Aircraft Leasing Advisory Services
Independent aircraft leasing advisory
Leasing remains one of the most cost-effective and capital-efficient methods of operating an aircraft. With a wide range of aircraft categories and mission profiles available, structuring the correct lease solution is critical to ensuring commercial success and operational flexibility.
The principal lease structures include:
- Operating Lease
- ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance) Lease
- Dry Lease
- Capital (Finance) Lease
Many of these arrangements can be structured as off–balance sheet solutions, depending on accounting treatment and jurisdiction, offering organisations enhanced financial agility and reduced capital exposure.
Given the breadth of aircraft types and lease configurations available globally, identifying the optimal structure requires independent, technically informed, and commercially objective advice.
