If you can view your airplane as a "tool" and
you've got income to support an airplane payment. . . a "leaseback" may
be right for you! A leaseback is an arrangement in which an individual
purchases an airplane and allows a flight school to manage and operate
the airplane in his or her flight school. Properly structured, a "win,
win, win" situation is created.
Win #1: A flight school, which is generally cash strapped can now
attract new students more effectively and be more competitive in the
market place while retaining capital for advertising and other
operating expenses.
Win #2: The owner of the airplane who has no other
business use for the airplane, now has legitimate business use and the
ability to depreciate the equipment and benefit from the tax benefit
that comes from this depreciation. This can be very significant and the
depreciation can be as much as 42% of the aircraft value in the first
year!
Win#3: The customer wins when he/she can learn to
fly in a brand new airplane (new airplanes are most profitable for a
leaseback due to the waranty) sporting equipment found in some of the
best corporate aircraft.
Evaluating the leaseback opportunity and creating
a business plan to determine if a leaseback is right for you is a step
that should not be done in haste. Visit www.airplanenoise.com
