AGL launch targets aviation finance and insurance
AGL was founded by pilots who knew the aviation lending market was underserved, too complex and inaccessible to many. It aims to simplify the process, matching solutions to customer’s specific needs.

Aircraft Guarantee & Lending (AGL) has proudly launched as a specialised US aircraft loan and insurance brokerage dedicated to sourcing financing and insurance for light jets, turboprops and piston aircraft. Under the leadership of Alex Martin, vice president of lending, AGL is set to fill a significant gap in the aircraft lending market. AGL’s streamlined, customer-first approach provides expert guidance and fast access to competitive rates, empowering private owners and larger operators to take to the skies confidently.

AGL is also thrilled to participate in key industry events this year. It will celebrate its launch by exhibiting at the NBAA-BACE convention in Las Vegas, Nevada and the Piper M-Class Owners & Pilots Association (PMOPA) convention in Austin, Texas.

“The NBAA and PMOPA conventions are key events in the aviation industry, and we are honoured to be a part of them,” Martin adds. “These platforms allow us to engage directly with our clients and partners, thus fostering relationships that are critical to our mission.”

Key features of AGL services:

- Flexible financing options: AGL has recently executed strategic partnerships with multiple large and small financial institutions that will provide customers with competitive rates and terms tailored to their unique needs. Aviation loan products are available for first-time buyers as well as fleet operators.

- Comprehensive insurance coverage: AGL has completed an exclusive partnership with a premiere aviation insurance provider. Policies are custom-designed to protect clients’ aircraft and missions, ensuring peace of mind for every flight.

- Expedited application process: AGL’s user-friendly online system speeds approvals, granting swifter access to funds for timely purchases.

“We founded AGL with the understanding that the aviation lending market is underserved, too complex and inaccessible to many. AGL aims to simplify the process, helping clients keep their focus on their passion for aviation,” says Martin. “Because we are also pilots, our team of aviation experts understands the importance of matching each solution to our customer’s specific needs.”

Headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, AGL serves the entire US with financing and insurance solutions for most aircraft. Financing and insurance solutions are available for charter operators, flight schools, flying clubs and personal-use aircraft.
