How Does Aircraft Financing Work?
Aircraft financing typically involves a secured loan or lease arrangement where the aircraft itself serves as collateral. Enness acts as your specialist broker, ensuring you receive the most competitive terms—whether you are financing a light jet, wide-body aircraft, or helicopter.
1. Initial Review & Eligibility
We begin by understanding:
- Your financial profile and asset base
- Whether the aircraft will be used for private, corporate, or charter operations

For UAE clients with international assets or non-traditional income structures, we simplify the process and present lenders with a clear overview of your profile.

Enness approaches global lenders, private banks, aviation specialists, and niche financiers to secure tailored terms. Offers typically outline:
- Interest rates
- Deposit requirements
- Loan-to-value ratios
- Amortisation periods
- Balloon structures
- Tax and ownership considerations
3. Negotiation & Deal Structuring
We negotiate on your behalf to secure the most competitive and flexible structure, such as:
- Aviation loans
- Asset-backed credit lines
- Operating or finance leases
