Aircraft & Helicopter Finance

BUSINESS AVIATION SIMPLIFIED

Business aviation in Australia is growing rapidly.  For busy professionals, business aviation is an exercise in necessity & simplicity.  Purchasing a private aircraft or helicopter can save money and offer enhanced opportunities for businesses. Private and business aircraft ownership can have a positive impact by allowing executives to set their own schedules and grow their business without being at the mercy of commercial airlines. This advantage can save money and could potentially offset the cost of the private aircraft in terms of cost savings, the ability to generate additional business and enhanced travel opportunities.

Rather than viewing the ownership of a private aircraft simply as an expense, in the right situation, it might actually provide a competitive advantage.

Financial Solutions for Helicopter Operators & Owners

Helicopter financing shares many key features with conventional aircraft financing but there are a few important differences that influence the way in which financings are structured.  Whilst helicopter built dates are inconsequential, their component times specially for turbine modules and engine life cycles tend to drive financing structure to a large extent.

Finlease has financed helicopters that have required complete strip down on airframe and rebuild to near new condition with modern avionics, overhauled engines, fresh paint and upholstery.

Finlease has financed and imported helicopters from North & South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa & Japan.

All paid for ex-vendor & off shore.
