M&A Deal of the Year: $7.3 billion sale of Dublin-based RBS Aviation Capital to SMBC was a global event in aircraft leasing
Back
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation’s acquisition of RBS' aviation unit has won this year's M&A Deal of the Year by Aviation Finance's sister publication Finance Dublin. The deal is the largest sale ever of an aircraft leasing business and the biggest disposal by RBS since its UK government bailout. It is the biggest overseas takeover by a Japanese bank since at least 1999. In completing the takeover of RBS Aviation by Japan's second largest bank, Sumitomo Mitsui has given the green light for one of the 'jewels in the crown' of the aircraft leasing industry in Ireland to grow and expand.
