WHAT WE DO / AVIATION / AIRCRAFT FINANCE & LEASING
Our aviation experts have over 40 years of experience in the airline and banking industries and have been involved in over 170 aircraft transactions with an estimated transaction value approaching US$30 billion.
Our airline non-contentious practice is growing as illustrated by our relationships with several Middle Eastern and European airlines. We also focus on the business jet market, where we again act for clients in Europe and the Middle East.
We have been increasingly asked to handle structured aviation finance work, which is a growing part of our business both in London and globally. This type of work is typically handled by the integrated Ince global team, spanning our London, Paris and Dubai offices.
We have broad experience of dealing with the major suppliers and manufacturers in the airline business. On the aircraft leasing side we act for the major global operating lessors.
Our transactional expertise includes:
- sale, purchase and finance of assets
- operating leases
- pooling of engines and spares
- repossession of aircraft.
