A leaseback is a partnership where Hangar 28 provides an aircraft to your school, and in return, the school leases it for training operations. Your school gains access to a well-maintained aircraft without the upfront capital outlay of purchasing, while we handle acquisition, refurbishment, and financing.

We will work with you to place the right aircraft to fit your specific needs. We specialize in single-engine Cessna models such as the Cessna 150, 152, and 172. These aircraft are highly regarded in training environments due to their reliability, ease of maintenance, and wide availability of parts. Depending on your needs, we can also consider other popular training aircraft.

Yes. Every aircraft that we place undergoes a detailed refurbishment process that may include upgraded avionics, refreshed interiors, and mechanical inspections. This ensures that you, your students or flight club members fly in safe, reliable, and attractive aircraft that represents your organization well.

• Lower upfront costs – No need for a large capital investment.

• Flexibility – Scale your fleet without long-term ownership commitments.

• Maintenance peace of mind – Our aircraft are fully refurbished and maintained to FAA standards.

• Predictable costs – Fixed lease structures help you budget better.

Yes. We serve clients nationwide. Aircraft can be ferried or delivered directly to your location, and our lease agreements are structured to accommodate interstate operations.

We customize terms to fit your flying and training demand. Typical agreements run 12–36 months, with tiered pricing based on usage. Higher-utilization schools benefit from lower hourly costs, while smaller programs can start with more flexible arrangements.

Flight schools and clubs are responsible for day-to-day maintenance (such as 100-hour inspections and minor repairs), but Hangar 28 ensures the aircraft arrives airworthy and will support major refurbishment needs. Maintenance responsibilities are clearly outlined in each lease agreement to avoid surprises.

That’s exactly where we shine. We can scale with you. If your school experiences growth, we can add additional aircraft to your fleet under leaseback, helping you expand without tying up significant capital.

Yes. We require lessees to carry adequate insurance coverage for both the aircraft and liability. We’ll work with you to ensure policies meet industry standards and protect both your school and Hangar 28.

Simply reach out through our website contact form or call us directly. We’ll schedule a call to learn more about your school’s needs, student volume, and training goals. From there, we’ll match you with an aircraft and draft a lease agreement tailored to your operation.
