AerFin, the aviation asset specialist that buys, sells, leases and repairs aircraft, engines and parts, has taken a major step forward in the aviation aftermarket by collaborating with a Middle Eastern investor on the acquisition of four A320neo aircraft.
AerFin – which has its global headquarters in Newport – said the acquisition reflects its progressive approach to aviation asset management, strengthening its commitment to providing high-quality Used Serviceable Material (USM) and extending the operational life of aviation components to support airlines, lessors and MROs worldwide.
By dismantling these A320neo aircraft, AerFin is significantly expanding its inventory, addressing the increasing demand for USM as airlines seek efficient, lower-cost alternatives to new parts.
The A320neo family has become one of the most successful narrowbody aircraft platforms in aviation history, with over 10,000 orders and widespread adoption by operators worldwide. AerFin’s acquisition of these 2017 vintage aircraft from Aviation Capital Group (ACG) presents a key opportunity to support active fleets by making high-quality parts available in an aftermarket where demand exceeds supply.
Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin, said:
“This is a landmark moment for AerFin and a testament to our expertise in the aviation aftermarket. The acquisition of these A320neo aircraft highlights our ability to secure high-value assets and provide airlines with sustainable, cost-effective solutions. Our customers rely on us for quality, reliability and innovation, and this deal strengthens our ability to deliver exactly that.”
Auvinash Narayen, Chief Investment Officer at AerFin, added:
“This acquisition is a strategic move that reinforces our ability to source and manage premium aviation assets. The A320neo aircraft represent an important addition to our portfolio, and this deal reflects our agility and expertise in navigating complex transactions.
“We’re excited about the opportunities this opens up – not just for AerFin, but for our customers worldwide.”
Carter White, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer, Aviation Capital Group, said:
“This transaction with AerFin represents a significant step in the evolution of the aviation aftermarket, and we are pleased to have partnered with AerFin on the sale of these four A320neo airframes.
“AerFin’s innovative approach to aftermarket solutions aligns with our focus on dynamic portfolio management and creating value at any time across the aircraft lifecycle. We are proud to support this milestone initiative and look forward to future collaboration with the AerFin team.”
