Overzicht - Waarom Privéjet Leasing?
Leasing biedt een aantrekkelijk alternatief voor directe aankoop van een privéjet, vooral voor bedrijven en individuen die de voordelen van private aviation willen zonder de volledige capital commitment van ownership. In plaats van €40-70 miljoen upfront te betalen voor een Gulfstream G650 of €10-25 miljoen voor een midsize jet, spreidt leasing de kosten over meerdere jaren met voorspelbare maandelijkse betalingen.
De Nederlandse markt voor aircraft leasing is goed ontwikkeld, met major Dutch banks (ING, Rabobank, ABN AMRO) actief in aviation finance naast gespecialiseerde internationale lessors. Voor corporate buyers biedt leasing significante voordelen: preserved capital for core business investments, off-balance-sheet financing benefits (bij operating lease), volledige tax deductibility van lease payments, en flexibiliteit om te upgraden naar nieuwere aircraft zonder de complexiteit van verkoop. For complete ownership economics, zie onze operating costs guide en financing alternatives.
Deze comprehensive gids behandelt alle aspecten van privéjet leasing in Nederland: operating lease vs finance lease structures, typical monthly costs across verschillende aircraft categories, Nederlandse en internationale leasing providers, residual value considerations, early termination opties, en lease-to-own paths naar eventual ownership. Of u nu overweegt een Citation CJ4 te leasen voor regional business travel vanuit Schiphol of een Global 7500 voor ultra-long-range missions - deze gids helpt u de juiste lease structure te selecteren en optimale terms te negotiëren. Compare ook met fractional ownership en charter alternatives.
Operating Lease vs Finance Lease - Key Verschillen
Operating Lease - Flexibiliteit & Off-Balance-Sheet Benefits
Operating lease is vergelijkbaar met huren: de lessor (leasing company) behoudt ownership van de aircraft, en de lessee (u) betaalt monthly lease payments voor het right to use het vliegtuig gedurende de lease term (typically 3-7 jaar). Aan het einde van de term returned u de aircraft naar de lessor, upgrade naar een nieuwer model, of negotiate een extension.
Operating Lease Karakteristieken:
- Kortere Lease Terms: Typically 36-84 maanden (3-7 jaar), matched naar aircraft depreciation cycles
- Off-Balance-Sheet: Aircraft verschijnt niet als asset op uw balance sheet - verbetert financial ratios (debt/equity, ROA) voor banking covenants en investor reporting
- Geen Residual Value Risk: Lessor draagt het risico van aircraft value fluctuaties - als market deprecieert faster than expected, uw exposure limited tot remaining lease payments
- Flexibele Early Exit: Most operating leases allow early termination met 3-6 maanden penalty plus market value shortfall compensation - easier to exit dan finance lease
- Hogere Monthly Payments: Omdat lease term korter en lessor residual risk draagt, monthly rates 20-40% higher dan vergelijkbare finance lease
- Tax Treatment: Lease payments fully deductible als operating expense - €200-350K/maand voor G650 = €2,4-4,2M/jaar deduction @ 25,8% Dutch VPB rate = €620K-1,08M annual tax shield. Note that crew, hangar, insurance, en maintenance costs zijn additional
Operating Lease - Ideal For:
- Corporate buyers prioritizing off-balance-sheet treatment voor financial reporting
- Companies met stringent banking covenants limiting additional debt
- Buyers uncertain over long-term aircraft needs (might upgrade from light jets to midsize of heavy jets within 5 jaar)
- Organizations wanting predictable monthly costs zonder residual value exposure
- Tax optimization focus (immediate expense deductibility vs depreciation)
Finance Lease (Capital Lease) - Path to Ownership
Finance lease is economically vergelijkbaar met financed purchase: de lessee treats de aircraft als owned asset, depreciates it over time, en typically has ownership transfer aan einde van lease term. Monthly payments zijn lower omdat lease term longer (7-15 jaar) en eventual ownership assumed.
