FLYING Finance, the aircraft lending division of FLYING Magazine, is on-site at the 2025 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas this week, working to advance the company’s mission of connecting pilots and aircraft owners with financing solutions designed by aviators, for aviators.

The company works with a network of lenders to provide flexible solutions for piston, turboprop, and jet aircraft, as well as refinancing and partnership opportunities for individual owners and flight departments. Its team is continuing to expand its portfolio, recently signing new partnerships with Tecnam Aircraft and Bristell Aircraft.

As part of Firecrown’s Aviation Group, FLYING Finance draws on the deep experience, industry reach, and credibility of FLYING Magazine and its sister brands AVweb, Plane & Pilot, and KITPLANES.

The division is led by Keller Laseter, a professional pilot with firsthand understanding of the aircraft purchasing process.

“Aircraft financing should be guided by people who understand why pilots fly—not just how to structure a loan,” Laseter said. “At FLYING Finance, we combine deep financial expertise with the lived experience of aviators, helping customers make informed, confident decisions about their aircraft.”

Laseter and Firecrown’s aviation team are at Booth 3071 this week.
