We are more than aircraft financiers
We have hands on the metal, and we know how to maintain and manage an aircraft efficiently at every stage, for ourselves and our counterparties.
At AELF, we are airplane people, together building something great.
Formed in 2015, our business has been built through steady, organic growth, by reinvestment of our own capital and informed decision-making. While some leasing companies are focused primarily on paper, at AELF, aircraft are our specialty. As a "high touch" lessor with hands-on-the-metal expertise, we fully understand the asset—nose to tail. AELF is skilled at preserving an aircraft’s value and adding to that value at critical points of transition in its life.
We are a long-standing team with a culture of resilience woven into all we do. Through earned trust and credibility, we’ve grown with our airline customers and helped them navigate challenges, market fluctuations, fleet transitions, route additions and initiated first-of-type leases in several cases. Our deep relationships with operators ensure efficient and comprehensive placement and remarketing of aircraft.
We welcome new partners that understand our culture and offer mutual growth and development, and we hope you will play a part in our story.
Backed by equity that is sophisticated in aviation and extremely nimble, we offer counterparties around the world unique solutions that are custom fit to their current objectives.
Technical Expertise
Our technical expertise sets us apart in the industry and ensures we maximize value of the asset at every turn.
Operational Integrity
Our hands on lease management function preserves the integrity of our assets through close monitoring, regular records updating and pro-active, preventative action.
Strategic Partnerships
Our long standing relationships with the operators helps to ensure efficient and comprehensive placement and remarketing at the end of each lease.
AELF acquires aircraft that are on long-term operating lease as well as mid-life aircraft in transition between lessees, with stub leases or temporarily off-lease. We have sale and leaseback capability to support the objectives of an airlines fleet plan. As a nimble organization, AELF is a flexible, expeditious and reliable counterparty with which to transact.

Our success is a testament to the strong foundation we have built through continual reinvestment of our own capital and development of strong partnerships with relationship lenders who understand our needs and have grown alongside us.
We’ve built deep, one-on-one relationships with airlines around the world who look to us first. We understand their needs and have grown with them.
We are connected to our lessees’ fleet requirements over the long-term, enabling us to offer elegant, customized financial solutions that solve for today and foster their development for the future.
We continually put our profits back to work and welcome new, like-minded lenders, lessees and other partners that understand our culture and our goals. We are a long-standing team that works together to maintain deep industry relationships, maximize opportunities and persevere through obstacles
