibility studies and aircraft acquisition projects, Apex's seasoned personnel deliver objective results in a timely manner.

Our membership in various corporate aviation industry associations keeps us on the leading edge of industry trends and in close contact with the movers and shakers within our industry. As one of the early and influential members of the National Aircraft Resale Association (NARA), JMA brought to the table a wealth of experience and benchmarked industry standards for the resale of turbine powered business aircraft - standards that we helped establish. NARA is corporate aviation's premier organization of dealers and brokers of pre-owned aircraft. NARA Members are committed to the highest ethical standards in the industry as well as using the most technically advanced information and marketing tools available.

Additionally, Apex belongs to the following industry associations: Flight Safety Foundation, International Society of Transport Aircraft Trading, National Aircraft Finance Association, National Business Aviation Association, and National Air Transportation Association. Our CEO, Jim Markel, one of 17 certified Senior Appraisers worldwide, recently completed two years' service as a Governor of the International Appraisers Board.

Over the years we have developed and maintained an impressive proprietary computer database garnered with an accumulation of industry insiders. This tool, along with the recognized JMA name, affords us access to the important decision makers within corporate aviation. We spend in excess of $30,000 per year maintaining aircraft owner/operator databases alone.
