Commonly Financed Aircraft

Recently Funded Aircraft

7-year term / 20-year amortization

Mid Corporate General Contractor in GA | $8,400,000

The client financed two aircraft, the 2022 Embraer Phenom 300E, to satisfy the private travel needs of their executive team. The business was able to benefit from an interest rate swap with City National Bank on their floating rate aircraft loan with First American to fix the rate for the duration of the loan term.

Private jet taking off

5-year term / 15-year amortization

Ultra-High Net Worth Individual in GA | $16,500,000

Fixed-rate aircraft loan for a 2021 Bombardier Challenger 650 provided a more competitive and cost-effective option than the floating rate loan the client had with a specialty lender.

Business jet plane on the ground

10-year term / 15-year amortization

Ultra-High Net Worth Individual in CA | $55,000,000

The client benefited from First American's progress payment capabilities during the build stage of this brand-new Gulfstream G650 aircraft to limit the cash outlays required by Gulfstream. The client also locked the rate in advance of the delivery of the aircraft with a forward swap through City National Bank, allowing them to save on interest costs and avoid several rate hikes between the order and delivery.
