## The problem
- An aircraft on the ground (AOG) costs thousands of dollars per day; sourcing a part from Mexico takes days of calls, emails and marketplace searches.
- Business aviation operators and repair shops in Toluca depend on a few local suppliers, with customs delays and little price and traceability transparency.
- Quoting well requires reviewing hundreds of offers (condition, 8130-3 certificates, traceability, location): manual work that limits how many requests can be handled.

## The solution
PlaneTech Air Express is a Miami-based aircraft parts broker run by an AI agent. The customer requests the part on Telegram/WhatsApp (text, photo of the data plate or voice note); the agent searches PartsBase and the global network, sends requests for quotation (RFQs) to suppliers, reads their replies (including PDFs) and generates the customer proposal with margin. A specialist with more than 10 years in the business validates every transaction before it is sent.

- Intake: the customer sends part number, quantity, condition and urgency by chat; the agent understands data plate photos and voice notes and confirms before searching.
- Sourcing: automatic search on PartsBase (hundreds of offers per part), deduplication and selection by condition, certificates and location.
- RFQ: request-for-quote emails in English to each supplier, copying the partners; automatic reading of replies and PDFs.
- Proposal: PDF to the customer with price, condition, EXW Miami terms and margin; outright sales only, no exchanges.
- Delivery: inspection in Miami, export and shipping to Toluca in 2–4 days (AOG in 24–48 h).

## Why we win
- Speed: the first to quote wins most orders; the agent quotes in hours what takes a traditional broker days.
- Coverage: each request reviews hundreds of offers and contacts every relevant supplier in a single pass.
- Margin visible to the business, hidden from the customer: pricing policy applied consistently (20% base, higher for AOG).
- Based in Miami (the parts hub of the Americas) with an anchor customer in Toluca, Mexico's main business aviation hub.

## Traction
- Operating since August 2026 with ALE (Toluca) as an active customer.
- AI agent in production: chat intake, PartsBase search, automatic RFQs, reply reading and PDF proposals.
- Real RFQs sent to suppliers (e.g., 8 suppliers for a single part number) and replies classified automatically.

## Market
| Level | Annual size | How it is calculated |
| --- | --- | --- |
| TAM | US$600 M | Spending on replacement parts for general aviation, business aviation and MRO in Mexico (estimate: ~5% of the US$11.2 B domestic aerospace market) |
| SAM | US$60 M | Toluca and Mexico City ecosystem (business operators, charter, FBOs and repair shops): ~10% of TAM |
| SOM | US$3.9 M | ~US$325k in monthly sales by month 24 (≈6% of SAM) |

## Business model
Buy-sell margin on every transaction: the customer issues its purchase order, PlaneTech buys the part from the supplier and resells it with a margin. Payment is collected as a deposit or prepayment to avoid financing the customer; working capital covers opportunistic purchases and AOG.

## The round
| Item | Proposal |
| --- | --- |
| Amount to raise | US$475,000 |
| Equity offered | 20.9% |
| Pre-money valuation | US$1,800,000 |
| Post-money valuation | US$2,275,000 |
| Runway | 24 months (excluding revenue) |
| Suggested instrument | Series Seed preferred shares or a convertible note; working capital can be structured separately as a revolving credit line |

**With these funds we will achieve:**
- Working capital to buy parts and handle AOG without waiting
- Sales team in Toluca and a full-time technical specialist
- ASA-100 / AS9120B certifications to become an approved supplier
- ~US$325k in monthly sales with ~22% gross margin
