What Does a Competitive Benefits Package Look Like in Aircraft Leasing Today?

As competition for talent continues across the aircraft leasing sector, salary alone is no longer the defining factor in attracting and retaining people.

Hybrid working, pension contributions, healthcare, family-friendly policies, annual leave and broader wellbeing benefits are all playing an increasingly important role in how professionals assess prospective employers. For employers, understanding how their offering compares with the wider market has become essential.

To help answer that question, Coopman has published its latest Aircraft Leasing Benefits Benchmarking Report, bringing together insight from aircraft leasing organisations across the industry to provide a snapshot of today's employee benefits landscape.

Why We Produced the Repor

Aircraft leasing is a highly specialised market, yet organisations often have limited visibility of how their benefits compare with those of their peers.

Through conversations with HR leaders and business executives across the sector, we repeatedly heard the same questions:

  • Are our benefits competitive?
  • What are other leasing companies offering?
  • How much flexibility has become the norm?
  • Are employee expectations changing?

This research was designed to help answer those questions with practical market insight.

Looking Beyond Salary

While remuneration remains important, benefits are increasingly shaping the overall employee value proposition.

Today's professionals are evaluating employers across a much broader range of factors, including:

  • Annual leave entitlement
  • Pension contributions
  • Private healthcare
  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements
  • Family-friendly policies
  • Learning and development opportunities
  • Wellbeing initiatives

For employers, understanding where they sit within the market can support recruitment, improve retention and strengthen conversations around future people strategies.

The report reflects contributions from organisations across the aircraft leasing community, creating a valuable benchmark for employers reviewing their own offering.
