Dennis Rousseau has been in business aviation for 40 years and is the founder and President of AircraftPost specializing in strategic planning and mark to market valuations. The company designed and developed a web-based program that tracks and monitors data on over 9,000 business jets and then translates this into ‘real time’ value.

In 1978, Dennis blended his passion for medicine and aviation by teaming with the innovator of the condensed version of the cardiac pacemaker, to become one of the first companies to utilize helicopters for offshore EMS. He was also in the forefront of utilizing helicopters for newsgathering with an NBC affiliate in Houston.

Dennis branched off to the management and sales of business jets with Jet 66 Corporation. The company was among the first to offer its FAR 135 certificate to flight departments as a means to defray costs.  Dennis is an advocate of employing innovative sales and management strategies and continues to promote a strong cohesive team concept to the administration of business jets.

In 1989 Dennis founded TRC Inc as an aircraft-consulting group to represent clients’ interests in management transactions and aircraft acquisitions. With no single source to turn for valuation of aircraft, Dennis saw an opportunity to synthesize the tremendous volume of disparate data into one resource. His passion for creating innovative solutions led him to transform a valuation methodology into a science with AirCraftValuator. 

In 2005, with a team of doctoral experts specializing in decision sciences and information technology, Dennis built the next generation AircraftPost.com. The company specializes in current generation business jets within the Falcon, Gulfstream and Bombardier lines, as well as select Hawkers and Citations. AircraftPost is committed to providing a comprehensive, ‘real time’ information resource that is transforming the industry and providing a seamless partnership between the flight department, owners and brokers.

Dennis has been a guest speaker at functions such as Aviation Managers Roundtable, Dassault Falcon Aviation Professionals Conference and Bombardier’s Valuation seminar, among others.  In addition, he’s been a contributing writer to many industry publications; Bluebook Marketline, Business and Commercial Aviation, Aviation International News, Top Flight and Fly Corporate.

AircraftPost is recognized for its specialized approach to business jet value, relying in part on the principle of value additivity and calculating values based on aircraft having a defined life cycle, incorporating age based depreciation. Our proprietary methodology also takes into account major scheduled maintenance events, global economic data and calculated return on capital expenditure, further defining the relative impact on value. This data is then collaborated with transaction based information for the specific aircraft as well as competing makes and models, which in turn generates a value specific to the serial number.  AircraftPost is widely used by OEMs, financial institutions, owners and brokers worldwide.
