Pacific Aviation Capital

Pacific Aviation Capital is a 16-year-old privately-owned company specializing in leasing, trading, financing, and sale-leasebacks of Boeing & Airbus commercial aircraft and Pratt Whitney, GE, CFMI, and Rolls Royce aircraft engines. We employ different strategies for equipment depending on age and position in the product-life cycle. Our network permits us to access multiple resources without incurring high overhead. Ongoing economic growth along with low fuel costs and low interest rates, have increased the demand for mid-life and older commercial aircraft. One of our biggest strengths is in realizing additional value from older equipment, an expertise that is not available to many market participants. One result of these changes is that the economics of forming a startup airline have improved significantly, breathing new life into older aircraft that would have been decommissioned due to high operating costs. However, many aviation financiers do not have the experience or knowledge to realize the full residual value on older aircraft or to mitigate risk on lessees who have a poor or no credit history. Another result is the increased demand for spare engines, which are necessary to minimize aircraft downtime while an engine is being repaired. Spare-engine leasing can earn returns that exceed those of aircraft leasing and is one of the areas in which the Pacific Aviation Capital team have many years of experience. If your airline or a company you know is looking to sell, purchase, finance, lease or do a sale-leaseback on an aircraft or aircraft engine, please contact Pacific Aviation Capital.
