Mint’s Approach
A Different Approach to Business Jet Leasing
- Operator-First Mindset
Mint’s starting point is the charter operator—fleet mix, city pairs, owner mix, and desired utilization. Aircraft are selected and configured to fit the operator’s business, not the other way around.
- Data-Driven Fleet Planning
We analyze utilization, trip profiles, and market demand to align each aircraft with its optimal role, whether as a core fleet workhorse or a long-range flagship.
- Long-Term Partnerships
Mint seeks multi-aircraft, multi-year relationships with charter operators, building consistent lift over time under a repeatable leasing framework.
Values
- Reliability – Aircraft that are maintained, configured, and managed to stay in service.
- Transparency – Clear economics, clear roles, and no surprises in structuring or reporting.
- Alignment – Shared targets for utilization, dispatch reliability, and economic performance.
- Integrity – Long-term relationships are built by doing what we say we’re going to do.
