Sichuan's First Aero-engine Bonded Financial Leasing Project Launched |
|
On January 8, the delivery ceremony of Sichuan's first bonded leasing aero-engine was held in Shuangliu Park of Chengdu High-Tech Comprehensive Bonded Zone(hereinafter referred to as "Shuangliu Comprehensive Bonded Zone"), marking the launching of the first aero-engine bonded financial leasing project in Chengdu Shuangliu Pilot Free Trade Zone.
The leasing subject of this project is Chengdu Tianying No. 1 Aircraft Leasing Co., Ltd., who introduced one PW1127 aero-engine (about 14.44 million US dollars) and leased it to Sichuan Airlines Co., Ltd. for a 10-year lease. Chengdu Tianying No. 1 Aircraft Leasing Co., Ltd., is an SPV company (Special Purpose Vehicle company) established in Shuangliu Comprehensive Bonded Zone by Tianhe International Financial Leasing Co., Ltd., who ranked among the top 50 global aviation leasing enterprises in 2018.
The aviation leasing industry, which takes the whole aircraft, aircraft engine, flight simulator, airport facilities and equipment and aviation equipment as leasing subject matters, is a high-end business form of the financial industry. For airlines, direct purchase of high-value assets such as aircraft and aviation equipment may cause heavy operating pressure. By adopting the mode of "bonded + financial leasing", the lessee does not need to pay one-off import tariff, and measures like policy access, tax preference and process improvement will save a lot of operating costs and scheduled expenditure for the lessee.
Taking the successful launching of the first aero-engine leasing project as an opportunity, Sichuan's aviation leasing industry will usher in a period of rapid development. In the next three to five years, Chengdu is expected to form a new growth pole of domestic aviation leasing after Tianjin, Shanghai and Xiamen through comprehensively improving the administrative environment of aviation financial policies, building the whole aviation leasing industry chain of whole aircraft, spare aero-engine, flight simulator, aviation equipment, airport facilities and equipment, focusing on the characteristic market segment of high plateau aircraft, and building the aviation leasing center in the west of China.
