Prestige Aircraft Finance

Prestige Aircraft Finance is an aircraft financing broker and advisor. The company says it is not a lender. It structures financing for business jets, turboprops, piston aircraft and helicopters, then places each deal with lenders whose terms fit the buyer.

The company offers term loans, capital and operating leases, and progress payment financing. It helps clients compare the offers they receive and manages the deal through to closing. Its website says the goal is to help clients buy back their time through private aviation.

Business jet financing covers aircraft from light jets to large cabin aircraft. Turboprop financing is designed to match the efficiency, speed and value of turboprop aircraft. The website names PC-12, TBM and King Air models as examples of the aircraft it works with.

Piston aircraft financing covers single and multi-engine piston aircraft. The website lists Cirrus SR20 and SR22, Cessna 172, 182 and 206, Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron, Piper Cherokee, Archer, Seneca and Saratoga, Mooney models, and Diamond DA40 and DA62. The company says it knows the lender landscape and collateral requirements for each make and model.

Helicopter financing covers rotorcraft from private use helicopters to specialized mission platforms. The website describes this as mission driven financing with clear next steps for the buyer.

Loan amounts, terms and down payments vary by aircraft and lender. Rates and terms depend on the buyer's credit profile, the age and value of the aircraft, and the lender that is matched. The company offers an online calculator to estimate monthly payments. The website says the calculator is educational and is not a loan offer or a rate lock.

Clients start by contacting the company to discuss their goals and the aircraft they are considering. The company gathers financial information, identifies the right lender and manages the process through closing. Timing depends on the aircraft and the lender. Clients can also apply through a confidential application form, and the website has a blog and the Private Jet Insider newsletter.
