What is aviation finance?
Aviation finance is designed for aircraft purchase, leasing, or refinancing, and has unique legal and structural considerations, making it different to most other finance options. Common types of aircraft financing include secured loans, operating leases, finance leases, and sale-leaseback arrangements. Ensuring you have the correct legal and financial structures in place is crucial to achieving long-lifespan and high-value aircraft assets.
How does aircraft financing work?
Aviation finance provides the necessary funds you need to buy or lease an aircraft, which can then be used for commercial or private purposes. The financing process typically involves a lender (also known as a lessor) that supplies the money necessary to purchase the aircraft, and the borrower (also known as the lessee) making regular payments back to the lender over a set period of time.
The terms of the financing agreement can depend on a variety of factors, such as the value of the aircraft, the borrower’s ability to pay, and how long the financing period is.
