Who we are, and what Planenest is
Before anything else: who answers for this site, and what it does exactly.
Who publishes Planenest
Oonest SRL, a Belgian private limited company whose registered office is at Boulevard Saint-Michel 113-115, 1040 Etterbeek, registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under number 0783.850.070, VAT BE 0783.850.070. To reach us: contact@planenest.com.
A marketplace for aircraft
Planenest is a European marketplace for light aircraft: aeroplanes, microlights, gliders, helicopters and aircraft shares. A seller places their advert here; a buyer finds, beside it, the adverts we read every day on the European classified sites, all in one format, in euros and in their own language. We also publish aviation job offers read elsewhere. Planenest is neither a seller nor a broker: we own no aircraft, take no commission and are a party to no sale.
Free
Searching, reading adverts, opening an account, placing an advert, writing to a seller and receiving alerts: all of it is free. Should a paid service ever appear, its terms will be shown to you before you commit to anything.
Four languages
The site and these terms exist in French, English, German and Spanish. Where two versions differ, the French one prevails.
The adverts, and what they are worth
Some adverts are placed here by their seller, the others are read on other sites. Here is what we do with each, and where that stops.
Where the adverts come from
An advert placed on Planenest says so, and its seller answers for it. An advert read elsewhere names its source and links to the original, which prevails in case of doubt; its text and photographs remain the property of their author and of the site that publishes them. When the same aircraft is advertised on several sites, we show it once, with a link to each; if it is also placed here, its seller's advert comes first.
What we do with them
We read each advert published elsewhere automatically to bring it into one format: type, year, airframe hours, country, price. That reading can be wrong, on a misread field or an ambiguous advert. We remove phone numbers and addresses from it: the seller is reached through the source. Before deciding anything, check with the source and with the seller.
Prices
A price written in another currency is converted into euros at the day's rate, as a guide. The price that binds the seller is the one they wrote, in their currency.
An advert that disappears
When an advert leaves the site it was published on, we assume it was sold or withdrawn. It stays readable here, marked as such, for the price history; a year after it left, only its first photograph remains.
Removing an advert, or a whole site
You are the seller of an advert published elsewhere and do not want it here, or you run a site we read and want out? Write to contact@planenest.com: it is removed within 48 hours, no questions asked, photographs included, and for an advert the removal is final. How we read sites is described at planenest.com/bot.
What is ours
The Planenest name and logo, the look of the site, its code, and the advert database itself: the common format, the matching of duplicates and the price history.
Buying, selling, applying
It all happens between buyer and seller, here or at the source. A few words of advice before you pay.
Where you contact the seller
For an advert placed on Planenest, you write to the seller through the site's messaging, with an account. Your message also reaches them by e-mail, under the Planenest name: neither your address nor theirs passes from one to the other. For an advert published elsewhere, or a job offer, you follow the link to the site where it is published, and the exchange happens there.
The messaging
It is for talking about an aircraft for sale. No canvassing, no bulk messages, no payment links and no requests for bank details. We do not read your conversations; we may open one to handle a report, a fraud or a request from one of the two parties.
"Sold by": the professionals
When an advert read elsewhere comes from a professional who has a website or a VAT number, we show it as "Sold by", with their name, their logo read on their own website and a page that gathers their adverts. Until they claim it, that page says they are not registered on Planenest. They can claim it from the page itself: we check that they work for the company before accepting. They can also ask us to remove it: it is done within 48 hours, and it does not come back.
The valuation
"Value my aircraft" gives the median of the asking prices for the same model, brought to the aircraft's age, when at least five adverts allow it. It is a benchmark drawn from adverts, not an appraisal nor a sale price. Nothing you enter there is stored.
Planenest is not a party to the sale
The aircraft's condition, its airworthiness, its documents, the price and the payment are settled between buyer and seller. Have the aircraft and its documents inspected before you pay.
Beware of scams
A price too good to be true, a seller who refuses a viewing or wants a deposit by bank transfer before showing you the aircraft: these are classic signs of fraud, as is a seller who asks you to leave the messaging in their very first message. Planenest will never ask you for a payment or bank details. An advert looks suspicious? Report it to us.
The adverts placed on Planenest
What you accept by placing an advert. Placing one is free.
Who may place one
You own the aircraft, or are entitled to sell it, and what the advert says about it is true to the best of your knowledge. If you start from an advert published elsewhere and tell us it is yours, we file it under yours: say so only if it is true.
Your photographs
They are yours, or you may publish them: twelve at most. The place a phone records inside a photograph is removed when you send it. We may remove a photograph that has no business there without removing the advert.
What an advert describes
One aircraft for sale. Anything else may be removed without notice.
