Hire Purchase
Own the helicopter outright at the end of the agreement. Fixed monthly payments over 3–10 years with Lloyds' competitive HP rate from 6.4% p.a. Ideal for owner-operators wanting a clear path to full ownership.
Finance Lease
Use the aircraft without formal ownership during the lease term. Monthly payments are typically lower than HP. At the end of the term, the aircraft can be sold with proceeds returned to you, or re-leased. Rates from 6.6% p.a.
Operating Lease
Full off-balance-sheet leasing for eligible businesses. Lloyds structures operating leases for larger commercial operators, particularly in the offshore and SAR sectors. Speak to us for indicative terms.