Finance Lease Karakteristieken:
- Langere Lease Terms: Typically 84-180 maanden (7-15 jaar), matched naar expected aircraft lifespan
- On-Balance-Sheet: Aircraft recorded als asset, corresponding lease liability, impacts financial ratios similar to direct ownership
- Residual Value Risk: Lessee draagt economic risk - if aircraft worth less than residual at end, lessee absorbs loss (maar also benefits if worth more)
- Ownership Transfer: Most finance leases include purchase option of automatic transfer aan einde voor predetermined residual value (balloon payment)
- Lagere Monthly Payments: 20-40% lower monthly rates dan operating lease door longer term en ownership assumption
- Tax Treatment: Aircraft depreciated over 10-20 jaar (€3,3M/jaar voor €50M aircraft), interest portion van payments separately deductible, may qualify voor MIA/VAMIL accelerated depreciation
Finance Lease - Ideal For:
- Buyers committed to long-term aircraft ownership (10+ jaar horizon)
- Organizations wanting lower total cost van ownership (finance lease typically €5-10M cheaper over full term dan operating)
- Corporate structures optimizing for MIA/VAMIL tax benefits (requires ownership treatment)
- Companies comfortable with on-balance-sheet assets (strong balance sheet, geen restrictive covenants)
- Buyers wanting eventual ownership zonder full upfront capital outlay
Side-by-Side Comparison
| Feature | Operating Lease | Finance Lease |
|---|---|---|
| Typical Term | 3-7 jaar (36-84 maanden) | 7-15 jaar (84-180 maanden) |
| Balance Sheet Treatment | Off-balance-sheet | On-balance-sheet (asset + liability) |
| Ownership | Lessor retains ownership | Transfers to lessee at end |
| Residual Value Risk | Lessor draagt risk | Lessee draagt risk |
| Monthly Payment (G650) | €200-350K/maand | €150-250K/maand |
| Early Termination | Mogelijk met 3-6 maanden penalty | Costly - buyout remaining principal |
| Tax Treatment | Payments fully deductible expense | Depreciation + interest deductible |
| MIA/VAMIL Eligible | No (niet owner) | Yes (ownership treatment) |
| Total Cost (10 jaar) | Higher (premium for flexibility) | Lower (ownership economics) |
| Flexibility | High - easy exit/upgrade | Low - committed voor term |
Maandelijkse Leasing Kosten - Across Aircraft Categories
Cost Breakdown by Aircraft Type
Monthly lease rates variëren dramatically based on aircraft size, age, market demand, en lease structure. Below zijn typical Dutch market rates voor verschillende categories:
| Aircraft | Purchase Price | Operating Lease (36-60mo) | Finance Lease (84-120mo) | Total 5-Year Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citation CJ4 | €10M | €40-60K/maand | €30-45K/maand | €2,4-3,6M (operating) |
| Phenom 300E | €8M | €32-50K/maand | €24-38K/maand | €1,92-3M (operating) |
| Citation Latitude | €18M | €70-110K/maand | €55-85K/maand | €4,2-6,6M (operating) |
| Challenger 350 | €25M | €90-140K/maand | €75-110K/maand | €5,4-8,4M (operating) |
| Gulfstream G280 | €23M | €85-130K/maand | €70-100K/maand | €5,1-7,8M (operating) |
| Gulfstream G650 | €50M | €200-350K/maand | €150-250K/maand | €12-21M (operating) |
| Bombardier Global 7500 | €70M | €280-450K/maand | €220-350K/maand | €16,8-27M (operating) |
| Dassault Falcon 8X | €58M | €230-380K/maand | €175-290K/maand | €13,8-22,8M (operating) |
Belangrijk: Bovenstaande rates zijn lease payments only - operating costs (crew, fuel, maintenance, hangar, insurance) zijn additional en lessee verantwoordelijkheid. Voor een G650: €5-6M/jaar operating costs + €2,4-4,2M/jaar lease = €7,4-10,2M total annual cost.
