  • Aircraft manufacturers, including Liberty Aerospace and LSA makers like Sport Hornet LRS, are offering various incentives for year-end purchases.
  • These incentives often include free fuel, scheduled maintenance, insurance, training, and even deposit matching or free delivery.

As the year end approaches, aircraft manufacturers keep rolling out incentives and reminding prospective owners that the bonus tax depreciation applying to light aircraft will end on Dec. 31. To sweeten the pot, Liberty Aerospace is offering free fuel, free scheduled maintenance (125 hours worth for both) and free insurance for those who buy a Liberty two-place before the end of the year. It’s also offering five hours of free training and matching deposits made on competing aircraft (up to $5,000) for those who pick a Liberty instead. LSA manufacturers continue to offer incentives, as well, the latest being the manufacturers of Sport Hornet LRS.

Ed Downs, president of parent company Kindred Spirits Enterprises said he’s offering incentives similar to those being presented by bigger companies and throwing in free delivery of finished aircraft. Downs said financing is also available.
