Aircraft Leasing

Helicopter operators around the world rely on their helicopters for the growth of their businesses. However, the value of those helicopters comes from their efficient use, not necessarily their ownership.

Leasing helicopters from Daedalus Group allows you to entrust the risks and uncertainties of ownership to Daedalus Group, freeing you to concentrate effectively upon the use of that helicopter to generate the maximum amount of revenue.

Leasing offers numerous advantages:

Retain Capital Strength: Leasing allows your business to purchase the equipment and technology needed today while spreading payments affordably across time.

Speed: Leasing allows you to respond quickly as the need for lift arises. Normally we can approve your operation for a lease within 48 hours.

Flexibility: Businesses grow and change over time. With a lease, you can add to or upgrade at any point through add-on leases or master leases.

Avoid obsolescence: Because your lift requirements may change, leasing with Daedalus Group provides flexibility, an extremely attractive option.

Customized solutions: Leasing allows you to structure a financing program that addresses key business issues including: cash flow, budget, transaction, and cyclical fluctuations.

Tax advantages: Generally, tax authorities do not consider an operating lease to be a purchase but rather a tax-deductible overhead expense.

Asset management: A lease for Tailor Made Lift provides you with a helicopter for specific periods of time at fixed payments. It assumes and manages the risk of equipment ownership.

Risk Management

A significant part of any financing arrangement is sound risk management of the asset. Appropriate and comprehensive insurance from a quality insurer is important. Through the Daedalus Group connection to the insurance market, we can help customers have peace of mind in this regard.
