Overview

As most transactions in the aviation and aerospace industry are undertaken in US dollars, aviation businesses based in other countries — such as in the UK — need to convert their earnings to sterling in order to fulfil operational costs on home ground.

Currency fluctuations in today’s volatile markets mean that there is the risk of currency costs chipping away at your bottom line. This is especially critical for aviation businesses that need to make a significant number of regular transfers between US dollars and other currencies.

In order to maintain a healthy bottom line, financial directors need to be able to budget for losses on currency conversions and avoid risk wherever possible.

“As a business enjoying high levels of growth, we were keen to add a non-banking service provider to our book of Foreign Exchange suppliers. Smart Currency Business’ clear focus in the aviation sector, coupled with their constant determination towards eliminating currency costs and removing exchange rate risk from our bottom line made them the obvious choice.”
