Global Jet Capital sees increasing need for finance

Global Jet Capital has seen a strong increase in enquiries to finance mid to heavy private jets, with enquiries during the third quarter of this year were 59% higher than the second quarter of 2016 and 240% higher than the same period last year.

Global Jet Capital estimates that as much as $17.5 billion of funding will be needed in 2017 for business jet deliveries.  It estimates that around 27% of this will be raised by high net worth individuals, with the rest evenly split between private and publicly listed companies. 

The company currently has $2.5 billion in assets under management and is revealing today that around 67% of this is through leasing via an operating lease and the remaining 33% is where it has provided funding to clients via loans and capital leases.

Shawn Vick, Executive Director and Chairman of Executive Committee, Global Jet Capital, said:  “The majority of acquisitions of new and pre-owned jets use third-party capital to fully or partially fund the acquisition of the private aircraft they wish to use. We offer a range of tailored solutions and are seeing a growing interest across all of these.
