DESCRIPTION
This financial model is meticulously designed to analyze and forecast the financial performance of private aircraft rental businesses, offering flexibility for operations involving both owned and leased aircraft. If your business focuses on private jet charters or aircraft rental business, this tool provides a dynamic and robust solution for strategic financial planning and decision-making.
The model delivers a 5-year forecast horizon (60 months) and includes placeholders for up to 36 months of historical financial data. It accommodates multiple revenue streams, such as hourly charter revenue, membership fees, and ancillary services (e.g., catering, ground handling). Additionally, the model provides clear differentiation between owned and leased aircraft, allowing users to input distinct operational costs, and depreciation schedules for owned aircraft versus lease payments for leased aircraft.
This financial model is a powerful resource for internal planning, pricing strategies, investor presentations, and financing applications, tailored specifically for businesses managing a mixed fleet of owned and leased aircraft.
The Pro version of the financial model focuses on core financial planning and analysis needs, organized into six main sections:
