What Is the Primary Difference Between Aircraft Leasing and Aircraft Sales?

Aircraft Leasing and Aircraft Sales

Aircraft leasing and aircraft sales typically involve two primary differences. One is legal and the other is operational. Both options provide benefits and challenges when you consider having your own private jet.

The legal issue is straightforward. In one case, ownership, you have legal title to your personal jet. If you choose aircraft leasing, you will not own the private jet. This difference may or may not be an important issue for you. The major issue is often the tax considerations, as they could be important to both lessor (owner ) and lessee.

Leasing luxury jets for sale sometimes delivers monetary benefits that have great value. The most obvious: conservation of capital. Without the requirement of making a large cash down payment and/or obtaining financing, your funds outlay is controlled and minimized. Another consideration is personal jet usage. Many experts recommend using a rule of thumb or break-even analysis of 300 hours of flight time per year to financially justify private jet ownership versus aircraft leasing or chartering.

Consult your financial and tax adviser before you find that perfect luxury private jet for sale and make an offer. Your need to have a personal jet at your disposal when you want it can often be achieved through aircraft leasing, ownership, or charter with equal satisfaction. The financial considerations may strongly influence your choice of method.
