Jaken Aviation

Jaken Aviation is an aircraft financing brokerage based in Lake Zurich, Illinois, and a division of Jaken Finance Group. It is a broker rather than a lender: it takes a borrower's purchase or refinance request and shops it across a national network of aviation lenders, then compares the structures on offer. Loans are arranged for piston, turboprop, light and mid size jet, helicopter and some experimental and homebuilt aircraft, for personal, LLC or corporate ownership.

Loan programmes

• Purchase loans for new and pre-owned piston, turboprop and jet aircraft
• Helicopter financing from light single engine to multi engine turbine
• Refinance and cash out to lower payments, change the term or release equity
• Equipment financing for engine overhauls, major inspections and avionics upgrades
• Structures for leaseback, flight school, Part 135 and fractional ownership use
• Experimental and homebuilt aircraft, subject to specific lender criteria

The process starts with a pre-qualification request through the company's portal, answered within one business day according to the site, after which the broker coordinates hangar, insurance and title requirements with the buyer.

Financing guides

The site publishes financing guides for about fifty popular models, from the Cessna 152 and Piper Archer to the Pilatus PC-12, TBM 960 and Citation CJ3+. Each guide gives illustrative figures for the current market and typical down payment ranges, described on the site as examples rather than offers.

Cirrus financing

Four of the guides cover Cirrus aircraft: the SR20, SR22, SR22T and Vision Jet SF50. The SR22T guide gives an illustrative early 2026 value range of US$250,000 to US$1.3 million by generation, says a down payment of 15 to 20 percent is common for a well qualified buyer, and notes that insurance must bind before funding, so low time pilots should line up transition training and coverage early (jakenaviation.com, SR22T financing). Jaken Aviation is a finance broker and has no connection with Cirrus Aircraft. For the factory service network and other Cirrus specialists see the Cirrus hub.
