AerFin, the aviation asset specialist that buys, sells, leases and repairs aircraft, engines and parts, has completed the sale of a second CFM56-5B engine from the A320ceo family to a Japanese company.
The transaction was advised by BeYoke Capital, a specialist in aircraft structured finance.
The project is designed as a commercial partnership between AerFin – which has its global headquarters in Newport – and the investor, Keiyo Gas Energy Solution Co., Ltd. (KGES), aiming for upside sharing through a lease-to-part-out with consignment structure.
This second engine sale follows AerFin’s initial transaction into Japan last year.
Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin, said:
“Completing a second engine sale into Japan is a clear sign of the trust and momentum we’re building in this critically important market. It underlines both the quality of our assets and the strength of the relationships we’re developing with Japanese investors. We’re grateful to BeYoke for their continued support and expertise in helping us grow in this market.
“This milestone aligns with our broader commitment to the Asia Pacific region, following the opening of our Singapore office and the growth of our multi-lingual team who are focused on deepening partnerships across the region.”
Rion Sato, CEO of BeYoke Capital, added:
“We’re delighted to have advised KGES and AerFin on this transaction. It’s encouraging to see the continued confidence of Japanese investors in aviation assets, and we’re eager to help cultivate further opportunities in this space for the broader Japanese investment community.”
