➢ Financing Solutions
Sale and Leaseback
We enable airlines/MROs to finance their new spare engine acquisitions directly from OEMs using the sale and leaseback model. SAEL offers competitive financing with fast transaction executions, accommodating current and next-generation engine models.
Our lease terms align with the airline’s fleet plans and engine maintenance strategies, typically ranging from 8-12 years with flexible extension options. This financing tool offers the necessary capital and a solution for transferring residual value risk to the asset owner.
We also assist airlines in monetizing their balance sheet through purchase leaseback of their unencumbered or encumbered spare engines with flexible lease terms. This solution mirrors a standard sale and leaseback, offering a timely way to raise capital and increase liquidity during different industry cycles.
