Financing a Turbine or Turboprop Aircraft
We know what it’s like to own an airplane. Whether you’re purchasing a multiengine for your business or a single-engine for personal travel, AOPA Aviation Finance is available to help members find the right financing for new and used general aviation aircraft.
Our friendly loan specialists take the hassle out of navigating the complex and sometimes hidden financing options to help you own that next piston aircraft quickly. Call us today at 800.627.5263 to learn more about our loan programs for piston aircraft.

Our loan experts have worked with tens of thousands of owners and pilots just like you, helping them save time and money and avoid many acquisition headaches. We will be on your side through the process. It’s like having your own Aircraft Purchasing Department. See some of our most recent transactions.
AOPA Aviation Finance offers:
- Competitive Rates
With interest rates now rising, there’s no better time to look at our options. We can help with new purchases or review your existing loan and potentially provide options that can save you thousands every month.
- Most comprehensive options for owner flown aircraft in the industry
We take the time to understand your needs and explain the differences in loan structures, rates and options, helping you make the most informed decision. And let’s not forget, saving you money!
- Customized loan structuring with up to 85% LTV and up to 20-year standard terms
Get access to lenders, not accessible to the general public, that specialize in structuring loan terms tailored to your unique needs. If standard 85% LTV and 20-year terms are too restrictive for you, we can frequently work with lenders to come up with creative solutions to meet your specific needs.
- We excel in financing everything from piston to large cabin aircraft and everything in between
Unlike many general aviation finance brokers, we work with over a dozen different lenders. We have leveraged AOPA’s reputation to provide access to the best lenders that cater specifically to the aviation community.
- Credit & asset-based loans, fixed rates, floating rates and hybrids
We know not all pilots are the same when it comes to buying aircraft. We offer a variety of loans that can be custom-tailored to meet your specific aircraft financing needs.
- We can complete loans other large lenders can’t. We get “out of the box” deals done!
While not everyone can get a loan, we truly excel at helping to find or create funding solutions not readily available. If your situation is unique, or if you would simply like to know all the various options out there, our depth of lending relationships can uniquely help you.
