Allocation of Capital
Typically, a traditional loan is limited to no more than 70% of the total cost of the aircraft—which means a significant down payment for a constantly depreciating, non-core asset. With an Operating Lease, up to 100% of the cost can be financed. More importantly, the large down payment of a loan scenario is replaced by a smaller security deposit along with other closing costs.
Reduced Risk and Predictable Expenses
Offload all future market value risk to the lessor in exchange for a fixed set of lease payments that will not change over time.
Disposition Certitude
Our “end-of-lease return option” provides a built-in “buyer” for your aircraft at lease-end for eventual ease of disposition.This enables a smooth transition into your next aircraft—avoiding cost, time on market delays and the hassle generally associated with aircraft sales.
More Efficient Tax Treatment
For many business aviation users, rents under an Operating Lease are an efficient, long term tax-deductible expense.
Keep Your Bank for Banking
An Operating Lease from Global Jet Capital provides substantial funding on a depreciating asset that is separate and apart from other primary bank facilities and secured only by the aircraft.
Greater Privacy
An Operating Lease reduces visibility to an aircraft’s end user, as the public records of the FAA would identify Global Jet Capital as the owner of the aircraft.
Easier Upgrades
With lower upfront capital requirements, and no need to sell your existing aircraft, the path to a more contemporary, longer-range aircraft just got easier.
Risk Mitigation
To hedge risk, you’ve put your engines, airframe and avionics on program. Think of a Global Jet Capital Operating Lease as a program for your capital.
