Reuters reported that the seed portfolio is valued at $1.4 billion, has an average age of about five years and is leased to 17 airlines in 15 countries. Avolon will retain a minority stake and serve as exclusive manager and servicer.
A person familiar with the venture said it aims to expand to $6 billion. The platform gives investors contracted aircraft-leasing cash flows while sharing the capital risk of fleet ownership.
