Luiz Sandler

Luiz Sandler is the Founder & Head of Sales of Jet Match, a boutique advisory firm dedicated to the acquisition, sale and management of business aircraft, based in Brazil. The firm represents buyers and sellers on exclusive mandates across the full range of the market, from light jets to ultra-long-range aircraft, and manages aircraft on behalf of owners. In 2026 it opened Jet Lab, Latin America's first business aircraft showroom, where clients explore cabin layouts and configure aircraft in virtual reality.

Sandler has spent more than 25 years in business aircraft sales and over 30 years in aviation. Across his career he has been involved in more than 130 new and pre-owned aircraft transactions, representing in excess of US$3 billion in value.

He joined Embraer in 2000 in market intelligence and left in 2007 as Sales Manager for Latin America, having been part of the commercial team that launched the manufacturer's executive aviation business. That year he became Sales Director at Gulfstream's independent sales representative in Brazil, and in 2013 joined the manufacturer directly as Regional Sales Vice-President for South America, a position he held until 2018. In 2017 he was named Gulfstream's Top Sales Executive for Latin America & Florida.

In 2018 he moved into the pre-owned market as an independent advisor, in partnership with a US-based brokerage firm, and in 2023 founded Jet Match. The firm also publishes Jet Match Market Intelligence, a proprietary quarterly analysis of pre-owned pricing, inventory and transaction activity. Since 2022, Sandler has served as VistaJet's ambassador in Brazil.

Before moving into sales, he flew professionally as a corporate and airline pilot. He remains a commercial pilot with an instrument rating, licensed by both ANAC and the FAA — a background that gives him a technical perspective on every aircraft he advises on.

Sandler holds a business degree from Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV) in São Paulo. A native of Brazil, he is fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish. He is married and has two children.
