FINANCE AND INSURANCE FOR THE STING
We are absolutely delighted to inform you that we have now been able to arrange full finance and insurance on the new Sting and the Star models. The Basic offering would constitute a combined package for you, in terms of which finance on the aircraft is approved, plus the aircraft is insured in-house with the financiers. Even more unbelievable, the commission that you would have paid on the insurance, is instead fed back into the deal to give you a better interest rate. The annual insurance premium is also financed, in that you get a better rate since you pay annually. Furthermore you have an aviation card which is not linked to any fuel company, and can also be used cross border for any aviation related transactions including hotels, spares, landing fees etc. This allows you to control and monitor the costs of operating your aircraft, especially where you claim tax benefits from the aircraft.

If you ever needed an excuse to buy your Sting now, simply click Right Here and we will contact you shortly with all the information you need.
