Our Firm · Since 1976

The firm behind the advice.
A family firm since 1976 — one transatlantic market today.

Amjet began as a family aviation business at a working airfield in Mississippi. Fifty years of operating, dealing, and representing aircraft shaped the independent, advisory-first firm working from Palm Beach and Zürich today — and every stage of that history is why the business model looks the way it does.

The Firm Today

Independent by business model.

Personal in execution.


Amjet advises principals acquiring or selling large-cabin and long-range Gulfstream, Bombardier Global, and Dassault Falcon aircraft — one transatlantic market, served by Senior Advisors from Palm Beach and Zürich.


We represent one principal in a transaction and are paid only by that principal, on terms disclosed in writing. We hold no aircraft for resale. Since 2026, every transaction we undertake is preceded by our independent advice, engaged and paid for on its own terms before any mandate to buy or sell.


Scott Rogers, Head of Advisory, oversees every advisory engagement, including work led by another Senior Advisor. Amanda Rogers, Head of Transactions, has been directly involved in every transaction Amjet has closed and oversees the financial and closing work across the firm.


Client-facing offices: Palm Beach and Zürich.

Corporate administration: Atlanta.

Why Palm Beach & Zürich

Offices where decisions are made.

We locate where our clients live, bank, and transact — not where aircraft are parked.

Aircraft are based at airports. Decisions are made across the table — by principals, family offices, and the attorneys, wealth managers, and trust officers who sit beside them. Amjet’s two advisory offices are placed where those decisions happen on each side of the Atlantic.


Atlanta was the firm’s home for thirty-eight years, and the majority of Amjet’s 900-plus transactions were completed from it. We did not leave because anything about Atlanta stopped working. We moved because our clients moved: over the past decade — decisively since 2020 — the center of gravity of American private wealth shifted to South Florida. Atlanta remains the firm’s corporate and administrative home.


Palm Beach now holds the densest concentration of ultra-high-net-worth aircraft owners, buyers, and family offices in the United States — and, increasingly, their advisors as well. Palm Beach International ranks among the busiest business-aviation airports in the country, so the aircraft we represent can be shown, inspected, and delivered where their owners actually are. Decisions that once required travel across the country now happen in person, quickly, and discreetly — a tradition of quiet, private wealth that matches how our clients prefer to transact.


Zürich has anchored the European side of the practice since 2020. It places Amjet’s senior advisor alongside the private banks, fiduciaries, and family offices that administer our European clients’ affairs, with natural coverage of German-speaking Europe — in the language, the time zone, and the banking culture those clients expect. Switzerland’s neutral, non-EU position also matters practically: the VAT, registry, and import considerations that arise in nearly every transatlantic transaction are coordinated from there with the client’s outside counsel, and some of Europe’s premier completion and maintenance facilities are close at hand. With senior people on both sides of the Atlantic, both ends of a cross-border transaction run in local time, local language, and local legal culture — one firm, no handoffs.


The list is short by design. Amjet is a boutique: every city on its letterhead has a senior advisor personally behind it.

Accountable by Name

The people behind the firm.

The advisor who leads the relationship stays in the work.


Senior attention is a practical commitment, not a phrase: the Senior Advisor who leads an engagement remains in it from strategy through closing, supported by a team with five decades across aircraft operations, dealing, and transactions.

“Everything in life has risk. Just move forward.”


— William Scott Rogers Jr.

Laurel, Mississippi · May 1976

Where it began.

Their first flight instructor. Their first backer.


In May 1976, brothers Scott and Tom Rogers established Laurel Flying Service at Hesler-Noble Field. Their father, William Scott Rogers Jr., backed the venture and guided it: the hangar and fueling facilities he owned became the company's first operating base, and his counsel shaped the firm through its first thirteen years — all while he continued flying his own agricultural aviation service.


His influence began long before the business. He was his sons' first flight instructor, teaching them from an age when they needed cushions to see over the instrument panel, and carrying them through basic and intermediate aerobatics. What he taught about risk became the firm's way of thinking: understand it, decide what is tolerable, then move forward with purpose.


Laurel Flying Service grew as a fixed-base operation with flight training, aircraft maintenance, and charter. Amanda Rogers joined in 1978, beginning the working partnership with Scott that has led the firm through every chapter since — and that year, at 23 and 20, Scott and Amanda secured the firm's FAA Part 135 Air Taxi/Commercial Operator certification, among the early operators to qualify under the substantially revised rules effective December 1, 1978. Running a certificated operation taught the family firsthand what aircraft cost to own, maintain, and fly — knowledge that still shapes Amjet's advice today.


In 1979, the firm acquired Hesler-Noble Flying Service following the death of its principal — nine aircraft, the municipal hangar and land leases, and its charter clientele, all assumed under Laurel Flying Service, Inc. Curtis Noble and Alton Hesler had been fixtures of the brothers' flying lives from the beginning, and the airfield where it all began still carries their names today.

How the Firm Evolved

Every phase added a different view of the market.

Operating, dealing, representing — then advising.

May 1976

Laurel Flying Service established at Hesler-Noble Field, Laurel, Mississippi — a fixed-base operation with maintenance and Part 135 charter, founded by Scott and Tom Rogers with the backing and guidance of their father, William Scott Rogers Jr.

1978

Amanda Rogers joins. She and Scott secure FAA Part 135 Air Taxi/Commercial Operator certification, among the early operators to qualify under the substantially revised 1978 rules — and begin leading the firm together.

1979

Laurel Flying Service, Inc. acquired Hesler-Noble Air Service. The transaction encompassed nine aircraft, two municipal hangars and the associated land leases, the existing charter client base, and responsibility for commercial flight operations.

1986

Laurel Flying Service, Inc. strategically sold its commercial operations to fund expanded aircraft inventory, stronger sourcing and sales capabilities, and broader market reach, creating a scalable resale platform grounded in expertise developed during its first ten years of operations.

1988

The company relocated to Atlanta, a leading global transportation hub, to expand its access to customers, aircraft, and industry partners while sharpening its focus on the private jet market.

2000

Scott and Amanda found Amjet Aviation — a name chosen to signal where the firm was going — assuming full ownership and folding the Laurel Flying Service team into a single enterprise dedicated to aircraft sales and acquisitions. Cash generated through the dot-com boom retired the firm's bank floor-plan debt in full; from that point on, the jet resale inventory was funded by private investors — the model Amjet would deliberately walk away from seven years later.

Dec 2007

Resale inventory exited and investor capital returned. The no-inventory representation model adopted — before the market moved.

2020

Zürich advisory office opens; Lutz Druschke joins the team.

2026

Fiftieth year: the Palm Beach advisory office opens at Northbridge Centre in the Flagler Financial District, and the advisory-first model is formalized — every mandate now preceded by independent advisory.


"I'm taking the chips off the table. If you wish to continue do so with my competitors."

— Scott Rogers, to the firm's inventory investors · December 2007


He did not claim to foresee the scale of what followed — only the pattern that precedes a downturn: the kind that breaks dealers carrying heavy leverage. Every investor was repaid before the market turned.



One airplane to sell. One buyer to find. One transatlantic market — and fifty years behind every recommendation.
