Flight Schools

Leasing is becoming the predominent model for aquiring and scaling a flight school. Unfortunately, flight schools often take on a massivley expenseve lease with high utilization penalties. However, we have reinvented the flight school leaseback, made to reward flight schools for high utilization.

Lease Structure for Flight Schools

Our aircraft lease options for flight schools are designed to maximize profitability in direct correlation with utilization. We do not believe that utilization caps or penalties should limit your profit. We also offer bundled services when two or more aircraft are leased from us. Contact us to talk about options.
