Can I Save & Monitor Aircraft I’d Like To Buy For Later? 

If you find aircraft you are interested in but are not yet ready to purchase, you can add them to your Watchlist by clicking the listing’s heart icon. To view your list later, click the Watchlist link in the upper left of the page next to your name.

Calculate Aircraft Operating Costs Over Time

Sandhills Global’s Aircraft Cost Calculator (ACC) is a reliable, highly accurate web-based application that helps obtain projections for all costs associated with operating jet, piston, and turboprop aircraft and piston and turbine helicopters. ACC bases cost estimates on actual and projected utilization levels for aircraft owners, charter operators, and financing institutions.

ACC uses current, fully editable, preloaded real-world data gathered from owners, operators, and fleet managers on hundreds of airframes.

Finance Your Aircraft

CurrencyAir is a specialist in aviation financing with a network of lenders that offer some of the industry’s lowest rates with terms of up to 20 years for all kinds of aircraft for all kinds of missions. CurrencyAir matches buyers to the best lender and assists them from pre-qualification through closing. 

While many lenders will only finance aircraft under 20 years old, CurrencyAir will consider any single- or twin-engine piston aircraft, turboprop, jet, or helicopter manufactured in 1950 or later for financing. CurrencyAir also offers an Aircraft Loan Calculator to allow buyers to estimate what their loan payments might be. Buyers can start a financing application from any listing on Controller.com, links on the Controller homepage, or by visiting GoCurrency.com/Air.
