    Take off without tying up your capital.

    Every aircraft buyer, along with each aircraft, has unique financial challenges to navigate. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our team provides customized aircraft lease and loan structures that suit your specifics.

    Flexible Terms and Structures

    Choose from 3- to 10-year term loans with amortization periods up to 20 years. We offer fixed-rate and floating-rate loans, as well as true lease and synthetic lease structures to match your needs.

    Comprehensive Aircraft Coverage

    Options from runway to helipad. Finance small, medium and large cabin aircraft; jets, turboprops and piston aircraft; and helicopters configured for VIP, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) and transport use. New construction orders and fractional share financing are also available.

    Aircraft Lending Specialists

    Our experienced aircraft financing team understands aircraft ownership structures — they’ll guide you through tax documentation and other complex issues faced in purchasing or leasing commercial aircraft.1

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Aircraft financing involves unique considerations like aircraft ownership structures, complex tax documentation, regulatory compliance and specialized insurance requirements. Unlike standard equipment, aircraft retain significant value and require insight into aviation markets, registration processes and international considerations.
    We finance the full range of corporate aircraft — small, medium and large cabin jets, turboprop aircraft, and helicopters for VIP, EMS, and transport use. We also handle new construction orders and fractional ownership financing, so multiple parties can access private aviation without the full cost and commitment.
    Aircraft financing rates vary based on factors like aircraft type and age, your credit profile and market conditions. Our aircraft team can provide current rate information and help structure terms that work for your specific situation.
    Aircraft financing preserves your working capital for core business operations while still giving you access to the aircraft you need. Your aircraft is an asset that can be efficiently financed or leased, freeing up cash resources for opportunities that drive your business forward.
