Aircraft finance

A business aircraft can dramatically reduce your travel time and boost your productivity even further, creating time for you and your family.

We certainly don’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to business aircraft loans for our clients. We have more flexible lending guidelines to accommodate the unique needs of very wealthy buyers.

Ford Von Weise
GLOBAL HEAD OF AIRCRAFT FINANCE

Wealthy individuals and families are becoming ever more global in their presence, with businesses, investments, and homes in multiple regions of the world.

Time spent traveling is therefore typically increasing, while itineraries are becoming ever more complex. Having an executive aircraft can reduce your waiting time in airports and enable more direct journeys to your destinations. As well as improving your productivity and flexibility, it can enhance your privacy and security.

Citi Private Bank offers a comprehensive and customized service for selecting, financing, and operating your executive aircraft. Our team of specialists are both aviation professionals and private bankers.

We work with you to evaluate your travel needs and identify your aircraft options.

Based on your balance sheet and cash flow requirements, we then structure and fund an aircraft loan for you. As well as simplifying the acquisition process, we can also accelerate your transaction if your timescale is tight. We can also lend against your existing aircraft’s equity to allow you to free up funds for other purposes. We can also lend against your existing aircraft’s equity to allow you to free up funds for other purposes.

Whether you are seeking to buy your first aircraft or upgrade your current one, we will customize a strategy for you.
