The equipment need

A company specializing in aerial work wanted to strengthen its cash position and optimize its financial structure.

The goal was to unlock the value of an active aircraft in its fleet without interrupting operations.

The transaction, above $1.1 million, required an in-depth technical, financial and administrative review of the aircraft.

The support described in the project

Leaseworld arranged a sale-leaseback on the aircraft while it remained in active service.

The transaction released cash immediately while the company kept using the aircraft.

The 84-month term was set to preserve the financial balance of the flight operations.

The reported operational outcome

The company's cash position was strengthened with no impact on operations.

Its financial structure was improved by unlocking the value of a strategic asset.

The aircraft remained fully available for aerial work missions.
