Frequently asked aircraft loan questions

Can I buy my aircraft from a private seller or auction?

Yes – whether your aircraft is bought from a dealer, private seller or purchased at an auction, we can help you get approved for your loan. We're partnered with flexible lenders who are able to tick off on any of the above, provided they meet their requirements to serve as loan security.

How much am I able to borrow for my aircraft loan?

What you’re approved for will ultimately depend on your personal situation (credit score, employment and income), but there’s no upper limit to what lenders will approve. If you can afford your repayments, you can be approved for just about any aircraft on the market.

Are deposits mandatory on aircraft loans?

No – you can access 100% financing for your aviation loan and not worry about paying any lump sums up front. This is particularly useful for businesses or borrowers who don’t have the means to make a meaningful deposit but still need to purchase their aircraft. However, if you can make a deposit, you can save yourself thousands of dollars in interest overall.

Can I purchase an aircraft for private use with finance?

Yes – we have specialised lenders who can approve your aviation loan for personal use, as well as commercial.

Will I need to insure my aircraft under finance?

Yes – the main aircraft insurance policies you’re likely to need are Aircraft Hull and Liability insurance, which covers damage to your craft as well as third party, property and passenger damage and injury claims, and Hangar Keeper’s Liability insurance, which covers you for damage or injury caused while at or near airports.

I need to fix or upgrade my aircraft. Do you finance aviation equipment?

Yes – you can take out a loan to cover the purchase of a wide range of equipment and parts relating to your aircraft. This can be anything from avionics and engine maintenance to just about anything else. You can get a quote today to get the wheels in motion on your equipment loan.
