Industry Insiders
Right Place. Right Time. Right Capital.
You know the deals we're talking about—the ones that don't hit the open market. A hangar conversation. A distressed operator. A parted-out twin with clean engines. A ferry pilot who just saw a gem. A captain with the inside track on a grounded aircraft that needs a new home.
Whether you're a charter broker, OEM rep, first officer, director of maintenance, or just someone who knows where the bodies are buried—we're your capital partner when timing is everything.
ZED Aerocapital backs insiders like you with the speed and certainty to close. No committees. No red tape. Just tactical capital that moves when the opportunity does. You bring the deal. We'll help you fund it and make it real.
