If the helicopter is currently in inventory, it can be ready for pickup as soon as one week after your lease is approved and security deposit is received. If we don’t have one in inventory, we can usually get a new or used aircraft on the open market in about a month.
Once you’ve chosen the helicopter you wish to lease, you’ll complete the lease application. After approval, the security deposit and 1st month’s payment will be due. The refundable security deposit amount will be determined after submission of the lease application and is determined based on the lessee’s credit history as well as the intended location and use of the Helicopter.
We pay for the parts necessary to comply with ADs and the operator pays for the labor to comply with ADs and parts and labor to comply with SBs.
The minimum requirements for all Lessees are determined on a case-by-case basis. Our leases have an averaging system so that if you don’t meet the minimum in a slow month, you can use those hours in a busier month (see the lease for details). The Monthly Lease Option does not have a minimum usage requirement.
Any warranties will be specific to the aircraft selected.
