Independent aviation and marine finance brokerage firm JetLoan Capital arranged approximately $250 million in aircraft and yacht financing last year, completing loan funding for 60 transactions across asset classes.
JetLoan Capital president Sam Harris said borrower interest remained strong across the light, midsize, and large-cabin business jet segments, “supported by the reinstatement of bonus depreciation, relatively stable aircraft values, and declining interest rates. These factors are giving buyers confidence to move forward with both new acquisitions and refinancing opportunities.”
The transactions included business jets, turboprops, piston aircraft, helicopters, yachts, recreational vessels, and aircraft hangars. The company said activity spanned both newer and older aircraft models, reflecting continued depth in buyer demand.
In August,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2025-08-05/jetloan-sees-sustained-bizav-market-resurgence">Harris said</a> JetLoan Capital had already begun to see a market rebound following a brief slowdown earlier in the year, reporting that business was up 25% year over year. At that time, the company cited easing tariff uncertainty, challenges with airline reliability, and optimism around interest rates as factors supporting renewed momentum, with expectations for sustained transaction activity.

Issues regarding financing of aircraft; aviation insurance; tax issues for aircraft operators; new companies and people in the aviation financing and insurance industries.
