Leasing and Financing
Aviation asset transactions demand precision and foresight. Our team supports airlines, charter operators, lessors, financiers, and OEMs with a wide spectrum of leasing finance work covering finance and operating leases, sub‑leases, and novation structures. We guide clients through perfecting interests under the Cape Town Convention and linking them to cross-border repossession protocols.
On the defence side, we support clients in leasing defence equipment through Indian vendor structures, and aligning financing arrangements with procurement classification, offset, and industrial licensing considerations.
Advised a private aviation client on a bespoke aircraft leasing arrangement involving the sublease of charter jets from an international lessor. The deal combined commercial leasing with operational handover, allowing the client to scale without direct ownership.
