Specialized Helicopter Financing for Malaysian Aviation

Yes, we specialize in helicopter financing including Robinson R66, R44, Airbus H125, Bell 505, and other commercial aircraft. We understand aviation assets and their unique financing requirements including airworthiness, insurance, and operational considerations.

We finance Robinson (R66 Turbine Marine, R44 Raven), Airbus Helicopters (H125, H130), Bell (505, 407), Leonardo (AW109), and other turbine and piston helicopters from established manufacturers. Both new and pre-owned aircraft are considered.

Down payments typically range from 20-40% depending on aircraft type, age, condition, and buyer profile. For Robinson R66 Marine (RM 3.5-4.5M), expect RM 700k-1.8M down payment. We structure terms based on aircraft use and cash flow requirements.

Aircraft financing terms are typically 5-12 years depending on aircraft age, type, and intended use. Newer turbine aircraft may qualify for longer terms (10-12 years) while older aircraft typically have shorter terms (5-7 years). We match terms to aircraft useful life and operational cash flow.

Absolutely. Many corporations finance helicopters for executive transport, site access (plantations, construction, mining), emergency evacuation, and operational efficiency. We structure corporate financing to optimize tax benefits and operational cash flow for business helicopter operations.

Required documents include: Corporate registration (for companies), personal/corporate financial statements, aircraft purchase agreement or LOI, aircraft logbooks and maintenance records, insurance quotes, intended use documentation, and pilot qualifications. We guide you through aviation-specific requirements.

Yes, we finance quality pre-owned helicopters from reputable manufacturers. Aircraft must pass pre-purchase inspection and airworthiness evaluation. We work with aviation specialists to assess aircraft condition, maintenance history, and market value for financing decisions.

While we focus on aircraft financing, training costs can sometimes be included in aircraft financing packages for owner-pilots. Commercial operators often finance aircraft and training together to ensure proper operation and insurance compliance.

Aviation insurance is mandatory and must be in place before aircraft delivery. This includes hull insurance (physical damage) and liability coverage. We can assist with introductions to aviation insurance brokers experienced in Malaysian helicopter operations.

Evaluation considers aircraft model, age, total time, maintenance history, avionics upgrades, market demand, and operational configuration. Current market conditions and aircraft availability also factor into valuations.

Yes, foreigners with valid Malaysian business registration or long-term visas can apply for helicopter financing. Requirements include Malaysian corporate structure, local business operations, and compliance with Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM) ownership regulations for aircraft registration.

Operating costs for Robinson R66 are approximately RM 400-700k annually (100-300 flight hours) including fuel, maintenance, insurance, hangar, and pilot costs. We factor operational costs into financing decisions to ensure sustainable operations and payment capacity.

Aviation financing typically takes 2-4 weeks for complete evaluation including aircraft assessment, financial review, and documentation. Complex transactions or unique aircraft may require additional time. We expedite approvals for time-sensitive aircraft purchases or operational requirements.
