Commercial Aircraft Sales and Leasing
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COM : Commercial Aircraft Sales and Leasing
Commercial Sales and Leasing (CASL) is a common phrase used to describe organizations which typically market used commercial airliners and related equipment governments and other various customers from manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus as a primary function. CASL companies are often referred as aircraft lessors.
Small startup airlines which are usually not in a financial position to afford brand-new factory-direct aircraft, or established carriers who prefer to maintain flexibility by leasing rather than owning their aircraft, will typically work with a CASL company to locate and procure used aircraft for lease or finance. The aircraft may be provided to the airline on the basis of an operating lease or a finance lease.
A number of commercial banks, hedge funds and financial institutions are active in the aircraft leasing business: the two largest and best-known CASL companies are GECAS and ILFC. Their indendent revenues rank into the billions of dollars. Smaller companies active in the field include Aircastle and Singapore Aircraft Leasing Enterprise (SALE).
