The selection, sourcing and financing of aircraft, leveraging an optimised approach, is equally important to an airline's commercial sustainability and success. Knighthood Global executives have built and run airlines and aviation groups at the highest level on six continents, consistently delivering results in line with their shareholder mandates. We bring an extensive understanding of historic trends and different markets and regions in aviation. Having placed two of the largest aircraft orders in commercial aviation history, we offer in-depth knowledge of asset capabilities, values and associated maintenance programmes. We have successfully financed over 1,000 aircraft, engines, maintenance and training assets.

While there is limited Operator choice in respect of some items of equipment is usually limited to two or three potential suppliers. Modern aircraft have a life expectancy of 25 plus years. It is therefore of paramount importance that operators select OEMs with whom they can maintain a dependable relationship from the initial purchase, to after-market support, and finally to the end-of-lease events. Selecting an OEM supplier is more than a numerical calculation. The total cost of ownership is the more important measure. Collectively the Knighthood Global team has worked with, audited, and inspected all the major OEMs of airframes, engines, supplier selected equipment, buyer-furnished equipment, in-flight entertainment (IFE) and connectivity. In every instance we used the total cost of ownership to evaluate OEM selections for hundreds of aircraft based on the criteria including competitive pricing, quality, transactions and relationship. Knighthood Global’s team has unrivalled expertise and experience in negotiating with and codifying agreements with OEMs which, when benchmarked, have proved to be competitive and ranked ‘best in class’ on several occasions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6d9bf7f53d955b1efa5a45/1606297682474-K0X6FGDX5DHGVB29HBTJ/shutterstock_730049134_BW.jpg About - What We Do - Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Every aircraft, irrespective of type and size, requires the care of an experienced maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) service provider. As with every other type of service provider, it’s best to identify the correct one before the actual work is started. The ideal MRO is one with an unimpeachable reputation for its skill set, expertise, and knowledge of a particular aircraft type. Finding the right MRO requires a blend of research, referrals and practical industry knowledge. With our in-depth contacts and experience, Knighthood is uniquely able to assist in the selection of the best MRO, which should include an evaluation of airframe capabilities, training, experience, downtime and their OEM relationships, while obtaining the best value for money. Obtaining comparable quotes from multiple MROs is both challenging and time consuming. Knighthood Global can assist not only in providing an accurate, well planned and highly detailed To-Do list for the maintenance event, but can also collate, evaluate, recommend, and if required, project manage the entire event while respecting and enhancing the OEM relationships. Early and efficient planning for an MRO event will reduce aircraft downtime, minimise costs, develop and enhance relationships with both OEMs and MROs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6d9bf7f53d955b1efa5a45/1606297473753-6H88S4VWQ07RZJZYYDR8/shutterstock_311421530.jpg About - What We Do - Aviation Knighthood’s aviation infrastructure and capital sourcing services connect airline operators, aircraft owners, MRO providers, and aviation technology developers with the investment partners required to scale and modernise their operations.
