Skypulse’s GIFT City address enables flexible leasing models that are customized to a client’s specific operational and financial needs. These models enable airlines or helicopter operators to obtain aircraft without the large upfront capital expenditure of a direct purchase. The tax advantages in GIFT City, such as the 100% tax holiday for 10 years and no GST or customs duty, significantly lower the cost of acquiring and holding these assets, allowing the company to offer more competitive lease rates to Indian and international clients. Skypulse currently provides following two leasing models
Operating Lease Model
An operating lease is a short to medium-term arrangement where the lessor (leasing company) retains ownership of the aircraft. The lessee (airline) pays a fixed monthly fee for a set period and returns the aircraft at the end of the term.
This model offers flexibility, allowing airlines to adjust their fleet size quickly in response to market changes without the long-term commitment and balance sheet liabilities of ownership. This is particularly advantageous for managing seasonal demand or testing new routes. Skypulse acts as a lessor for the fleet of aircraft it owns and acts as the bridging partner for international lessors and domestic operators, who together benefit from the tax saving advantage offered by Skypulse.
