Aircraft financing companies and lenders

273 companies across 21 countries. Updated 19 October 2026.

Aircraft financing companies fund the purchase or refinancing of aircraft, from single-engine pistons and helicopters to business jets and airliners. The category includes banks with dedicated aviation divisions, specialist lenders, operating lessors and finance brokers. Private owners, flight schools, charter operators, corporate flight departments and airlines are the borrowers.

Lenders usually look at the aircraft's age, type, maintenance status and registration as well as the borrower's finances, and typically ask for a pre-purchase inspection and an independent appraisal. Compare loan term, rate, deposit, balloon payment and any restrictions on where the aircraft can be based or flown. For larger aircraft, an operating lease can be an alternative to a loan.

Finance providers in the directory

We list 113 aircraft finance companies, most in the United States (72), the United Kingdom (15), Canada (6) and France (6).

Financing usually runs alongside aircraft sales brokers, aircraft leasing companies and aircraft insurance providers, since lenders require hull cover. Our guides compare financing versus leasing a private jet and explain aviation loan rates for owners, operators and students.
