$1bn aircraft deal transformative for Falko, as Nordic raises $470m from pension fund
Back
In a transformative fleet expansion, UK-based regional aircraft lessor and asset manager Falko is acquiring from Avolon 28 Embraer EJet and 21 Bombardier CRJ aircraft on lease to nine operators worldwide. They have an appraised current market value in excess of $1 billion. Most come from the CIT Group portfolio acquired by Avolon in 2016. The deal will increase Falko’s portfolio to over 120 regional jets and turboprops and at the same time substantially reduce the average age of that fleet. Meanwhile, the leader in the regional aircraft marketplace, Nordic Aviation Capital, has entered into a financing agreement with Denmark’s largest commercial pension company, PFA, on a $470 million loan.
