Frequently Asked Questions

Our experience covers many aircraft types, from smaller private aircraft to large commercial jets. This includes corporate, turbine, piston, regional, passenger, and cargo aircraft. We can help you search for an aircraft that fits your intended use and budget. Our services can cover the search, purchase, lease, and related negotiations.

Finding the right aircraft starts with knowing what you need from it. We look at factors such as aircraft type, age, condition, capacity, range, and budget. Our Aircraft Sourcing Services can then help identify suitable opportunities. We can also assist with inspections, purchase discussions, and negotiations once you find an aircraft you like.

Aircraft leasing allows you to use an aircraft for an agreed period without purchasing it outright. Financing, on the other hand, can help you fund an aircraft purchase. Your choice may depend on your ownership plans, available funds, and how you intend to use the aircraft. We can discuss different structures and help you understand which options may suit your situation.

Private aircraft financing can be useful when purchasing an aircraft directly is part of your long-term plan. We work with private owners, businesses, and corporate aircraft buyers with different financing needs. Our relationships with banks, lessors, and private investment funds give us access to various financing sources. We can review your request and help identify financing options worth considering.

The financing structure can vary depending on the aircraft and the transaction. Possible options include aircraft loans, finance leases, installment loans, and sale-leaseback arrangements. Some transactions may also allow flexible payment schedules or longer repayment terms. We can review your requirements before discussing the structures that may be available.

Aircraft engines can be financed or leased separately from the aircraft in certain transactions. We work with clients who need aircraft engine financing, engine leasing, or engine purchasing assistance. Our experience also includes used engines in different conditions. We can review the engine details and your requirements before discussing possible financing or lease arrangements.

An ACMI lease includes the aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance. It can give an airline or operator additional capacity without requiring an aircraft purchase. ACMI Aircraft Leasing may be useful when capacity needs change or additional aircraft are needed for a specific period. We can also discuss wet and dry lease arrangements based on your operating requirements.

We can also help source other commercial aircraft based on your specific requirements.

Selling an aircraft requires finding the right buyer and presenting the aircraft properly. Our Aircraft Remarketing Services can help owners reach potential buyers and manage the sales process. We can assist with aircraft information, buyer discussions, negotiations, and other transaction needs. The approach can also vary depending on the aircraft type, condition, and market demand.

Aircraft brokerage services can help make a purchase or sale easier to manage. Buyers may need help finding suitable aircraft, while sellers may need access to potential buyers. We can assist with sourcing, inspections, negotiations, and other parts of the transaction. Our goal is to bring the right parties and resources together for each individual deal.

Cargo and passenger aircraft have different operating needs, so the search must match the intended purpose. We can help clients look for aircraft suitable for passenger operations, cargo conversion, or existing freighter operations. Our Aircraft Acquisition Services can also support the purchase process after a suitable aircraft is found. We can discuss your requirements and search for options that match them.

Our experience in the aviation industry goes back to 1991. Over the years, we have worked on aircraft leasing, financing, acquisitions, and sales for different types of clients. Our previous projects have included Boeing, Airbus, Saab, Beech, Cessna, and other aircraft.

An aircraft purchase involves more than finding an aircraft and agreeing on a price. Inspections, aircraft records, technical details, and contract terms can all affect the transaction. We can help arrange inspections and assist with purchase and lease negotiations. Legal representation and engineering support can also be arranged when required.
