Aircraft Sales

The Sales Division was originally set up to manage the marketing and sales of in-house aircraft owned from within the group.  The experience and expertise gained through the marketing of these aircraft progressively led to the ability to offer an effective and expert aircraft sales service to customers around the world.

As the market developed the Sales Division has expanded rapidly enabling the company to become a leading provider of turboprop aircraft world-wide.

Aircraft have been sold to buyers from the USA, the Far East, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Extensive aviation data from various sources, including manufacturers and operators, provides research capability based on theoretical performance and expectations as well as the actual practical realities achieved in operation.

Dry Leasing

The Leasing Division has conducted over five hundred leases ranging in length from three weeks to over three years.  As the market has developed so has the division, to become one of the leading companies for the lease of turboprop and jet aircraft world-wide.

The prevailing market demand is for aircraft for short or medium term lease without making a long term commitment.  The most common needs are for contracts of fixed duration, route proving new schedules links and airline start-ups.

Excess capacity can be provided on behalf of airlines and operators who either cannot or do not wish to sell their aircraft but find they have temporary non-productive equipment. A short term lease relieves the overhead burden whilst maintaining income for maintenance check provision.

The Leasing Division aircraft analysis and fleet acquisition policy allows BAC Leasing & Sales to purchase aircraft with proven commercial success and in turn offer effective revenue generating aircraft to operators at competitive lease rates.

The leasing activity generates an exchange of information with clients, where useful and effective advice on any aircraft in the fleet is provided.
