As my "business english" is a little limited and I could not get the information from the manual I have some questions about the brokerage system. I understand that brokers may  :wink: accept orders for aircrafts for reduced prices which is an advantage to the regular order from the manufacturer. I have seen something in the forum that confuses me. When I place an order at the manufacturer I will have to pay the complete price in advance. I saw somewhere that giving an order to a broker I will have to pay a part of it first and the rest when it arrives. Is that true? If so will it take the same time to be delivered as if I had ordered the aircrafts from the manufacturer? Are there other advantages to order from a broker or are there disadvantages? Does the discount depend on the amount of aircrafts I order? Thanks.

3. ? Does this mean if I pay the whole money right after the broker accepted I will receive the aircrafts without any delivery time?

Ok, see if I got it. Lets say I plan to introduce 10 L-1049 into service but do not have the whole money right now. I place the order at a broker and take 5 of those on the second day and 5 on the third day, right?

You place the order (70% of the value you need to place)... the broker accepts it... then it takes 24 hours for the plane to arrive. then you got 3 days to buy it..

You place the order at 35% downpayment up front. Then wait for someone (or a specific broker if you could to private an airline) to accept it. Then wait for the plane to be delivered. The delivery time is as usual, like you buy from the manufacturer, which in this case would be 48 hours (for Connie's). Then the plane would be delivered directly to you for pick up in your incoming private offers page. You have 72 hours to pay the remainder of the $$, and take the planes.

Could someone please explain in simple English what the "markup" is? If this is a negative value say -3% does it mean I will buy it for list price-3%?
