Bombardier Financing and Leasing

Identify the aircraft and its intended mission

Provide the model, variant, serial number, year and complete specification. Explain whether it will support company travel, an aircraft-management arrangement or another identified operation. Have an aviation specialist assess the cabin, mission capability and operating suitability rather than choosing on purchase price alone.

Bombardier’s 2024 Annual Information Form describes its Challenger and Global families, pre-owned activity and customer services. It is background on the manufacturer, not confirmation of today’s inventory or coverage for your aircraft.

Put maintenance and records at the centre of the review

Request airframe hours and cycles, engine and APU status, maintenance tracking, inspections due and repair history. An independent pre-purchase review should establish the work required before acceptance and identify upcoming costs that may compete with debt payments.

If the seller advertises a maintenance plan, warranty or certified pre-owned status, verify it directly with the provider. Confirm transferability, remaining coverage and unpaid balances. Do not treat every used Bombardier aircraft as part of a manufacturer-certified program.

Separate the aircraft price from entry-into-service costs

Itemize the agreed price, inspection, closing fees, delivery, training and any cabin or avionics work. Keep operating reserves for insurance, hangar, crew and maintenance not covered by a program. Ask which acquisition costs a lender will accept.

Imported aircraft add transaction steps and timing risk. Consult Transport Canada’s aircraft registration information and qualified aviation advisers for the proposed ownership and registration arrangement. A loan approval does not resolve those requirements.

Compare the full financing commitment

Review loan options and leasing against your ownership horizon. Compare upfront cash, payment schedule, final obligations, permitted use and early settlement terms, not just the monthly figure.

Request a Bombardier aircraft financing review with the seller’s specification, purchase currency, aircraft location and business financials. Mehmi’s brokerage review is independent of Bombardier and does not imply manufacturer affiliation.

Bombardier equipment financing market context

Quick answer: Bombardier financing is generally reviewed using the purchase price, exact configuration, age and time-in-service where relevant, maintenance and inspection status, seller, expected useful life, business cash flow, credit profile and requested term. New and used aviation assets may be considered, but final structure depends on the specific asset, transaction, lender and jurisdiction.

In ELFA’s 2025 Survey of Equipment Finance Activity, corporate aircraft represented 2.7% of 2024 annual new business volume by equipment type among respondents. That figure is a broad aviation-finance benchmark and does not imply every aircraft, engine or ground-support asset fits the same credit profile. See the ELFA Survey of Equipment Finance Activity for the underlying U.S. industry data.

ELFA’s July 2026 CapEx Finance Index reported $14.3 billion in seasonally adjusted new business volume among surveyed member companies, with year-to-date volume 16.8% above the same period in 2025. In Canada, Statistics Canada reported 2026 machinery and equipment capital-spending intentions of about C$127.2 billion. Review the July 2026 CapEx Finance Index and Statistics Canada’s 2026 capital expenditure release.

What can affect a Bombardier financing decision?

• Asset details: model, serial or registration information, year, hours/cycles where applicable, configuration, maintenance status, records and expected useful life.
• Transaction quality: seller verification, ownership and liens, itemized invoice, deposit, inspection, delivery and asset location.
• Business profile: operating history, revenue and cash flow, existing obligations, credit profile, intended commercial use and supporting contracts where relevant.
