Neel Aviation recently traveled to Bulgaria to prepare two Piper Seneca aircraft for export before they continued their journey to South Africa. While many aircraft are brought to our facility in Lakeland, Florida, some projects require our experienced team to travel directly to the aircraft. This flexibility allows us to provide professional aircraft preparation wherever our customers need us.
Since 2002, Neel Aviation has specialized in aircraft disassembly, export preparation, containerization, and reassembly services for customers around the world. Every project is approached individually, with careful planning to help protect the aircraft and simplify reassembly after arrival.
About the Piper Seneca
The Piper Seneca is one of the most recognized twin-engine piston aircraft in general aviation. Its dependable performance and versatility have made it popular for personal transportation, business travel, flight training, and charter operations across the globe.
Preparing a twin-engine aircraft for international transport requires careful evaluation. Every aircraft configuration is different, and factors such as destination requirements, aircraft equipment, and container dimensions all influence how the aircraft will be prepared before shipment.
Preparing the Aircraft for Export
Aircraft preparation begins long before the aircraft is loaded for overseas transport.
Each aircraft is carefully evaluated to determine the safest and most efficient disassembly process. Components are removed as needed, documented, labeled, and protected so they can be efficiently reassembled after arrival. Throughout the project, our team follows proven procedures developed through more than two decades of international aircraft preparation.
Our Aircraft Disassembly Services are designed specifically for international transport. We continually improve our custom fixtures, supports, and preparation methods to help protect aircraft throughout the journey while making reassembly as straightforward as possible.

International Aircraft Export Preparation
Every international aircraft project presents unique challenges. Some aircraft arrive at our Florida facility, while others require our team to travel directly to the aircraft’s location, as in this project in Bulgaria.
Neel Aviation focuses on preparing aircraft for international transport through professional disassembly, export preparation, and containerization. Once the aircraft has been properly prepared, it is ready to continue its international journey.

Long-Term Relationships Matter
One of the most rewarding aspects of our business is the relationships we build with customers around the world.
This project was completed for a longtime customer who has trusted Neel Aviation with multiple aircraft over the years. During our visit, we even had the opportunity to enjoy some homemade Bulgarian brandy before heading home—a reminder that aviation is built on lasting friendships as much as it is on airplanes.
More Than Two Decades of Experience
Since 2002, Neel Aviation has prepared more than 1,000 aircraft for customers around the world.
Our experience includes single-engine aircraft, twin-engine aircraft, helicopters, vintage aircraft, agricultural aircraft, and specialty airplanes. Whether the aircraft is being prepared at our Lakeland facility or at another location around the world, every project receives the same careful attention to detail.
In addition to export preparation, we also provide aircraft reassembly services for many projects once the aircraft reaches its destination or returns to the United States.