How long it stays online
Six months. A week before the end, we ask you whether the aircraft is still for sale: one click puts it online for six more months, and without an answer it leaves the sale. If the advert for the same aircraft disappears from another site, we ask you the question at once, and without an answer the advert leaves the sale a week later. From My adverts you can at any time edit it, mark it sold, withdraw it or put it back online.
When it leaves the sale
Its page stays readable, marked sold or withdrawn, with its price history, its description and its photographs. Closing your account withdraws your adverts still on sale in the same way.
What we may remove
An advert that looks misleading or fraudulent, and we tell you why. Planenest is not a party to the sale: the price, the inspection, the payment and the transfer are between you and the buyer.
Selling from Planenest
What the site does with your advert, and what changes for a company or a club.
The buyers' messages
Buyers write to you through the site's messaging, with an account. Each message also reaches you by e-mail, and you can answer from your mailbox: the answer comes back into the conversation. Your address is never shown. The advert shows your pseudonym or the name of your organisation, and your phone number only if you ask for it.
The translation
Your description is translated automatically into the site's other languages, by an artificial intelligence tool. The translation says so, and your original text stays readable beside it: it is the one that prevails.
The poster
For an advert online, you can print a "For sale" poster with a QR code that leads to the advert. It never shows your phone number.
For a company or a club
An organisation (a company, a broker, a club) holds its adverts. The person who places one is its contact; the other members manage it too and answer the buyers. An organisation may ask to be verified: we read its VAT number in VIES, the European Commission's register, its members' e-mail addresses and its adverts, then we decide. The "verified" badge says the company exists and its members are linked to it; it guarantees neither the aircraft nor the sale, and we may withdraw it.
A broker's catalogue
A broker whose claim we have accepted can take over, as Planenest adverts, the aircraft that the classified sites attribute to them. By ticking "these are mine", they guarantee that the text and photographs of those adverts are their own, or that they are entitled to publish them; without that box, only the specifications are taken over.
Your account, and what we expect of everyone
The site is open and the account optional. Here is what it offers, and what is not allowed.
What an account offers
Writing to sellers and following your conversations, placing and managing adverts, selling for an organisation, keeping adverts aside, hiding the ones that do not interest you, and saving searches with their alerts. You open it with an e-mail address, or with Google or Facebook. Other members see your pseudonym, never your name.
What we expect of you
Being 16 or older, a valid email address that is yours, and a password you keep to yourself. What is done from your account is deemed done by you.
Alerts
With or without an account. Without one, you give an e-mail address, and the alert only starts once you open the confirmation link we send there. An alert is only sent if you asked for it, and every message lets you stop it in one click. We send them as best we can, but an alert can arrive late or miss an advert: do not rely on it alone for an urgent deal.
Closing an account
From My account, at any time: we ask for your address and your password (an account opened with Google or Facebook first gives itself one). Your adverts still on sale are withdrawn; what is deleted is set out in the privacy policy. For our part, we may suspend or close an account used against these terms, writing to you first unless it is urgent.
No bulk copying
Every advert is read, brought into one format, matched with its duplicates and followed over time: that is our work, and it has value. Extracting the site's content in bulk, by robot or otherwise, to republish or reuse it elsewhere is not allowed without our written consent. A search engine crawler that identifies itself and respects our robots.txt remains welcome.
Do no harm
No intrusion attempts, no deliberate overloading, no getting around the site's protections, no impersonation. Sharing a link to an advert or a search, on the other hand, is what the site is for.
What we guarantee, and if we disagree
What we can promise, what we cannot, and the law that applies.
The site as it is
We do our best to keep adverts accurate, complete and current, and the site available. We cannot guarantee it: a source can change, a reading or a translation can be wrong, and the site can be interrupted for maintenance.
Our liability
We are not liable for a decision made on the strength of an advert, nor for what happens between a buyer and a seller. Nothing in these terms excludes our liability where the law forbids it, in particular for intentional or gross misconduct.
Other sites
Our links lead to sites we do not control. Their content, their terms and the way they handle your data are their own.
When these terms change
The date at the top of the page shows the latest version. If a change significantly affects accounts, we announce it by email before it applies.
Governing law
These terms are governed by Belgian law. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence. Failing an amicable settlement, the courts of Brussels have jurisdiction, unless a consumer protection rule designates others.
If we disagree
Write to us first at contact@planenest.com: a person reads every message. If we cannot agree, you can turn to the Consumer Mediation Service, Boulevard du Roi Albert II 8 box 1, 1000 Brussels, consumerombudsman.be.
A mistake in an advert?
A misread price, a sold aircraft still showing, an advert that should not be here: tell us, and we correct it or remove it within 48 hours.
We update this page when the service changes, and the date at the top shows the latest version. Last updated: 19 October 2026.
