Both roles involve selling aircraft-related products, but Aviation Sales Representatives typically work directly for airlines or aerospace companies, focusing on service and product sales within the aviation industry. Aircraft Sales Agents often operate independently or for brokers, specializing in connecting buyers and sellers of aircraft.
