Understand aircraft leasing from structure to redelivery
Leasing is where the money and the risk both sit. This masterclass breaks down the full leasing cycle — operating, finance, wet and dry structures, maintenance reserves, commercial negotiation, and the return and redelivery process where deals most often go wrong.
The full leasing cycle, start to finish
Built for aviation professionals and brokers who need to understand how leasing actually works — taught through real-world examples and current industry standards.
Structure and compare the main lease types — operating, finance, wet and dry — and know which fits a given commercial situation.
Manage maintenance reserves and track aircraft utilisation, so the numbers behind the lease hold up over its life.
Keep lease documentation, compliance and record integrity to the standard the next transaction will be judged against.
Negotiate the commercial terms that matter between lessors, lessees and operators — and recognise which points are worth holding.
Manage return, redelivery and inspection requirements, the stage where leases most often turn into disputes.
Apply the methods experienced brokers use to protect profitability and reduce leasing risk on both sides of the deal.
Built for people on either side of a lease
Brokers advising on leases
Clients ask about leasing as an alternative to buying. Answering well requires understanding reserves, terms and redelivery — not just the headline rate.
Operators & management companies
You're taking aircraft onto or off your certificate and need the documentation, compliance and utilisation tracking to hold up.
Owners & aviation finance
Evaluating lease structures against ownership, or working the commercial side of aircraft finance and asset management.

Before you enroll
Yes — and in all three. The Aircraft Leasing Masterclass is included at no extra cost in the Charter Broker Package ($999), the Sales Broker Package ($999) and the Complete Program ($1,499). If you're planning to certify as a broker anyway, buy the package rather than this masterclass separately — you'd otherwise pay twice for the same content.
Leasing is one of the more commercially technical topics we cover, and it assumes you're comfortable with basic aviation terminology. There are no formal prerequisites, but if you're starting from zero, the Charter or Sales Broker Course gives you the grounding first — and includes this masterclass anyway.
Lifetime access, including any future updates to the material. Come back to it whenever a live trip raises something you want to check.
No — masterclasses are focused training on a single operational topic. IABI's certifications are the Aircraft Charter Broker and Aircraft Sales Broker courses, which include a final exam. Masterclasses support those certifications rather than replacing them.
Yes. The masterclass covers leasing in the context of the global aviation market, and the commercial structures — operating, finance, wet and dry — are used internationally. Specific registration, tax and regulatory treatment varies by jurisdiction, so confirm those points with an aviation attorney for any particular transaction.
Yes — Klarna and Afterpay are available at checkout. Please note the fee is non-refundable, as this is a digital product with immediate full access — which is why we encourage a free consultation first if you're at all unsure.
