ABOUT US

Aviation Finance Expertise You Can Rely On

First Texas Capital was founded to serve a specific need in the aviation market: knowledgeable, relationship-driven aircraft financing informed by real operational understanding. Unlike traditional lenders, FTC focuses exclusively on aviation assets, allowing us to structure financing solutions that align with how aircraft are bought, operated, and valued.

FTC works closely with private aircraft owners, business aviation operators, brokers, and dealers throughout the acquisition and ownership lifecycle. Our close alignment with Texas Aero further strengthens this approach, providing insight into aircraft selection, operational considerations, and long-term ownership planning.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all loan products, we evaluate each transaction individually—matching borrower profile, aircraft type, and market conditions to the most effective financing structure.

OUR MISSION

To provide clear, competitive, and customized aircraft financing solutions while simplifying a complex process for buyers and owners.