Factors Affecting Lease Rates
Why such wide ranges in monthly payments? Key determinants:
- Lease Term: Longer terms = lower monthly. 84-maand finance lease can be 30-40% lower monthly dan 36-maand operating lease voor same aircraft
- Down Payment: 10-30% down payment typical - higher down reduces financed amount en monthly rate proportionally. €50M G650 met €10M (20%) down = €40M financed, reducing monthly by ~20%
- Aircraft Age & Condition: Newer aircraft (0-5 jaar) command premium rates. Pre-owned 2015 G650 might lease 15-20% cheaper dan factory-new 2026 delivery
- Market Demand: Supply/demand dynamics - G650 shortage in 2024-2025 pushed rates up 10-15%. Oversupply in specific categories reduces rates
- Credit Profile: Strong corporate credit (investment-grade) secures best rates. Weaker credits pay 15-25% premium of require additional collateral/guarantees
- Residual Value Assumptions: Conservative residual estimates (assuming aircraft worth less at end) increase monthly payments om compensate lessor risk
Example: G650 Lease Cost Sensitivity Analysis
Base Scenario: €50M Gulfstream G650, 60-month operating lease
- Baseline: 10% down (€5M), 70% residual assumption, standard credit → €275K/maand
- + Higher Down: 25% down (€12,5M) → reduces monthly to €240K (13% savings)
- + Longer Term: 84-month finance lease → €195K/maand (29% savings maar committed voor 7 jaar)
- + Aggressive Residual: 75% residual vs 70% → €255K/maand (7% savings maar higher balloon payment risk)
- - Weaker Credit: Sub-investment grade → €310K/maand (13% premium)
Takeaway: Negotiating optimal terms can save €30-50K/maand (€360-600K/jaar) - worth engaging aviation finance broker.

Residual Value Considerations - Managing End-of-Lease Risk
Wat is Residual Value?
Residual value is de estimated worth van aircraft aan einde van lease term - critical factor determining monthly lease payments en end-of-lease obligations. For operating lease, lessor assumes residual risk. For finance lease, lessee bears exposure.
Typical Residual Values by Aircraft Age:
| Aircraft | New Price | 5-Year Residual | 10-Year Residual | 15-Year Residual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Citation CJ4 | €10M | €6,0-6,5M (60-65%) | €4,0-4,5M (40-45%) | €2,5-3,0M (25-30%) |
| Challenger 350 | €25M | €16-18M (65-70%) | €11-13M (45-50%) | €7-9M (30-35%) |
| Gulfstream G650 | €50M | €35-37,5M (70-75%) | €25-27,5M (50-55%) | €15-20M (30-40%) |
| Global 7500 | €70M | €49-52,5M (70-75%) | €35-42M (50-60%) | €21-28M (30-40%) |
Factors Affecting Aircraft Residual Values
- Total Time & Cycles: Lower hours = higher value. G650 met 1.500 hours (5 jaar @ 300hrs/year light use) worth €3-5M more dan 3.000 hours (heavy use)
- Maintenance Status: Engines/APU within mid-time between overhauls (TBO) = premium. Aircraft needing imminent €5M engine overhaul discounted heavily
- Avionics & Interior: Recent upgrades (Synthetic Vision, ADS-B Out, refreshed interior) add €2-5M value vs tired 10-year-old original
- Damage History: Clean logs essential - any significant damage history (gear-up landing, heavy turbulence structural, engine failure) reduces value 10-20%
- Market Conditions: Supply/demand cycles - COVID crash saw 15-25% value drops, 2021-2024 recovery pushed values up 10-20%
