Aircraft leasing and financing are complex due to high costs, regulatory hurdles, and illiquid secondary markets. Digital assets and real world assets (RWA) are introducing transformative solutions by enabling tokenized aircraft ownership, automated lease agreements, and transparent asset tracking that streamline aviation finance.
Tokenizing Commercial Aircraft and Helicopters
Aviation companies can tokenize commercial aircraft, helicopters, or private jets to allow fractional ownership and investment from global stakeholders. This model reduces entry barriers and introduces liquidity to an otherwise rigid market.
Smart Contract-Driven Lease Agreements and Maintenance Scheduling
Lease terms, insurance requirements, and maintenance schedules can be embedded into smart contracts, ensuring compliance and reducing disputes between lessors and lessees. Payments and renewals are executed automatically, improving operational efficiency.
Real-World Use Case: EasyJet and Blockchain-Based Fleet Management
EasyJet and other airlines are exploring blockchain for fleet tracking and maintenance scheduling. Digital assets and RWA enhance this by providing a transparent ledger of aircraft usage, service history, and ownership transfers.
Secondary Marketplaces for Aviation Investments
Tokenized aircraft can be traded on compliant digital exchanges, allowing investors to exit positions before maturity. This liquidity boost makes aviation investment more attractive and accessible to a wider range of participants.
