Aircraft Engine Lease Finance, Inc. (AELF)

^{_{Our role}}

Investec has closed its second transaction with Aircraft Engine Lease Finance to finance their acquisition of one Airbus A330-200 aircraft, which is on lease to Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.

AELF is a global aircraft leasing company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, USA, providing leasing and financing solutions to the aviation industry. 

Hawaiian is one of the major U.S. airlines, providing an essential link between Hawaii and the mainland U.S., and its network extends to international destinations in the Pacific and Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand, and American Samoa.

The transaction highlights Investec’s commitment to supporting the aircraft leasing sector and marks further growth in the Aviation Finance team’s commercial aircraft financing strategy. 

“Our growing partnership with Investec is a vital building block in our strategic growth plans, with the latest lease to Hawaiian Airlines being a major accomplishment for the company in our home market,” said Joe Cirillo, Chief Commercial Officer.

Investec's Aviation Finance team worked closely with our Treasury Sales and Structuring team to manage fixed rate swaps.