- Model Popularity: G650 holds value exceptionally well (proven platform, high demand). Older/less popular models depreciate faster
Managing Residual Risk in Finance Leases
Als finance lessee, u draagt residual risk. Mitigation strategies:
- Conservative Residual Assumptions: Bij lease inception, negotiate conservative (lower) residual estimate - protects against market downturns maar increases monthly payments
- Maintenance Programs: Enroll in engine/APU programs (Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Honeywell MSP) - ensures components maintained to mid-time status, preserving resale value
- Proactive Upgrades: Budget €1-2M every 5 jaar voor avionics/interior refreshes - maintains competitive positioning vs newer aircraft
- Usage Management: Target 300-400 hours/jaar vs 600+ heavy use - preserves total time for eventual sale
- Market Timing: Monitor pre-owned market - if values strong at year 7 of 10-year lease, consider early buyout + resale to lock gains
Residual Value Example - Finance Lease Exposure
Scenario: 10-year finance lease van €50M G650, assumed 50% residual (€25M balloon payment at end)
Optimistic Outcome: Aircraft actually worth €28M at year 10 due to strong market + excellent maintenance
- Pay €25M balloon to lessor, immediately sell for €28M = €3M gain
Pessimistic Outcome: Aircraft only worth €20M due to market downturn + high hours
- Pay €25M balloon to lessor, but aircraft only fetches €20M = €5M loss
- Alternative: negotiate with lessor to adjust balloon based on appraisal (not guaranteed - depends on lease terms)
Mitigation: Conservative 45% residual assumption (€22,5M balloon) increases monthly payments €10-15K maar limits downside to €2,5M worst-case vs €5M.
Early Termination & Lease-to-Own Opties
Operating Lease Early Termination
Operating leases typically include early termination provisions - valuable flexibility maar met financial implications:
Typical Early Termination Terms:
- Notice Period: 90-180 dagen advance written notice required
- Termination Fee: 3-6 maanden remaining lease payments als penalty. Example: €250K/maand × 6 months = €1,5M penalty to exit G650 lease early
- Market Value Adjustment: If aircraft current market value < assumed residual, lessee may owe shortfall. Example: G650 assumed €35M residual maar market only €30M = potential €5M exposure (depends on lease terms - sommige leases cap this)
- Return Conditions: Aircraft must meet specified maintenance status - engines/APU within specified TBO remaining, no deferred maintenance, interior/exterior condition standards, all ADs complied with. Failure = financial penalties deducted from security deposit
When Early Termination Makes Sense:
- Business needs change (decreased travel, company sold, shift to charter)
- Upgrade opportunity (newer model available, want longer range/larger cabin)
- Financial distress (cannot sustain lease + operating costs)
- Technology leap (next-gen aircraft met significantly better performance/efficiency)
Cost-Benefit Analysis: Weigh termination penalties (€1,5-5M typical) against continued lease obligations + operating costs (€7-10M/jaar for G650). If only 12 maanden remaining, usually cheaper to ride out lease. If 36+ maanden left en business case weak, early exit can save millions net.
