Investec Aviation Finance and ACIA Aero Leasing have been honoured with the Revolving Credit Facility Deal of the Year Award. Airfinance Journal recognised their innovative master facility structure that enabled the lessor to seize acquisition opportunities.

 

LONDON – June 9, 2023 – Investec and ACIA Aero Leasing (“ACIA”), a leading regional aircraft lessor, were named the 2022 recipient of the Revolving Credit Facility Deal of the Year award by Airfinance Journal (“AFJ”), recognising both companies’ involvement in a $59 million revolving credit facility transaction that enabled ACIA to finance a fleet of 14 aircraft.

“ACIA has been a long-standing client of Investec. During this time, we have got to know their business well. By understanding their requirements and from our enduring relationship, we were able to structure a facility that delivered the certainty, flexibility and speed of execution for ACIA to execute on its owned fleet growth,” commented Bradley Gordon, Head of Aviation Finance at Investec Bank in South Africa.

“The facility comprised an innovative master facility structure. This facility from Investec has given ACIA the flexibility to grow its owned fleet by taking advantage of acquisition opportunities as they presented themselves. Investec has been a steadfast partner of ACIA and we look forward to growing our relationship with them for many years to come,” added Mick Mooney, CEO of ACIA Aero Leasing.
