Investec Aviation Finance has provided more than $100m (€92.1m) of financing to specialist aircraft lease and asset manager Airborne Capital as demand for debt in the sector continues to strengthen.
The senior debt facility was secured against a portfolio of five young narrowbody aircraft.
Each aircraft has a different lessee, including a mix of flag carriers and low-cost carriers.
Investec said the facility was structured to cater to specific lease extension options while addressing the maintenance contributions and end-of-lease return obligations. The facility also included an aspect of off-lease aircraft financing.
Derek Wong at Investec Aviation Finance said: “We are delighted to close this significant transaction with Airborne Capital and deepen the relationship between two innovative aviation capital providers. We look forward to working with Airborne on future projects.�
Anand Ramachandran, chief financial officer at Airborne Capital, said: “This deal will allow us to continue growing our business and client base. It was a pleasure to complete this transaction with Investec and we look forward to working with its team again in future.�
Last month, Investec provided $30m of debt financing to Titan Aircraft Investments.
