WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF AIRCRAFT LEASEBACK?
The Pros:
- Your fixed costs (tie down, insurance) are typically paid for.
- Fly the aircraft for less than the cost of renting an identical one.
- You may use the aircraft for the cost of fuel alone (typically around $50-75/hr).
- You will gain equity in an aircraft as it works, often paying for an aircraft completely in 4-5 years of service.
- Potential for excellent positive cash flow.
- Significant accelerated depreciation tax credits.
The Cons:
- Poor airframes may generate maintenance “surprises” to the tune of many thousands of dollars to repair.
- Flight Training service is rigorous and will accelerate wear on the aircraft. Many of our planes fly 200 hours per year or more.
- You’ll have to schedule your flights in the aircraft just like any other renter. You’ll lose the flexibility of flying your airplane whenever you want.
