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.
