Aviara leases mid-life, ultra-long-range business jets — and manages them, and offsets their cost through charter — under a single agreement. One counterparty, one contract, and an all-in hourly cost that a new aircraft purchase, a fractional share or a jet card struggles to match.
Owning a new aircraft means committing capital, absorbing depreciation and assembling a chain of providers. Aviara replaces all of it with one agreement, one aircraft dedicated to you, and a cost you can budget to the hour.
No eight-figure purchase, no financing package, no capital locked into a depreciating asset — just a predictable monthly lease rental.
Aviara owns the aircraft and carries its future value. What the market does to residuals over your lease term is our exposure, not yours.
A dedicated tail — not a rotating fleet. Your configuration, your crew, guaranteed availability, no peak-day blackouts or call-out windows.
Renew, upgrade to a different type, or simply hand the aircraft back. No sale process, no remarketing risk, no stranded asset.
Aviara concentrates on well-maintained large-cabin jets in the middle of their working life. These aircraft fly the same missions as a new delivery — the same range, the same cabin, the same global support network — at a materially lower capital base. That difference is what drives the lease rate, and the lease rate is what drives your cost per hour.
A large-cabin jet loses the steepest part of its value in its earliest years. A lessee flying a brand-new aircraft is, in effect, paying for that decline — whether through a purchase, a fractional share, or a jet card priced off new-aircraft economics.
By the time an aircraft reaches its eighth year, the curve has flattened considerably. Capability is unchanged and the type is mature, well understood and fully supported. Aviara acquires in that window, so the value it consumes over a lease term is a fraction of what a new aircraft consumes over the same period.
Every aircraft is selected on maintenance status, programme enrolment, damage history and configuration before it enters the fleet.
Intercontinental range with a genuine three-zone cabin. A deep global fleet means strong parts availability and a mature support network.
The long-range benchmark. Exceptional despatch reliability and the widest worldwide service footprint of any large-cabin type.
Three-engine efficiency and short-field performance, opening airports that larger twins cannot use — with notably lower fuel burn per hour.
Aviara is type-agnostic within the large-cabin segment. If your mission profile points to a different aircraft, we will source and structure around it — the model works across most types and vintages.
Most private aircraft arrangements involve at least three counterparties: a lessor or financier, a management company, and a charter broker. Each takes a margin, and none of them is accountable for your total cost. Aviara brings all three together, which is where the savings actually come from.
A dedicated aircraft on a structured operating lease, sized to your mission profile and term.
Crewing, maintenance oversight, insurance and regulatory compliance handled end to end.
When you are not flying, the aircraft can earn. Third-party charter revenue is credited against your cost.
Why this matters: a typical owner flies 200–400 hours a year, leaving an expensive asset idle for most of it. Putting those unused hours to work is the single largest lever on effective cost per hour — and it only works when the lessor, the manager and the charter programme are aligned rather than competing for margin.
Total cost per hour is what you actually pay to fly, once capital, depreciation, fixed costs and every provider margin are counted. Four structural features of the Aviara model push it down.
Lease rentals are priced off a mid-life asset value, not a new delivery price. The same mission is flown against a much smaller number.
You consume the flat part of the value curve and never own the asset, so the steep early decline never reaches your accounts.
Lessor, manager and charter programme under one roof removes the stacked margins built into a multi-provider arrangement.
Charter revenue on unused availability is credited back, cutting the net cost of every hour you do fly.

| Aviara Lease | New Aircraft Purchase | Fractional Share | Jet Card | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront capital | Security deposit and prepaid rentals only | Full purchase price, or substantial equity plus debt | Share purchase, typically a large six- to seven-figure sum | Block of hours paid for in advance |
| Depreciation exposure | None — retained by Aviara | Full, and steepest in the first years of ownership | Borne through the share value and exit formula | Embedded in the hourly rate |
| Asset age | Mid-life, mature and fully supported | New — priced accordingly | Typically new or near-new | Typically new or near-new |
| Aircraft availability | A dedicated tail, always yours | Dedicated | Shared fleet, subject to call-out notice | Fleet access, subject to notice and peak-day rules |
| Cabin & configuration | Specified to you and consistent on every flight | Fully bespoke | Whatever aircraft is allocated | Whatever aircraft is allocated |
| Providers to manage | One — lease, management and charter combined | Financier, management company and charter broker | One, but with no cost offset | One, but with no cost offset |
| Revenue offset when idle | Yes — charter revenue credited back | Only if separately arranged and managed | None | None |
| Exit | Hand back, renew or upgrade at term end | Sale process, with market and timing risk | Contractual buy-back, often below market | Unused hours, subject to expiry terms |
The comparison above is structural. Aviara will model an indicative all-in cost per hour for your specific mission profile — annual hours, typical sector lengths, home base and crewing requirement — and set it against the equivalent ownership, fractional and jet card figures, so the comparison is made on your numbers rather than generic ones.
One team handles structuring, acquisition, delivery and the life of the lease — so accountability never passes between providers.
We map your routes, annual hours and passenger requirement, then size the aircraft, term and rental around them.
We identify candidate aircraft and run full technical, operational and financial due diligence before acquisition.
Registration, crewing, insurance and maintenance planning are put in place, and the aircraft enters service.
You fly on your schedule; unused availability is chartered, with revenue credited back and reported transparently.
Business aviation has grown through every global downturn of the past five decades. The fleet is large and liquid, which is precisely what makes disciplined aircraft selection and remarketing possible.

Aviara was established by a team that has previously created, managed and operated aircraft leasing businesses — and is backed by a global capital markets platform with the balance sheet to acquire aircraft at pace.
Our senior management has held leading positions in aviation finance, aircraft manufacturing and airline operations — spanning structured asset finance and aviation lending at a global bank, chief financial officer roles at major business jet manufacturers, and the creation of leasing platforms for commercial carriers. That combination covers every discipline a lease touches: origination, credit, technical, operational and remarketing.
