Edition 4: Clean Exits - Repayment Without Loose Ends

Lendicate/Insights/Clean Exits - Repayment Without Loose Ends

Full repayment may not end an aircraft owner's obligations and guarantees — clean exit mechanics should be understood before entering into the financing, not when you are exiting. This edition explores the key steps involved in a clean exit from an aircraft financing, including security release, deregistration, guarantee discharge, and document handback — and why these should be negotiated upfront.

Borrowers and Lessees and their obligor parties shall complete satisfactory due diligence including know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) requirements.