Finance Lease Early Termination - Buyout Required
Finance leases much more costly to exit early:
- Buyout Requirement: Must pay off remaining principal balance - essentially purchasing aircraft outright. Example: 7-year finance lease on €50M G650, exit at year 4 = €25-30M remaining principal due immediately
- Refinancing Option: If liquidity constrained, can refinance remaining balance met new lender - but costly (new origination fees, potentially worse terms)
- Resale Strategy: Buy out lease, immediately resell aircraft - if market strong, might recover most/all of buyout cost. But risky if market weak
Lease-to-Own Structures - Best of Both Worlds
Lease-to-own combines operating lease flexibility met path to eventual ownership:
How Lease-to-Own Works:
- Initial Lease Period: Start met operating lease (typically 48-72 maanden) met standard monthly payments
- Purchase Option: Pre-agreed purchase option aan einde voor predetermined price (typically 60-70% van original value = residual estimate)
- Payment Credits: 10-30% van monthly lease payments credited toward purchase price - building equity over time
- Exercise Option: At lease end, choose to: (A) exercise purchase option + buy aircraft, (B) return aircraft + walk away, or (C) extend lease another term
Example: G650 Lease-to-Own Structure
- Aircraft Value: €50M
- Lease Term: 60 maanden (5 jaar)
- Monthly Payment: €250K
- Total Lease Payments: €250K × 60 = €15M
- Payment Credit: 20% = €3M equity buildup
- Purchase Option: €30M (60% residual)
- Effective Purchase Price: €30M - €3M credits = €27M
- Total Cost: €15M lease + €27M purchase = €42M vs €50M upfront - €8M net savings for deferred payment + flexibility
Lease-to-Own Benefits:
- Try Before Buy: Use aircraft for 5 jaar before committing - ensure it meets needs, test utilization levels, validate business case
- Lower Initial Capital: Spread acquisition over time vs €50M upfront check
- Flexibility to Exit: If circumstances change, return aircraft en forgo purchase - lose payment credits maar avoid ownership depreciation risk
- Tax Optimization: Lease expense deductibility years 1-5, then ownership depreciation/MIA benefits years 6+
- Market Protection: If aircraft values crash, walk away from purchase option - lessor absorbs loss. If values surge, exercise option + capture upside
Lease-to-Own Ideal For: First-time private jet buyers wanting to validate usage before full commitment, businesses uncertain over 5-10 year aircraft needs, buyers wanting maximum flexibility combined met eventual ownership path.
Veelgestelde Vragen - Privéjet Leasing
Wat is het verschil tussen operating lease en finance lease voor een privéjet?
Operating Lease: off-balance-sheet financing, kortere termijn (3-7 jaar), geen residual value risk (lessor houdt ownership), flexibele early return opties, hogere monthly rates (€200-350K/maand voor G650). Finance Lease: on-balance-sheet, langere termijn (7-15 jaar), lessee draagt residual value risk, eigendom transfers aan einde, lagere monthly rates (€150-250K/maand), vergelijkbaar met gespreid kopen. Tax treatment verschillend: operating lease payments direct expense deductible, finance lease als asset met depreciation + interest deduction. Operating lease preferred voor flexibiliteit en off-balance-sheet treatment, finance lease voor lower total cost en eventual ownership.
Wat zijn de maandelijkse kosten voor privéjet leasing?
Citation CJ4 (€10M): Operating lease €40-60K/maand (36-60 maanden), finance lease €30-45K/maand (84-120 maanden). Challenger 350 (€25M): Operating €90-140K/maand, finance €75-110K/maand. Gulfstream G650 (€50M): Operating €200-350K/maand, finance €150-250K/maand. Global 7500 (€70M): Operating €280-450K/maand, finance €220-350K/maand. Rates afhankelijk van lease term (longer = lower monthly), down payment (10-30% reduces payments), aircraft age/condition, lessee credit profile, en residual value assumptions. Operating costs (crew, fuel, maintenance €5-6M/jaar voor G650) zijn additional bovenop lease payments - lessee verantwoordelijk ongeacht lease type.
Welke Nederlandse leasing providers bieden privéjet financing?
Major Dutch/European lessors: (1) ING Lease - specialized aviation finance division, operating + finance leases, strong in corporate jets €10-100M range, Nederlandse entity voor local accounting/tax. (2) Rabobank Corporate Finance - aviation sector team, primarily finance leases, agricultural/corporate cross-collateralization voor farm/business owners. (3) ABN AMRO Lease - corporate aircraft financing, international networks. (4) De Lage Landen (Rabobank subsidiary) - equipment leasing specialist including aviation. International lessors active in Netherlands: BBAM, Avolon, Genesis, Air Lease Corporation (primarily commercial maar soms corporate), dedicated aviation banks (DVB Bank, Natixis). Brokers/advisors: Chapman Freeborn Finance, Colibri Aircraft, Aviation Finance Group coordinate tussen lessees en lessors, negotiate terms.
