Ningbo's first aircraft import leasing business landed in Qianwan New Area

Recently, with the support of the new district customs under Ningbo Customs, two Airbus H160 helicopters quickly completed all import customs clearance procedures, with a value of 240 million yuan, and were successfully removed by the enterprise. This event marks the successful landing of Ningbo's first aircraft import leasing business in Qianwan New District.
Aviation leasing trade is the mainstream business model for domestic aviation enterprises to introduce new aircraft and expand their fleet size, and it is also a highly dynamic emerging trade format in the aerospace industry. Simply put, it means that the lessor delivers high-end equipment such as aircraft to the lessee in the form of a contract lease, and uses it within the agreed period. The lessee pays the rent on time and does not need to pay a huge equipment procurement fee at once. This model has effectively solved the industry pain points of general aviation enterprises, such as high pressure on aircraft purchase funds, high asset occupancy rate and high operating costs, and is of great significance to optimize the asset structure of enterprises, prevent operational risks and revitalize working capital.
The main entity of this leasing business is Zhejiang Desheng General Aviation Co., Ltd. This enterprise is a comprehensive service provider in the aerospace field introduced by the Qianwan New Area in Ningbo. The enterprise is deeply engaged in the full chain business of helicopter sales and leasing, maintenance and modification, aviation material supply, and general aviation operation.
Compared to the full payment procurement model, importing helicopters through leasing trade this time does not require us to pay the full purchase price, directly reducing the capital occupation of hundreds of millions of yuan and greatly alleviating the cash flow pressure of the enterprise. "Hu Jie, the head of customs affairs at Zhejiang Desheng Airlines, said that helicopters are particularly good at dealing with complex scenarios. For example, in the field of comprehensive emergency rescue, it can be used for mountain and sea rescue, executing tasks such as cable descent, casualty transportation, and material delivery. At the same time, this aircraft model can also target the private and business aviation markets, meeting the needs of high-end business travel and low altitude sightseeing.
