Vman will soon announce its first dry lease transaction, the company said in a statement. A dry lease is a leasing arrangement where an aircraft lessor provides an aircraft without crew, ground staff, etc, to an airline or corporation.
The union budget announced earlier in the year rolled out several incentives and tax holidays on capital gains on aircraft leasing conducted at Gift city. “One of the biggest challenges this segment faces is access to leased equipment at reasonable costs,” said Vishok Mansingh, chief executive of Vman Aviation Services.
“However, with recently announced Government initiatives, incentives, IFSCA’s policy on aircraft leasing, GIFT city infrastructure and our own extensive domestic market experience, Vman can provide economical leasing solutions to the general, business and helicopter segment in India,” he said adding that the company hopes to conduct leases of more Airbus aircraft in future.
