Privéjet Financiering Nederland

Overzicht - Aircraft Financing Landscape

Voor de meeste kopers - zelfs ultra-high-net-worth individuals - is financiering de preferred route voor private jet acquisition. Rather than tying up €40-70 miljoen in a depreciating asset, smart buyers leverage bank financing to preserve capital for higher-return investments while still accessing the benefits of aircraft ownership. Nederlandse private banking divisions en gespecialiseerde aviation lenders offer sophisticated financing solutions tailored to UHNW clients en corporate buyers.

Private jet financing differs fundamentally from commercial aircraft lending - it's relationship-driven, highly customized, and structured around borrower's total wealth profile rather than just the aircraft asset. Whether you're considering a Gulfstream G650 voor international business travel or a Citation Latitude for regional missions, understanding financing options, interest rates, credit requirements, and approval processes is essential for optimal deal structuring.

Deze guide behandelt: Dutch bank financing options (ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO), typical interest rates en loan terms, down payment requirements across aircraft categories, asset-based lending structures, credit requirements, refinancing opportunities, en wat te doen bij financial distress. For complete ownership economics, zie ook onze operating costs guide, leasing alternatives, en fractional ownership comparisons. Met proper financing structure, you can acquire your ideal aircraft while maintaining liquidity en maximizing return on invested capital.

Interest Rates & Loan Terms

Example: €50M G650 Financing Scenarios

• Scenario A (Best Terms): Investment-grade borrower, 20% down (€10M), €40M financed @ 4% fixed 10 jaar = €404K monthly, €8,5M total interest
• Scenario B (Standard): HNW individual, 25% down (€12,5M), €37,5M financed @ 5,5% fixed 10 jaar = €407K monthly, €11,3M total interest
• Scenario C (Higher Risk): 30% down (€15M), €35M financed @ 7% fixed 8 jaar = €502K monthly, €13,2M total interest

Interest rate sensitivity: On €40M loan, every 1% rate difference = €33K monthly payment swing = €400K annually. Negotiating 0,5% better rate via strong banking relationship saves €200K/jaar - worth cultivating bank relationships before aircraft shopping.

Down Payments & Loan-to-Value

Benefits of Higher Down Payment

• Rate Reduction: Every 10% additional down payment typically saves 0,25-0,5% interest rate
• Approval Certainty: Higher down demonstrates commitment, smooths underwriting
• Lower Total Cost: €50M aircraft, 30% down vs 20% saves €1-2M in interest over loan term when combined with lower maintenance, insurance, and crew costs
• Equity Protection: Higher initial equity cushions against depreciation, reduces underwater risk

Asset-Based Lending - Portfolio Approach

Asset-based lending allows leveraging your total wealth portfolio, not just the aircraft:

Approval Process & Timeline

1. Pre-Qualification (1-2 weeks): Submit preliminary financials, credit authorization, aircraft details. Receive indicative terms.
2. Formal Application (2-3 weeks): Complete application, detailed financials (3-year returns, asset schedules), business plan, guarantees.
3. Underwriting (3-6 weeks): Credit committee review, collateral appraisal, aircraft valuation, legal structure review.
4. Documentation (2-4 weeks): Loan agreement drafting, security agreements (mortgage, UCC filings), insurance setup.
5. Funding & Closing (1-2 weeks): Down payment wire, disbursement, title transfer, delivery.

Total Timeline: 9-17 weeks average. Expedited possible for strong relationships + pre-owned aircraft (6-8 weeks). Factory orders (18-36 months delivery) allow arranging financing well in advance.
