Processing at Checkout:
During checkout, our system performs a matching process for credit card transactions to ensure security and accuracy. To facilitate this, it’s important that your aircraft profile includes a verified tail number or identifies a featured aircraft. This matching helps prevent discrepancies and fraud, ensuring that the aircraft being booked aligns with the payment details provided. If you haven’t already, be sure to add your aircraft’s tail number or designate a featured aircraft to avoid any issues during payment processing.

By thoroughly reviewing and updating your profile, and ensuring that all necessary details—especially those needed for credit card processing—are accurately provided, you set yourself up for a smooth and successful experience on Hangar Direct.

A well-crafted aircraft profile on Hangar Direct not only simplifies the process of finding a hangar but also builds credibility with hangar owners.