Hoe werkt residual value bij aircraft leasing?
Residual value = estimated aircraft worth aan einde van lease term. Operating Lease: lessor draagt residual risk - als aircraft worth €30M maar only sells voor €25M, lessor neemt €5M loss, lessee heeft geen exposure. Higher assumed residual = lower monthly payments (lessor recovers meer via sale). Finance Lease: lessee draagt residual risk - bij einde, lessee koopt aircraft voor predetermined residual (balloon payment) of returns aircraft en compensates lessor voor shortfall if market value < residual. Typische residual values na 5 jaar: G650 70-75% van original €50M = €35-37,5M, Citation CJ4 60-65% van €10M = €6-6,5M. Na 10 jaar: G650 50-55% = €25-27,5M. Factors: aircraft age, total time, market demand, engine status, avionics obsolescence. Conservative residual estimates bij lease inception protect both parties maar increase monthly payments.
Kan ik een leased privéjet voortijdig beëindigen?
Ja, maar met financial implications. Operating Lease Early Termination: (1) Standard termination fees: 3-6 maanden remaining lease payments als penalty. (2) Market value shortfall: als aircraft worth minder dan residual, may owe difference. (3) Return conditions: aircraft must meet specified maintenance status (engines within OH cycle, no major damage, logs current). Example: terminate €200K/maand G650 lease met 24 maanden remaining = €1,2M penalty (6 months × €200K) plus potential market shortfall. Finance Lease Early Termination: betaal remaining principal balance (essentially buying out lease) of refinance met new lender. Veel costlier - typisch total remaining payments €10-30M+ depending on years left. Lease-to-own provisions: sommige contracts include pre-agreed buyout schedule reducing penalties. Life events (bankruptcy, business closure) may have force majeure provisions maar rare in aircraft leases.
Wat is een lease-to-own structure voor privéjets?
Lease-to-own (ook wet lease with purchase option) combines leasing flexibility met eventual ownership path. Structure: start met operating lease (bijvoorbeeld 5 jaar), pre-agreed purchase option aan einde voor predetermined price (residual value - typically 60-70% original). Monthly payments partially credited toward purchase price (10-30% van payments = equity buildup). Example: €50M G650, 60-maand lease à €250K/maand = €15M total payments. Purchase option €30M (60% residual). 20% payment credit = €3M buildup, effective purchase €27M. Total cost €15M lease + €27M purchase = €42M over 5 jaar vs €50M upfront. Benefits: (1) Lower initial capital outlay, (2) Try-before-buy (ensure aircraft fits needs), (3) Flexibility to walk away (forfeiting credits maar avoiding depreciation risk), (4) Tax optimization (lease expense deductibility years 1-5, then ownership depreciation). Ideal voor buyers uncertain over long-term needs of willen upgraden to newer models.
Welke tax implicaties heeft privéjet leasing in Nederland?
Operating Lease Tax Treatment: monthly lease payments fully deductible als operating expense (€200K × 12 = €2,4M/jaar voor G650 = €620K annual VPB shield @ 25,8% rate). BTW: 21% BTW op lease payments recoverable bij >70% zakelijk gebruik - €2,4M payments × 21% = €504K annual BTW recovery. Off-balance-sheet: aircraft niet op balance sheet, verbetert debt/equity ratios, geen depreciation required. Finance Lease Tax Treatment: treated als asset purchase - aircraft op balance sheet, depreciate over 10-20 jaar (€3,3M/jaar voor €50M aircraft = €850K tax shield). Interest portion van payments deductible separately. BTW: 21% op implicit purchase price recoverable upfront (€10,5M op €50M aircraft). MIA/VAMIL: finance lease may qualify voor accelerated depreciation benefits (see zakelijk/belasting guide). Operating vs Finance decision factors: off-balance-sheet preference favors operating, maximum tax shield jaar 1 favors finance (met VAMIL), eventual ownership intent favors finance.
