Trusted Bell financing solutions partners
Our team has secured over $3 billion in funding for aircraft. Let us work to secure funding for your next Bell helicopter acquisition or refinance, so that you can focus on what is most important.
Financing the World's Most Popular Helicopter Fleet
Bell, a Textron company, has built more than 13,000 civil and military helicopters in service worldwide. The Bell 407 alone has over 1,600 deliveries since 1996. The Bell 206 JetRanger series exceeded 7,300 units. No other helicopter manufacturer offers lenders this depth of transaction data, parts availability, and resale liquidity.
Helicopter financing requires specialized lender knowledge. Rotor-wing collateral involves component life limits, TBO-driven maintenance cycles, and mission-specific configurations. The Bell fleet’s size and familiarity work in the borrower’s favor: lenders who know Bell aircraft underwrite them confidently.
Current production includes the 505 Jet Ranger X, the 407GXi, the 429 light twin, and the 412EPX medium twin. JetLoan Capital finances both new and pre-owned Bell helicopters across all current and legacy models.
