AVIATION FINANCE

High-value finance for aviation.

Aviation finance is a specialist field. Aircraft are high-value, regulated assets with unique resale dynamics, residual values and operational requirements. 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.

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.
