Advantages of Fleet Finance
When purchasing two or more turboprops, volume negotiations with lenders can deliver materially better rates than individual aircraft finance deals. Some lenders offer preferential pricing for fleet deals above defined thresholds (typically 3+ aircraft or £5m+ aggregate).
Cross-collateralisation - where multiple aircraft secure the facility jointly - can also improve LTV ratios and reduce the total deposit required. We structure fleet deals to maximise lender confidence and minimise your capital outlay.
Fleet Finance Structures
Fleet finance can be structured as individual facility per aircraft (most common), a single master facility against the whole fleet, or a revolving credit line for ongoing acquisitions. The right structure depends on your ownership entity, tax position and fleet growth plans.
For charter businesses, each aircraft's projected utilisation and revenue can be modelled individually and aggregated for lender presentation. We build a comprehensive fleet investment memorandum for each multi-aircraft case.
Which Lenders Do Fleet Deals?
Not all aircraft finance lenders have appetite for fleet transactions. Lombard, Close Brothers, Barclays Aviation Finance and some specialist lenders have experience with multi-aircraft deals. We identify the right lender combination for your fleet profile and size.
