SALE/LEASEBACK
Sale-leaseback is a method of financing. If your company needs liquidity, your aircraft or engine can serve as collateral for a loan throughout a sale-leaseback transaction. Sale-leaseback can free the equity tied up in aircraft or asset. Even if there is no pressing need for funds, a sale-leaseback allows you to use the equity tied up in your aircraft in a more productive fashion. Leaseback arrangements are usually employed because they confer financing, accounting or taxation benefits.
PASSENGER TO FREIGHTER CONVERSION(P2F)
Full Freighter Conversions
Because of the strongest demand ever for freighters, there are several new conversion lines that emerged during 2021. These include options for both wide (B767’s, B777’s, A330’s) which first slots could become available mostly during late 2022 but the majority would be for 2023/2024 period. There are also several options currently available on one aisle aircraft bodies (B737-800’s, A321’s).
Class “E” Supplemental Conversions
Pandemic has seen the resurgence of operators packing freight into the main cabins of passenger aircraft.
Carriers have been allowed to transport cargo in the cabin by removing passenger seats completely. FAA/EASA have established exemptions that allow operators to fly in “Preighter” configuration for a limited time. Norwood is closely working with two firms that are developing a Class E Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for applicability on B777 aircraft which will include a cargo door for containerized freight in its final conversion phase. Final approvals are expected during current year.
At Norwood we could evaluate your specific market requirement and be able to provide professional advice to determine whether an alternate Class E supplemental conversion could be a fit to meet a specific cargo program.
DRY LEASE
A dry lease is a leasing arrangement whereby an aircraft financing entity (lessor) provides an aircraft without crew. Dry lease is typically used by leasing companies and banks, requiring the lessee to put the aircraft on its own air operator’s certificate (AOC) and provide aircraft registration. A typical dry lease lasts upwards several years and bears certain conditions with respect to depreciation, maintenance, insurances, etc., depending also on the geographical location, political circumstances, etc. Norwood may lease aircraft from our own portfolio on dry lease basis or could engage in procuring the aircraft of your choice.
A dry lease arrangement can also be made between a major airline and a regional airline, in which the major airline provides the aircraft and the regional operator provides flight crews, maintenance and other operational aspects of the aircraft, which then may be operated under the major airline’s name or some similar name. A dry lease saves the major airline the expense of training personnel to fly and maintain the aircraft, along with other considerations such as staggered union contracts, regional airport staffing, etc.
