Leasing, also known as dry-lease or operating lease, provides various advantages to companies that are actively operating aircraft and running an

airline. We arrange for our airline clients customized leases, whether for used or new aircraft. For new aircraft ordered by our

clients, we arrange Sale-Leaseback transactions, i.e. we arrange for purchasing the aircraft from the airline (that made the original aircraft order)

and lease it back to the airline for the aircraft operational usage. Normally leases range in the period of 5 to 8 years and the aircraft are usually

returned to the lessor at lease expiration. The advantages of leasing for a company possessing the resources to operate the aircraft and to execute

maintenance in-house are self-evident. Lease contracts provide you, as a client, with the lowest airplane/lowest lease expenses while allowing you

to maintain maximum control over the operational activities of the aircraft. Further leases provide airlines the flexibility to introduce new aircraft

types into their fleet and immediately increase or reduce capacity as needed. Such leases also afford customers the opportunity of fully financing the

aircraft without having to provide the initial capital required in a purchase. These are key advantages in today's rapidly changing aviation market,

which is driven by a surplus of aircraft, up and down cycles, new aircraft types and passengers who are increasingly conscious of product quality and

on board comfort. Another important benefit to choosing an operating lease is the off-balance-sheet accounting. Lastly, as the aircraft financier

(lessor) takes the residual value risk of the aircraft at return, the airline can concentrate on fleet planning and future markets. We are always

available to advise you on the best lease type for your situation. Contact us today for a detailed analysis of your lease requirements.
