LOAN STRUCTURE

Built for Today’s Aviation Financing Market.

Global air travel demand remains strong while aircraft supply remains constrained. At the same time, many traditional lenders have become more selective, creating a financing gap for airlines and aviation asset owners.



ITE Aviation Lending was built to fill that gap.

Every loan begins with the collateral. We evaluate each aircraft and engine based on its quality, demand, liquidity, and long-term value, considering factors such as asset type, age, operator, lease profile, maintenance condition, jurisdiction, and remarketing potential. That asset-first approach allows us to structure financing around the realities of each transaction.

OUR TEAM

Decades of Aviation Experience Across Market Cycles.

The ITE Lending team brings experience across aircraft leasing, aviation finance, airlines, asset management, and credit underwriting. Our professionals have worked across the aviation ecosystem and understand both the assets and the financing structures that support them.
