Aircraft Technical and Financial Due Diligence

Aircraft are not only operating tools for airlines, lessors, banks or their owners: they also carry potential liabilities or sizeable financial exposure.

It is therefore crucial to make sure that these are all accurately assessed and factored in when any transaction is contemplated.

This concern governs Altair’s approach to the technical and financial due diligence services we offer our customers. These encompass:

✓   Technical, operational and market studies on aircraft types, including a variety of topics such as estimation of operating costs, or outlook of future developments
✓   Aircraft technical surveys and valuations (up to comprehensive appraisals), including maintenance costs forecasts if required
✓   Reviews of regulatory, legal and fiscal implications

Typical turn-key services:

Aircraft procurement and disposal
Aircraft financing and refinancing
Dry and wet lease
Restitution management
Fleet management and restructuring
Aircraft reconfiguration and conversion

“ATI (Air Transport International) needed a highly competent and multi-skilled approach to purchase, put back in flight and export two French Air Force DC-8 aircraft for our cargo business based in Arkansas. We worked with Christian Castang and Jean Semiramoth because it was an exceptionally complex project involving purchase negotiation, export administration and de-asbestos operations. Their knowledge was invaluable to the success of the deal.”
