Backed by private equity firm Warburg Pincus, we formed Aquila Air Capital (“Aquila”) in March 2021 as a specialty finance platform, with an initial focus on purchasing, financing, and leasing mid- to late-life airframes and engines.
Today, we have expanded our platform to offer comprehensive full-service capabilities that include in-house origination, lease management, and technical oversight.
By focusing on high-touch, metal focused transactions, Aquila has been able to underwrite attractive deal-level economics while building our portfolio to $300 million of capital deployed.
Led by a management team with decades of experience in the aerospace and aviation industries, Aquila is a trusted partner to all players in the value chain, from buyers and sellers of assets to operators in need of creative and timely solutions for their critical business needs.
A diversified customer base of passenger airlines and freight carriers. From equity financing, fleet acquisitions and engine leasing, our full-service platform provides a wide range of tailored solutions to our valued partners.
