Flexible Financing Services

What it is

Asset-based financing uses a borrower’s aircraft as the primary collateral to secure a loan. This method focuses more on the asset value than a borrower’s financial history and overall credit worthiness to determine the loan structure, duration, and underwriting approval requirements.

How we do it

JSSI Aviation Capital (JAC) takes a flexible, partnership-driven approach with the borrower to develop a financing structure that is based on the underwritten value of the aircraft and desired terms of the agreement. We pride ourselves in delivering a solution that aligns with your financing needs while aiming to maximize long-term asset value.

Today’s Market

The global business aircraft market sees approximately $30 billion in annual transaction volume, with roughly 2,000 pre-owned aircraft sold each year. Data shows that 30–35% of these transactions require financing, yet the market remains underserved, fragmented, and constrained by traditional lenders.[2]
Many banks and specialty finance firms have entered the space, but there is still a need for lenders that can offer flexible, scalable capital across aircraft ages, loan sizes, and geography. Today, buyers and brokers often face inconsistent terms, limited options, and lengthy approval cycles.

JAC delivers a different approach.

We apply real aircraft value and aim to underwrite risk creatively, bringing credibility, agility, and specialized aviation expertise to every transaction. The result: financing solutions that align with your goals and expand what’s possible for your clients.

Financing Options

We create structures to fit your specific needs.

Bridge Loans, Short-Term Loans & Refinancing
