Aircraft Transactions Advisory
Acquisition, leasing, ACMI, and sale-leaseback structuring across the transaction lifecycle.
Aircraft transactions — whether acquisitions, leases, ACMI placements, or charter agreements — combine commercial, operational, technical, and financial complexity that few operators or investors are equipped to navigate alone. MARS supports clients across the transaction lifecycle, from market scan and structure design through negotiation, technical inspection, and closing.
What we cover
- Aircraft acquisition advisory (new and used, narrowbody and widebody)
- Operating lease and finance lease structuring
- ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, Insurance) placement and negotiation
- Wet lease and charter contract structuring
- Technical and commercial pre-purchase inspection coordination
- Lessor selection and negotiation support
- Sale-leaseback structuring
Who it's for
Operators planning fleet additions or rotations; investors evaluating direct aircraft investment; lessors structuring placements; sellers managing fleet exits.
How we engage
Transaction work is structured around defined milestones — typically letter of intent, technical inspection, definitive agreements, closing — with clear scope at each stage. Engagement may be on a project-fee, success-fee, or blended basis depending on the client's preference.
