OVERVIEW

Built for the specific demands of aviation finance

Aviation accounting isn't a single discipline — it varies significantly based on whether you're managing an aircraft acquisition, tracking maintenance reserves for an MRO operation, or analyzing route economics for a regional carrier. Altifin's three service areas reflect those distinctions.

Each service can be engaged independently, or combined where multiple financial needs overlap within the same operation.

COMBINED ENGAGEMENTS

Services that work together

Some operations benefit from combining service areas. The most common combinations and their practical applications:

01 + 02

Owner-Operator Package

Aircraft owners who manage their own maintenance programs benefit from acquisition accounting paired with MRO reserve management — the full financial picture from purchase through ongoing operations.

02 + 03

Airline Operations Package

Regional carriers typically need both maintenance reserve management and route profitability analysis. Combining these produces a comprehensive view of operational and network economics together.

01 + 02 + 03

Full Financial Management

Charter operators and mid-size carriers with owned fleets and active route networks often engage all three services to cover the complete financial lifecycle — from asset acquisition through route optimization.
