Flexible Aircraft Age Policy

Pegasus can consider aircraft that major banks would decline on age grounds. If you're buying an older Bell 206, MD 500 or similar legacy helicopter, Pegasus may be able to structure a workable finance package.

Non-Standard Types

Military surplus, ex-utility, or unusual helicopter types that don't fit clearing bank criteria can sometimes be considered by Pegasus - subject to valuation and condition.

Fast Independent Decision-Making

As an independent lender, Pegasus can make credit decisions without the committee layers of a large bank. For time-sensitive purchases, this can be a significant advantage.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Who is Pegasus Asset Finance?

Pegasus Asset Finance is an independent specialist asset finance lender with experience across aviation, marine, and commercial asset classes. Unlike the major clearing banks, Pegasus offers more flexible underwriting, particularly for non-standard aircraft types or older helicopters that may not fit mainstream bank criteria.

What helicopter finance rates does Pegasus offer?

Pegasus Asset Finance offers helicopter finance from approximately 7.3% p.a. as of October 2026. Their rates reflect their more flexible approach to asset age and type - the trade-off for greater flexibility is a slightly higher headline rate compared to prime bank lenders.

Does Pegasus finance older helicopters?

Yes. Pegasus is notably more flexible than high-street banks when it comes to aircraft age. Where a clearing bank might decline or heavily restrict finance for a helicopter over 15–20 years old, Pegasus can often consider transactions based on aircraft condition, maintenance records, and residual value rather than age alone.

What deposit does Pegasus require for helicopter finance?

Pegasus typically requires a minimum deposit of 20–25%, though this can vary depending on aircraft age, type and condition. For older or more unusual aircraft, a larger deposit may be required to protect the lender's position.

How does Pegasus compare to bank lenders for helicopter finance?

Pegasus offers greater flexibility on aircraft type, age and borrower profile than most clearing banks. The trade-off is a slightly higher rate. For non-standard transactions - older aircraft, unusual types, or borrowers who don't fit bank criteria - Pegasus can be the right choice. We always compare them against our full lender panel.
