Renting and Leasing Information

 

The articles gives you the basics of why people do lease a helicopter for short term or long term and what are the advantages of helicopter leasing over buying one.

Short term Solution - Helicopter leasing

Assume for a moment that you are a Hollywood producer wanting to make new movie as a sequel to the original movie featuring among other things an Apache helicopter and the last minute fights over the sea. How you will you go about it? Would you buy the helicopter outright, or would like to request your friend to lend you one or hire a helicopter or lease one?

Imagine another scene where you are the top industrialist with a wide bodied jet plane of your own and you require another one to ferry you for about 2 years to ferry you from the nearest airport to a small town where you are building up a new plant with an air strip that can land your wide body jet.  You will either purchase a helicopter or you may even lease a helicopter.

Leasing a helicopter will have many advantages. May be if you are a top industrialist or a movie produces you will already know that leasing a helicopter makes better sense and your Chief Financial Officer will just nod his head when you think of leasing a helicopter.

The CFO will just nod his head not because he/she is your yes man, but knows the business very well and knows about the benefits of leasing the helicopter instead of purchasing one and taking on more liabilities that your organization can handle.
