We work directly with The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), insurance firms, title and escrow companies, and sales organizations to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and accurate FAA records.
AirFleet Capital also supports aircraft manufacturers and sales organizations by continuously working with leaders to support the buyers changing needs. We have a long history of providing preferred financial support, establishing special ownership programs, and running captive finance programs.
As a company, we pride ourselves in being very active in the industry. We maintain this presence by attending monthly trade events, speaking to owner groups, and meeting with our customers face-to-face. This is all done in support of general aviation and to keep our finger on the pulse of our buyers.
The best compliment we have ever received came from an industry salesperson, who said, “You all understand our customer because you are our customer!”
