Aircraft and operator diligence
Age, maintenance history, model liquidity and operator credentials all affect financing appetite and the terms that can realistically be offered.
Mobile Productive Assets
Aviation & Aircraft Finance
Aircraft acquisition, refinancing and lease structures reviewed on an asset-specific basis.
Understanding The Mandate
Is this an acquisition, refinance or lease, and who is responsible for operation and maintenance?
Investment Banking & Capital Raising
Aircraft finance sits between transport operations, equipment valuation and international lending. An aircraft may be used by a commercial operator, a charter business, a government entity or a specialist medical service. The financing decision therefore depends on who operates the machine, how it will be used and how future income or budget support will cover its cost.
AFII's existing aircraft-finance practice describes solutions for new and pre-owned aircraft and experience with operating networks, lessors and specialist counterparties. Depending on the mandate, the route may involve secured acquisition debt, refinancing, lease arrangements or a wider investment structure. Cross-border registration, insurance, residual value and operational compliance are central to evaluation.
The Issues That MatterWhat The Structure
What The Structure
Needs To Address.
Each mandate needs a different balance of structure, commercial judgement and execution. These themes explain the practical issues that usually shape the work.
Lease or ownership
Dry lease, wet lease and acquisition finance involve materially different responsibilities for crew, maintenance, insurance and operational control.
International execution
Jurisdiction, registration, repossession rights, import costs and foreign-currency obligations should be assessed with specialist legal and technical advisers.

Nothing replaces the review of contracts, financial information and the particular circumstances of the borrower, project or investment. Each engagement remains specific to the transaction, counterparties and jurisdiction involved.
