According to NFC President Adam Aldous, it’s this latter scenario that allows L.E.A.S.E. to display all it has to offer.


“In that case, NFC actually is an air operator for public service law           


In other words, what L.E.A.S.E. does for law enforcement agencies is comparable to what Air Evac Lifeteam and Air Methods does in providing helicopter EMS for hospitals.

While many agencies know they need an aviation unit, they have no                aircraft and equip it appropriately, but there are also procedural and legal requirements to master. From manuals and safety management systems to funding and hiring, the process can seem overwhelming.


Now with L.E.A.S.E., NFC musters their aviation experience and industry relationships to assist law enforcement agencies throughout the process. “Our L.E.A.S.E. program grew with out of the box thinking into a comprehensive aviation solution           enforcement air asset patrolling the skies,” says Aldous. “We expanded upon a standard aircraft lease program to provide additional levels of support and service.”


The L.E.A.S.E. Difference


There are additional ways that L.E.A.S.E. differs from a traditional helicopter leasing program. A traditional lessor just leases aircraft, and maybe equipment. In contrast, NFC not only leases aircraft and equipment, but it also is an aviation operator with experience in law enforcement, military, and other government agencies. “We’re already tied in and doing a lot with these government organizations through our other capabilities at Night Flight Concepts. In this industry, those type of relationships are key,” says Aldous.


NFC CEO Gordon Jiroux further explains this difference. “With traditional lease programs offered by your typical leasing companies, the lease is very similar to a standard automotive vehicle lease. The lessee is responsible for all things associated with the use of the vehicle. With our L.E.A.S.E. program, the full support that comes with our leased helicopters is second to none. Within NFC’s standard lease we include the pilot, mechanic, insurance, parts, a Heliwagon, and our business support team. It is completely turnkey.” Of course, if an aviation unit doesn’t need all those services, then in those cases NFC can work to provide a more traditional lease.
