AirFleet Capital is a privately owned general aviation aircraft financing company in the United States. Steve Smestad was a private pilot and owner of an aircraft when he founded us in 1994. We have become a leading aircraft financing company by delivering the most competitive rates, exceptional service, and maintaining absolute satisfaction with our customers. Due to our efforts, AirFleet has become one of the largest aircraft financing originators in the United States.

Our staff is dedicated to making your aviation adventure the fast and efficient experience that buyers are looking for during this exciting time. With over 8,600 aircraft financed, we have the experience and knowledge to coordinate all of the moving parts of your purchase. We work directly with The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), insurance firms, title and escrow companies, and sales organizations to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and accurate FAA records.

AirFleet Capital supports both aircraft manufacturers and sales organizations, by working with leaders to meet the changing needs of buyers. We have a long history of providing preferred financial support, establishing special ownership programs, and running captive finance programs.

As a company, we pride ourselves in being very active in the industry. This is achieved by attending trade events, speaking to owner groups, as well as meeting face-to-face with customers. This is all done in support of general aviation and to keep our finger on the pulse of our buyers.

The best compliment we have ever received came from an industry salesperson, who said, “You all understand our customer because you are our customer!”

We would love to be a part of your journey and make your purchase as enjoyable and easy as possible. Our intelligent approach to aircraft sellers and buyers aligns with all parties who share our passion about the aviation community.

We are committed to getting your financing done.
