Serendipity Aircraft Sales

Aradian Aviation Ltd is a distinguished aircraft sales and management company, established in the picturesque Guernsey, Channel Islands in 1995 by Steve Rogers. The company's foundation is deeply rooted in Steve's extensive aviation background that spans over half a century, comprising of an array of experiences such as flying for British Airways, serving as a flight instructor, operating various charter operations and major corporations in Southern England, and becoming a Citation type rating examiner. His tenure as a sales/demonstration pilot for the UK Raytheon agent, where he set up flight operations across the globe, ultimately led him to the realm of aviation sales.

In 1998, Aradian Aviation Ltd forged a strategic alliance with Dion Robotham of Serendipity Aircraft Sales Ltd, a well-established and renowned aircraft brokerage company in the United Kingdom. Originally, both entities were competitors before deciding to collaborate on projects and integrate their resources to operate under the banner of Aradian Aviation Ltd. Dion contributed his rich experience in aviation sales, which included a stint with a minor aircraft manufacturer.

In 2007, the company witnessed the addition of Antony Rivolta to the partnership, who brought with him an abundance of experience in aviation sales from Bombardier and British Aerospace. Antony broadened the company's horizons with his extensive knowledge of charter, aircraft management, and fractional ownership schemes.

In 2018, Patricio Zunino Centeno (Pato) joined the partnership, infusing younger blood and years of experience as an aviation sales manager at one of Spain's largest aviation management operations, along with extensive experience in South and Central America.

Aradian Aviation Ltd has expanded to include representatives in numerous regions worldwide, including Spain, Germany, Central Asia, South Africa, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and the United States. Our dedicated accounts and research staff support our global team in maintaining a smooth operation.