Wat gebeurt er bij aircraft damage tijdens lease?
Lessee verantwoordelijk voor maintaining aircraft in airworthy condition en insured for full hull value. Insurance Requirements: hull insurance (all-risk physical damage) for agreed value (typically purchase price €50M), liability insurance minimum €50-100M, loss-payee endorsement naming lessor as primary beneficiary, war risk + terrorism coverage. Incident Scenarios: (1) Total Loss (accident, crash): insurance pays agreed value naar lessor (settles lease), lessee discharged van lease obligations maar loses any equity/down payment. (2) Major Damage (repairable): insurance covers repairs, lessee ensures aircraft restored to pre-loss condition, may face downtime costs/penalties if grounded extended period. (3) Minor Damage: lessee pays deductible (€50-250K typical), insurance covers excess, repair must meet lessor-approved facilities. (4) Engine FOD: specialized engine coverage, lessee coordinates repairs, lessor approval required voor engine shops. Return Conditions: at lease end, aircraft must meet specified maintenance status - engines with minimum time remaining, no damage history, interior/exterior condition standards, all ADs complied with. Failure to meet return conditions = financial penalties deducted from security deposit.
Hoe werkt de approval process voor aircraft leasing?
Leasing Application Process: (1) Pre-Qualification (1-2 weken): submit financial statements (3 jaar), business plan/use case, credit history, personal financials voor principals. Lessor evaluates creditworthiness, debt capacity, aviation experience. (2) Term Sheet Negotiation (1-3 weken): upon preliminary approval, negotiate key terms - aircraft specifications, lease duration, monthly payments, down payment (10-30%), residual value, early termination provisions, usage restrictions. (3) Due Diligence (2-4 weken): full credit underwriting, corporate structure review, verification van business operations, reference checks met aviation providers. (4) Aircraft Selection & Inspection (2-6 weken): identify specific aircraft (new order of pre-owned), pre-buy inspection door independent surveyor, records review, title search, lessor approves acquisition. (5) Documentation (2-4 weken): lease agreement drafting, security agreements, insurance certificates, intercreditor agreements (if existing lenders), corporate guarantees. (6) Funding & Delivery (1-2 weken): down payment wire, first month payment, aircraft delivery ceremony, registration transfers. Total timeline: 8-20 weken van application naar aircraft keys. Pre-owned aircraft faster (8-12 weken), new factory orders longer (maar leasing can begin at delivery 18-36 months out).
Wat zijn veelvoorkomende lease restrictions voor privéjets?
Typical Lease Covenants & Restrictions: (1) Geographic Limitations - approved territories (typically EASA countries, US, select others), restricted/war zones prohibited zonder pre-approval, insurance invalidation in certain regions triggers lease violation. (2) Usage Restrictions - commercial charter zonder lessor approval typically prohibited (erodes residual value door high utilization), personal use vs business usage minimums (maintain >70% business for tax compliance), subleasing to third parties requires written consent. (3) Maintenance Requirements - comply with OEM service bulletins + ADs within prescribed timeframes, use approved Part 145 MRO facilities, engine/APU reserves accrual (€500-1000/hour escrow voor overhauls), annual maintenance audits door lessor-approved inspector. (4) Financial Covenants - maintain minimum net worth (typically 3-5× annual lease payments), debt-to-equity ratio limits (<3:1 typical), prohibition on additional liens without lessor consent. (5) Insurance Minimums - hull value coverage (agreed value), liability €50-100M+, named insured + loss payee endorsements, 30-day cancellation notice to lessor. (6) Modification Restrictions - major modifications (interior reconfigurations, avionics upgrades) require pre-approval, paint scheme changes often restricted, installations must be STC'd + certified. Violation Consequences: technical default triggers notice period (typically 30 days to cure), uncured defaults = acceleration (full remaining payments due immediately), lessor repossession rights, personal guarantees activated.
