Investments in Aviation
Air transport connects people over long distances. Cargo planes supply even remote places with everyday necessities. Helicopters are used for rescue. These examples show that air transport is indispensable. That is why the demand will continue to grow in the future.
As an investment, the asset class offers the advantage that aircraft, engines and helicopters can be secured individually and can basically be used worldwide at any time. The investment is therefore not tied to a specific location. In addition, the aviation market is highly regulated and standardised for safety reasons alone. Investors benefit from stable cash flows that can be planned over the long term.

It is assumed that the aircraft / turbine is in good condition, the hypothetical sales partners are willing and creditworthy and the sale takes place in an open and unregulated market.
TheCurrent Maintenance Adjusted Market Value is theprobable realisation value. The valuation takes into account current aircraft / turbine conditions, such as, for example, hours (flight hours) cycles (take-offs and landings) and maintenance as well as the current market.
Maintenance reserves are the maintenance reserves, also known as rental surcharge. These are the amounts collected during the lease term in order to cover the costs of maintenance.
Full life refers to the operating state of an aircraft or a turbine that corresponds to zero hours of flight. A contract with the return in full-life condition stipulates that in cases where worn parts are not replaced or fundamentally overhauled, financial compensation payments must be made.
