At Millard Financial, we work with the limited pool of Australian lenders who genuinely understand aviation finance, including private aircraft, commercial helicopters, charter fleets and aviation business assets. Whether you're a private pilot or running a commercial operation, we structure finance that fits.

Found Millard Financial online. Had a very unique and challenging circumstance wit my business. Marcus and his team worked around the clock going above and beyond to assist me. Had already sought help from other brokers but had no luck. Millard Financial found me unbelievable rates and terms that only years of knowledge and relationships with lenders would be able to provide. Extremely honest and efficient work. Couldn't recommend Millard Financial anymore.

Millard Financial was able to quickly secure equipment finance for an excavator for our family business when all other banks and brokers had told us they couldn't help. This is now the third time I've used Marcus and it's just so easy. Thanks! Jess and Josh.

Marcus is such a professional. Everything went smoothly, and he answered every question I wasn't sure of. I'd recommend Marcus 100% if you're looking for finance with a smooth transaction and full transparency. Thanks, Marcus.

frequently asked questions

Common questions about aviation finance for Australian operators and private owners.

What types of aircraft can be financed?
Aviation finance covers fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, ultralights, gliders, and commercial aircraft. Both new and used aircraft qualify with specialist aviation lenders.
Do I need to be a commercial operator to get aviation finance?
No. Both private owners and commercial operators (charter, training, agriculture, emergency services) can access aviation finance, though rates and terms differ between use cases.
What deposit is needed for aviation finance?
Aviation deposits typically range from 20 to 30% due to higher asset values and specialist resale markets. Strong operators with consistent revenue may secure lower deposits.
How long does aviation finance take to arrange?
Aviation deals typically take 1 to 2 weeks due to additional due diligence on the aircraft, registration, and operator. Initial indicative approvals can come back in 48 to 72 hours.
