Testimonials
"We have done a number of transactions with GPK Aviation over the years. Greg Gilleland and his team are among the highest integrity people we work with. They do what they say and do it when they say they will. With GPK Aviation there are never any surprises."

"I have been supporting the acquisition of aircraft on behalf of GPK Aviation for over 16 years. All of our transactions have been successful and always handled professionally. Greg Gilleland is one of the most knowledgeable dealers in the industry I know and a valued member of our growing dealer network. I should know I have made 37 aircraft loans for a total of $56,000,000.00. Enterprise Bank & Trust is proud to have GPK as a customer and would recommend his services to any individual or company seeking to purchase an Aircraft."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Muller and GPK Aviation on the sale of our King Air 350. The transaction was made easy due to Steve’s above and beyond professionalism and personal touch. Steve’s meticulous approach to details and his honesty in delivering the deal is how business is meant to be done. We will continue to work with Steve and GPK Aviation in the future. I have and will continue to recommend their service to colleagues and clients."

"I have known Greg Gilleland, owner of GPK Aviation since 1987. Greg has been an employee, customer and I have been a customer of his since that time. In my 44 years of aviation I have come to know most everyone in the aviation business and I can assure anyone that if I had to pick the top five companies to do business with, GPK Aviation would be on the list. Honesty, integrity and good business practices sometimes all hard to find in one company but you will find all at GPK Aviation."

"Over the past years, our company, an Australian energy and mining services provider, has purchased a B200 King Air and a Beechcraft Premier 1A through Steve. Being an Australian company and purchasing U.S based aircraft, had its challenges, which Steve guided us through step by step and left no stone unturned. Whatever questions we had, he would have an answer for almost immediately and turned these purchases into quite simple, well organized tasks. Both aircraft were purchased in a timely manner and one of the deals was complete in less than 2 weeks, which we would not have been able to achieve without Steve. When the time came to sell our Premier 1A our one and only call was to Steve. He oversaw the import of the aircraft back into the United States and sold it in a very professional and timely manner.
It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Steve and the professionals at GPK Aviation."

"GPK Aviation was unbelievably helpful to our clients when in the market for pre-owned aircraft. Greg and his team did an outstanding job searching the pre-owned market to find the best possible fit and followed through on all promises to meet our goals.
Throughout the entire interaction, they provided exceptional customer service, were always responsive, kept us informed and understood the end goal.
I recommend GPK Aviation and the entire team if you are in the market for a pre-owned aircraft."

"I have had the pleasure of working in the aircraft industry for just over 37 years, initially in aircraft sales and for the last 27 years owning and/or managing an aircraft operating company and an aircraft owning company. During this time I have had the pleasure of initially having Steve Muller as an employee in South Africa and then dealing with him after he started selling aircraft in the USA in 2004. In total to date I would guess we must have bought and sold around 20 aircraft that he was directly involved in.
We are somewhat old fashioned in our approach to business in that we are firm believers in honesty and integrity, to the point where we will not, by choice, do business with people we do not trust. Steve has earned our trust in every respect, not only in the fact that he is very knowledgeable but more importantly due to his impeccable honesty, and on top of that he is really easy to deal with. I am sure that these are a large part of the reason why a remarkably high percentage of the aircraft sales/purchases that he is involved with is repeat business.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Steve and GPK Aviation if you are looking to buy or sell an aircraft.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any clarification."

"GPK Aviation is a fantastic company to work with, their professionalism and integrity are second to none."
Jeffrey Thorn, Director of Maintenance/Pre-Owned Sales

"We have had the opportunity to work with Steve over the years, once in the sale of an aircraft that we owned, and again in an acquisition of a King Air B200. Both deals involved some unique and even extraordinary challenges. Steve was in the middle of the fray and met those challenges with creativity, diligence, and perseverance.
We particularly appreciated his attention to detail, ready accessibility, "deal-wise" knowledge, and rapid response in helping to put all the pieces in their proper place.
We have been very satisfied with our experiences with Steve, and we look forward to an opportunity to working with GPK Aviation again."

"To Whom It May Concern:
Our company has been doing business with Steve since 2004. We have purchased two King Air 200 aircraft and completed several engine transactions. Both aircraft we purchased were located outside the U.S. and had numerous obstacles. These deals would never have happened if it were not for Steve’s tenacity! Steve thinks outside the box and makes deals happen in a very professional manner. I highly recommend GPK Aviation for the sale or purchase of your next aircraft.
Please contact me if you have any questions."
